Engineering Technician

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. Working Conditions Full-time, on-site role based at Mishimoto’s Garnet Valley, PA headquarters. Shop, garage, and machine shop environment with regular exposure to power tools and equipment. Must be able to lift 50 lb. Must be capable of standing, maneuvering, and working on vehicles for up to 8 hours per day. Must be comfortable working in a garage and machine shop environment.
