About Edare
Do you want to be part of a team that is innovating metrology solutions for the defense and commercial aerospace market? Edare is seeking to hire a Production and Service Engineer to build and support our products. The initial focus will be on Edare’s Fastener Measurement Tool (FMT) and related products. The FMT was developed for F-35 fastener inspection and the U.S. Department of Defense has identified it as one of the key technologies needed to meet the F-35 production rate goals. Today, the FMT is in its 3rd generation and sales are being targeted to other platforms, both military and commercial. Edare is actively working to build its Metrology team and improve the tool to ensure the FMT can continue to grow into new markets. Despite the metrology focus, this role may be involved in a variety of business areas at Edare, and the position may be tailored to the right individual. The ideal candidate will be able to apply their expertise to a broad and challenging array of cutting-edge product development and early-state production efforts.
