*This position is very dynamic. If you aren't completely sure you are qualified, but are still interested, I encourage you to still apply*. Those with CNC/Machining/Manufacturing experience is a huge plus.
This position is somewhat unique. I don't generally run a 9-5; I'm a growing small business looking to hire someone detail-oriented and comfortable taking on different responsibilities as production needs change. I'm willing to work with full time, part time, or custom schedules as I'm pretty flexible. Mechanical inclination strongly preferred, but not required.
I value people who enjoy creating and working on their own projects. When applying and if you're comfortable, please tell me about any personal projects, hobbies, or hands-on interests you pursue outside of work. Domain or genre doesn't matter, creativity and industriousness is something I value!
