Mechanical Design Recruitment, Without the Noise
We don't try to recruit every engineering discipline. We focus on one defined technical market: the engineers who design machinery, automation and special purpose equipment — typically working in SolidWorks or Inventor, taking designs from concept through to manufacture.
Hiring a design engineer is about more than matching a job title. Industry background, CAD environment, machinery experience and manufacturing knowledge all matter — so that's what we look at.
