Design Engineer

Are you ready for a challenging career where you can be yourself AND make a difference? Come work for a company that's not quite like all the rest. Winston Industries is looking for a Design Engineer.

Winston is a hometown Louisville business that's been here for over 50 years. And no, we don't make cigarettes. We are a leader in foodservice technology. Our success is built on caring for people - our customers, partners, and team members. We're looking for the right person to help us grow.

What will I really be doing?

You’ll be a master of multitasking. This involves lots of data analysis and a talent for troubleshooting. You know the devil is in the details, and you’re a stickler for documenting all the minutiae that comes with validation testing. You’ll drive modifications throughout the life cycle of existing products. You’re comfortable with collaboration, and working across departments to get things done. In particular, you’ll team up with our manufacturing division to identify and resolve the root causes of manufacturing and quality-related problems with existing products.

What kind of experience is required?

You need at least a bachelor's degree in engineering or a related technical field, and at least two years of professional experience. A fundamental understanding of electrical, mechanical, and process engineering is important. And you have a track record of getting things done and done right.

Are there any other necessary qualities?

Naturally, we're looking for the qualities that make anyone a good team member. You’re comfortable working alone and as a team. You enjoy challenging yourself to meet or exceed goals. You’re a good communicator, both verbally and in writing. And you put customers first (both external and internal).

We’re a bit unconventional, so a good sense of humor is a definite plus.
