• Vehicle upfitting or modification
• Automotive trade schools
• EV or autonomous vehicle environments
• Aerospace or aviation technician/assembly backgrounds
• Military vehicle or aviation maintenance

Love working on project cars, computers, electronics, or other hands-on technical projects? We want to hear about that too.
