Purpose

As a Recruiter, you’ll be a force multiplier across the organization—owning full-cycle recruitment for high-impact roles spanning engineering, manufacturing, operations, and business functions. You’ll partner directly with hiring managers and leadership to drive proactive hiring strategies and ensure we continue to attract and close top-tier talent across all domains.

This role requires someone who thrives in a fast-paced, high-expectation environment and knows how to balance high-volume tactical execution with strategic hiring advisory.

The Role

Own full-cycle recruiting for a wide range of roles—from mechanical, software, and robotics engineers to finance, supply chain, program management, and operations positions
Partner closely with hiring managers to define roles, craft job descriptions, and align on recruiting strategies
Source and engage high-caliber candidates across active and passive channels, leveraging tools like LinkedIn Recruiter, referrals, and your network
Run structured, high-integrity interview processes that assess for both skill and team fit
Deliver a high-touch, white-glove candidate experience from first outreach to close
Work cross-functionally with People Ops, IT, and hiring teams to improve tools, workflows, and reporting
Track and report recruiting metrics and hiring outcomes to inform continuous improvement
Support employer brand initiatives including events, online presence, and employee referrals

Basic Qualifications

3+ years of recruiting experience, including both technical (engineering, software, manufacturing) and non-technical (G&A, operations) roles
Experience recruiting in aerospace, defense, or advanced manufacturing environments, with an understanding of the unique hiring requirements for those industries
Experience operating in a high-growth, high-performance, or startup environment where talent quality is non-negotiable
Proven ability to run multiple searches in parallel and maintain exceptional candidate and stakeholder communication
Strong sourcing and closing skills, especially with passive talent
Data-driven mindset with experience using ATS platforms (e.g., Greenhouse) and sourcing tools (e.g., LinkedIn Recruiter)
Excellent written and verbal communication skills, professionalism, and sound judgment
Bias for action—you move quickly, stay organized, and deliver without constant direction

A strong personal network across engineering, manufacturing, or operations communities
