Engineering Technician

Mishimoto’s mission is to empower automotive enthusiasts through engineered solutions that elevate performance, reliability, and design - enabling them to push their vehicles further with confidence. Our foundation is in performance cooling, but our mission extends to any engineered product that meaningfully improves the vehicles our customers care deeply about. We build for people who are part of the car community - who modify, upgrade, and obsess over their vehicles as a form of self-expression. Our vision is to become the trusted performance partner for automotive enthusiasts worldwide. Job Summary We are seeking a full-time Engineering Technician to support product development and work directly with engineers and the product team - building prototypes, testing, working on vehicles, and providing solutions to technical problems. This is a hands-on role involving fabrication, testing, and real-work vehicle work. You’ll touch every stage of the product lifecycle- from early-stage prototype builds and testing to data collection, analysis, and install guide creation. No two days look the same; one day you’re on a lift pulling parts for an engineer, the next you’re running a pressure or heat transfer test and presenting findings to the team. The ideal candidate brings mechanical aptitude, a bias towards action, and genuine enthusiasm for performance vehicles. Primary Responsibilities Build physical prototypes for the product engineers. Conduct various experiments involving pressure, force, airflow, heat transfer, lifecycle, and destructive testing. Document results and present data to engineers in a clear manner. Inspect, package, and manufacture select products. Create written install guides for new and existing products. Remove and replace (R&R) parts on vehicles for product engineers. 3D scan various parts of the vehicle for space claim. Maintain all equipment and machines in the shop; maintain and continuously improve overall shop safety. Champion growth and change for the department and the company - always excited for the next challenge. Qualifications A personal passion for auto products and the industry - nobody knows what a car enthusiast wants in a product better than a car enthusiast. Experience in a manufacturing environment, including welding, material selection, and assembly methods. Strong timeliness and attention to detail. Basic knowledge of Microsoft Excel, Word, and Outlook. Electromechanical experience building custom machinery or test rigs is a plus Ability to use 3D modeling software; read and create 2D drawings is a plus Hands‑on experience with vehicles (professional or general mechanics) is a plus What You Bring Skills and experience matter - but so does who you are. We’re building a team with a Founders Mentality, and the intangibles are non‑negotiable: Drive - You don’t wait to be pointed at work. You identify what needs to happen and make it happen. Grit - You grind through hard problems, absorb setbacks, and come back sharper. The work isn’t always clean, and you’re fine with that. Emotional intelligence - You read rooms, build trust across functions and seniority levels, and know when to push and when to listen. Team‑first orientation - You understand that individual wins don’t mean much if the team loses. You pick up what needs picking up. Winner’s mentality - You keep score, hold yourself to a high standard, and genuinely care about outcomes - not just activity. Enthusiast mindset - You get the customer because in some way you are the customer. Passion for cars, performance, or the broader enthusiast culture is a genuine differentiator here. Education & Experience S. in Engineering Technology or related degree. A H.S. diploma with 5+ years’ experience in a relatable field may substitute for a degree. Two to five years’ experience executing various experiments and building prototypes, both with and without technical drawings from engineers. Our Core Values The principles that guide how we show up every day - and what we expect from everyone on the team. TEAMWORK We win as a unit. Collaboration isn’t a soft skill here - it’s how work gets done. We have each other’s backs and celebrate shared success. MOTORHEADS We build for people who care deeply about their vehicles - because that’s who we are. Genuine enthusiasm for the craft isn’t optional; it drives everything. INNOVATION We don’t preserve the status quo. We challenge assumptions, explore new solutions, and bring a restless curiosity to every category and every problem. SERVICE We hold ourselves to a higher standard in everything - for our customers, our channel partners, and each other. Good enough is never good enough. HEART We bring genuine passion to the work. Heart is what separates going through the motions from making something worth being proud of. We care. INTEGRITY We do what we say, say what we mean, and own our outcomes. Trust is the foundation of every relationship - with teammates, customers, and partners alike.
