In addition to the role outlined in the position description, my observation
is that a typically successful Mechanical Designer is a non-college graduate
who had enrolled in a Mechanical Engineering program but for some reason has
yet to complete their degree. They've had some experience working within the
Mechanical Design or Manufacturing field in some engineering related role.
Candidates need to be aware that there is not a great deal of
upward-mobility for folks in a Knoll Mechanical Design role. Folks with
Graduate Degrees are very likely not good candidates for our Mechanical
Designer role.
