MakerBot Industries is looking for a talented, motivated individual to grab our warehouse by the horns and kick butt shipping MakerBots to the most innovative people around the world. If your childhood dream is to run a gigantic factory, then look no further. MakerBot Industries is a scrappy startup based in Brooklyn (3rd ave and Bergen) and we need someone to help us keep up with orders. What we do is make and sell the future. To be more specific, we make and sell open source 3D printers as well as all the accessories and supplies and things that make them go. If you would like to learn more about MakerBot, visit our website at http://www.makerbot.com
Your job is helping us build MakerBot kits, which consists of putting parts in bags. Once the kits are made, we need you to fulfill the orders by placing the finished kits into boxes and then shipping them all over there world. It is hands-on work and the type of work that makes you feel like you’ve accomplished something at the end of each day. You will also get to experience the joys of intern wrangling and customer support (basically shipping out the occasional missing part, nothing technical). The physical work required is pretty minimal. Our main kit weights about 25lbs and there are some occasional heavy boxes, so you need to lift up to 50 pounds.
You’ll have the opportunity to play with some cutting edge technology, including 3D printers, laser cutters, and PCB fabrication. The pay is $15/hour and we have about 30 hours / week of work right now. This job has huge potential for growth as our goal and dream is to kick-start the desktop manufacturing revolution and put a MakerBot on every desk in the world. This means we have many scaling challenges ahead of us in production, warehousing, shipping, etc. If you have a desire to be a rockstar in those areas, we would love to have you on our team.
To apply for the job, please send an email to hiring@makerbot.com. Include a resume, cover letter, and 3 references.
