Careers

This role aims to enhance our internal engineering capabilities for the commercial kitchen exhaust hood product line. The main focus will be on hood airflow performance, fan system specification, fire suppression integration, and navigating the UL 300A and EN 60335 certification processes.

While the primary responsibilities revolve around hood systems, this position also involves providing support for other priority initiatives. Your expertise in electrical engineering and certification will be utilized in driving our new outdoor electric patio heater project. This presents a unique opportunity for engineers seeking broader product exposure beyond traditional hood manufacturing roles.
