Are You Ready?
You’re the type of person who thrives on taking care of things the right way, the first time. When a task comes in, you figure out how to get it done by asking the right questions and digging to find the answers. When you say, “I’ll take care of it,” we know it’ll be done well. You get excited when you know you’ve made someone else’s day easier. You have an engineering background and an interest in business.
You have drive and perseverance, which you believe are more important than years of experience (most of our Engineering Managers grew their career to that point by the time they were thirty!).
