Manufacturing Test Engineer, II

Want to work at a tech company where your contribution saves lives? Are you looking for a work-life balance, and the opportunity to work with smart people?

Meteorcomm is a growing global telecommunications company that provides data solutions for the railroad industry. We're not a start-up, and not a Fortune 500 company.

Basically, we offer the best of both worlds! Our team is friendly, and there's lots of longevity (we invest in our employees).

Hey, you can even bring your dog to work. Also, we don't want you to spend your life in the car, so we are a great commute from downtown or anywhere south of Bellevue or north of Tacoma.

If this sounds interesting to you, then let's talk.
