Sparkies can apply. However, this position will require mechanical aptitude. A well-rounded, systems-thinking experienced FIRSTer would fill this position well.

We are looking to fill this position during the next 1-2 months, depending on how long the process takes. However, since we are a growing company, I am sure that we will have other positions open in the future.
