Why Work Here?

Enjoy working in a prototype shop with a great work environment, where engineers and production teams collaborate to build prototypes of new equipment or updates to existing equipment.

Work Environment

The prototype shop is a small, fully functioning production area where engineers work directly with the production team to build prototypes.
