• Project Management and planning.
• Design and Testing of prototypes.

Work Environment

100% on-site at the Tukwila location, office setting. Drug-free working environment. Combination of usual office conditions and manufacturing environment. Some elements in the production area may be present which make conditions less desirable than usually found in an office setting. Employee may occasionally experience exposure to elements such as odor, dust, heat, cold, or chemicals. The production area is a chemical working area; food is not allowed.
