Here's how we actually work: someone has an idea for a part, we model it, cut it, bolt it on, break it, learn why, and go again. Design → prototype → test → iterate, on a loop, until it's right — then it ships. Our product development team is small, fast, and allergic to bureaucracy. If you've ever been frustrated by how slowly things move where you are now, that's the problem we don't have.

You'd be doing that loop with us — turning ideas into billet driveline parts, turbo housings and manifolds, fuel system components, and downpipes that get manufactured in-house and sold worldwide.

The setup you'd be working in: a 50,000 sq ft air-conditioned facility (yes, in Houston — that matters) packed with state-of-the-art CNC machinery and testing equipment. You design it on Monday, you can have it in your hands later that week. No waiting weeks on an outside vendor to find out your part doesn't fit.

What the work looks like

• Modeling parts and assemblies in 3D CAD (SolidWorks is our main tool).
• Reverse-engineering OEM parts from 3D scans and measurements to nail fitment.
• Making your designs actually manufacturable — proper GD&T, tolerances, and material callouts, designed for the machines down the hall.
• Prototyping, then getting hands-on: bolting it to the car, checking fitment, watching it on the test equipment, and revising.
• Iterating fast on test data and feedback from the build techs.

Who actually fits here

We care more about culture fit than where you finished in your class. We want someone who loves to build and tinker — the kind of person with a project car, a 3D printer, or a garage full of half-finished ideas. If you're genuinely curious about how things work and you move fast, you'll thrive. If you need a rigid process and a six-week design review cycle, you won't.

What you'll need

• Real fluency in parametric CAD (SolidWorks, Fusion 360, CATIA, or Inventor) — show us parts you've designed that got made.
• A working understanding of machining, fabrication, and/or casting — you design for how it'll actually be cut and built.
• Solid mechanical instinct for engines, forced induction, or drivetrains.
• The build-test-iterate mindset, not just clean screenshots.

Bonus points

3D scanning / reverse engineering, FEA or CFD, motorsport or aftermarket background. A degree is welcome but a portfolio and a garage full of evidence count for just as much.

Pay & perks

$65k–$105k depending on what you bring, product-launch bonuses, employee pricing, and no Texas state income tax.

This isn't a service bay, and you're not "just a tech" here. There's no oil-change rotation, no flat-rate grind on customer daily drivers. You'd be building the hardware we engineer in-house — forged engine builds, ZF 8HP transmission rebuilds, turbo and fuel system kits — to spec, measured, and documented. The kind of work where getting a bearing clearance right matters more than how fast you can close a ticket.

And it's not one or two platforms. On any given week you could be elbow-deep in a BMW S58, an AMG M177, a McLaren, a Lamborghini, a Nissan VR30 — whatever's next on the bench. The range is the point: if you want your hands on cars most techs never get to touch, this is where you do it.

Here's what really makes this different from a wrench job: you're part of the core team, and you sit inside the product development loop, not downstream of it. You won't just assemble what the engineers spec — you'll catch the fitment issue, walk it back to the engineers down the hall, and shape how the next version gets designed. On this team, a builder's read on how a part actually goes together carries as much weight as the drawing. You play as big a role in getting a product right as anyone with "engineer" on their badge.

The shop you'd be working in: a 50,000 sq ft air-conditioned facility — so you're not sweating through a Houston summer in a metal box — with state-of-the-art CNC machinery and testing equipment, and the parts you need actually in stock because we make them.

What the work looks like

• Building forged engine builds across platforms (Mercedes M157/M177/M178, BMW B58/S58/S63, plus exotics like McLaren and Lamborghini) — short and long blocks, to spec.
• Building and upgrading ZF 8HP transmissions: clutch packs, billet drums and hubs, torque converters, oil pans.
• Installing and testing turbo kits, downpipes, HPFP/LPFP fuel systems, DI injectors, and harnesses.
• Measuring everything that matters — bearing clearances, ring gaps, end play, torque-to-angle — and logging it.
• Validating prototype fitment for new products and feeding what you find straight back into the design — you're part of how the product gets better, not just the last stop before it ships.

Who actually fits here

The tech who reads build threads for fun. Who's particular — almost annoyingly so — about doing it right, because your name's on it as much as ours. Someone who wants a seat at the table, not just a stall in the corner. We'll take someone who's methodical, clean, and genuinely into these platforms over someone with a longer résumé and a worse attitude. If you love taking things apart to understand them — and then telling us how to build them better — you'll fit.

What you'll need

• 3+ years wrenching with real hands-on engine and/or transmission internal experience.
• Confidence with precision tools — micrometers, bore gauges, dial indicators, torque-to-angle.
• The discipline to follow a build sheet and torque spec exactly, every time.
• Your own hand tools, and comfort across European and exotic turbocharged platforms.
• The instinct to speak up when something's off — not just build to the print, but help make the print better.

Bonus points

Engine machining/blueprinting or pro transmission rebuild experience, forced-induction tuning (E85, flex fuel, datalogging), ASE certs, or specific time on BMW, AMG, McLaren, Lamborghini, VR30, or ZF 8HP.

Pay & perks

$26–$38/hr based on what you can actually do (top of the range for proven builders), production bonus on completed builds, employee pricing, and no Texas state income tax.

This is the role for the operator who can't look at a quiet dealer account without itching to turn it into a top-five one. You're part closer, part connector, part marketer — the person who doesn't wait for the phone to ring, but goes and makes it ring. We build some of the best forged hardware in the game; your mission is to get it into more cars, more shops, and more markets than it's in today.

Half the job is going deeper on what we've already got — turning one-off installers and dealers into real partners who stock our parts, push our kits, and call us first. The other half is the hunt: finding the channels we're not in yet — new platforms, new communities, new regions, marketplaces, group buys, builder and creator collabs — and prying them open.

You'd run all of it out of our 50,000 sq ft Houston facility, close enough to the build team and engineers that when you pitch a kit you know it cold — and you'll feed what you're hearing in the market straight back into what we build and how we sell it. See a platform blowing up? You're the one who says "we should own this," then helps make it happen.

What the work looks like

• Building and deepening dealer & installer (B2B) relationships — turning accounts into partners who stock, recommend, and reorder.
• Hunting new channels: marketplaces, group buys, builder/creator collabs, and new platforms and regions we don't sell into yet.
• Driving sales across inbound and outbound — converting the demand that's already coming in and creating new demand, from ~$800 average orders up into multi-thousand-dollar builds.
• Speccing the right parts for a customer's platform, power goals, and budget — fitment, staging, supporting mods.
• Helping market the product — feeding the content team real customer language, pushing launches, and getting new kits in front of the right communities.
• Managing quotes, backorder waitlists, and follow-ups so no serious buyer or dealer ever slips through.
• Reporting back to the build team on what's selling, what's stalling, and which platforms people keep asking for next.

Who actually fits here

A creative closer. Someone who actually knows cars and actually likes people — and gets a real kick out of building something from nothing, whether that's a new dealer account or a whole new market. You're proactive to a fault, allergic to "that's not my job," and you can hold a real conversation with a shop owner and a first-time buyer spending $5k in the same afternoon. Enthusiasts can smell a fake — and so can dealers.

What you'll need

• 2+ years in sales, business development, or account management (automotive, aftermarket, e-commerce, or high-ticket).
• Genuine working knowledge of performance cars and mods — turbos, fuel, exhaust, drivetrain.
• A hunter's instinct — comfortable with outbound, cold outreach, and opening doors that aren't open yet.
• Sharp written and phone communication, and follow-up that doesn't drop.
• Comfort living in a CRM and turning activity into real pipeline.

Bonus points

Existing dealer/installer relationships or community credibility (BMW, AMG, Supra, Nissan Z/VR30, or McLaren), experience opening new sales channels or marketplaces, running group buys, or working with builders and creators, a marketing streak (you can write a product blurb or brief a content creator and spot a trend before it peaks), high-ticket ($1k–$30k+) technical sales experience, or Spanish.

Pay & perks

$45k–$55k base + uncapped commission (realistic OTE $75k–$95k, with real upside above it when you open channels that stick), employee pricing, and no Texas state income tax.
