Bennyg Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 That's awesome! Plenty of people in here that would be good for this. Ben Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cool Hand Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 (edited) Some of the knowledgeable members on this forum should apply as they would be a shoe in for the job. Bill (aka Ace-Garageguy) would be a good candidate. Edited January 7, 2015 by Cool Hand Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom Geiger Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 If you reside or will be residing in the Chicago area That knocks out just about everyone! Looks like they don't want to pay a relo package. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Van Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 I'm sure the 'Design Engineer' will require you to be on the expert level of 3-D CAD system of some type. That's why they are having to advertise the position. And....yes...there are folks here that are on that level....but but they are not in Chicago or have very good paying jobs doing that already.....it's a somewhat hot position today. Hope they get someone good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tim boyd Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 (edited) I place in nomination the name of Tim Boyd! Thanks Snake. I already did one assignment for Revell's Marketing and Engineering VP's about a year ago, after that one, not sure if they would even consider me for another one (smile!). Seriously, I retired from the auto industry about 15 months ago and my plan at that point was to stay retired unless something incredibly tempting materialized. Nothing has happened since then that would change that plan... But thanks for the vote anyway! Let's take this as a good sign that Revell deems their business climate healthy enough to add two people - which given the size of their team today as I understand it, is a significant increase. Best regards...TIM PS everyone - if you haven't already, you should read the job descriptions. Gives you a decent idea of the sorts of activities that are required to design, engineer, and bring to market a model car kit. There's a lot more to it than you would think is required....TB Edited January 7, 2015 by tim boyd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ace-Garageguy Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 (edited) Bill (aka Ace-Garageguy) would be a good candidate. Thanks for thinking of me. As critical as I've been of the industry on occasion, I'd really enjoying getting the opportunity to help things. Almost nothing I'd rather do than work for Revell, but I've trapped myself where I am for the foreseeable future. A full-scale machine shop at the house, plus multiple project cars would make moving to Chicago completely out of the question. I moved everything fairly recently, about one mile, and it took months.

As a Design Engineer: Manage projects to achieve critical milestone targets. Create product concept design and exploded view drawings.

Research subject matter to accurately design products. Communicate with manufacturers during tool construction and product qualification. Consult with quality and technical staff during validation of tooling and first production. Key Requirements for the position: Bachelors' degree in Engineering or related field. Experience with injection molded plastic part design and complex assemblies. Previous CAD design experience (ProE Creo preferred). Ability to manage multiple projects at once and meet deadlines. Other desired qualifications: Experience with injection mold tooling and rapid prototyping techniques. Experience in scale modeling industry. Technical Manager Looking for an experienced manager to lead our Technical team. This is a unique opportunity to work with the best model development team in the business. As Technical Manager: Lead and prioritize work for the department and maintain project log Lead testing and evaluation for new products Evaluate development samples for function, appearance and quality vs. intended design Create test summary documentation for engineering and manufacturing department feedback Maintain safety testing records and lead safety qualification via 3rd party testing labs Perform quality reviews of existing products Lead prototype creation with inside and outside resources Create and validate Bill of Material lists for manufacturing Key Requirements for the position: Previous leadership experience Ability to prioritize and organize work Strong written and verbal communication skills Strong Excel and Word skills Ability to read and interpret engineering drawings Strong experience with model building Strong attention to detail Other desired qualifications: Associates of Science in technical field. Familiar with injection mold tooling and molding process Edited January 7, 2015 by Ace-Garageguy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikemodeler Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 I think Harry P. should apply for the technical manager position. Revell is not that far from where he lives now and his keen eye will help get accurate kits to market. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drball Posted January 8, 2015 Share Posted January 8, 2015 I think their climate is healthy and they possibly are going to address the issues discussed on this board with these technical positions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carmak Posted January 8, 2015 Share Posted January 8, 2015 Wow. I just can't move to Chicago (my wife escaped from the Chicago area and does not want to go back). Otherwise I meet every qualification (except the having done scale model design before). I am a design engineer at a medeical instruments company. I design small, high tolerance molded plastic parts, manage multiple projects and conduct verification and validation testing. Just can't move to Chicago Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From what I've heard, these 2 positions are open due to a resignation and a retirement. They're not additions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lownslow Posted January 8, 2015 Share Posted January 8, 2015 I would but i have no interest in staying in the Illinois area for the foreseeable future, plus id have to be forced to hold back on creativity for the sake of "budget" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lordairgtar Posted January 10, 2015 Share Posted January 10, 2015 Don't have the education qualifications. Have most everything else for the second position. I sort of do this in my industry which is wiring harnesses. I'm often lead person on major projects and have to work with the buyers and the clients. my plastic molding experience is not quite enough ( I ran a Van Dorn injection molder making Mary Kay boxes...LOL) I guess I could write "I bild modelz" on my resumé.

Jeff Johnston Posted January 10, 2015 Share Posted January 10, 2015 I'd love to have the technical manager job, as I have all of the requirements other than the familiarity with the injection molding process. Have a good job now doing a similar thing with a household name company, and I would never move. Plus I love where I live. I wonder how being "in the business" would affect someone's enjoyment of the hobby in the same way. Would a person be more excited or less excited to get home and break out the plastic glue ?

JJ Well, I can say from an IT perspective, many tech jocks I know are doing computers after work as well cuz they can't get enough. So I'd say if some one is truly stoked over scale models, they'd do it for a profession and as a hobby. I know some guys who surf professionally and love surfing during there off hours as well.
