FAQ - 

 What is the size of the team I'm expected to work with? – The manufacturing tech team between first and second shift will be about 45 employees (33 on 1st shift, 12 on 2nd shift).

Product type teams range from 7-10 techs – but depending on the tasks asked to work, employees can be asked to work individually or in smaller “sub” teams. The manufacturing team extends beyond just the techs; working with Manufacturing Engineers, Quality Assurance, and Material Control.

This is not a program project hire. We have a large backlog of programs which has increased the headcount requirements. We continue to build that backlog.
