ABOUT VYPER:

Vyper Industrial is ranked the second quickest growing company on the Inc. 5000! Founded in 2020 by Dayne and Dylan Rusch out of Dayne’s 400 sq. ft. apartment, Vyper was born from the desire to solve the problems caused by low-quality, overseas-manufactured garage products. Growing up, the brothers spent time working with their father in the garage, where they saw firsthand the challenges of using cheap, unsafe tools. This inspired them to create a company that would bring high-quality, American-made garage products to the market.

With a deep passion for American manufacturing, Vyper was founded with a clear mission: to produce durable, reliable products and create American jobs. Since its inception, the company has experienced explosive growth, increasing by 110% year over year. Our goal is clear: market domination, driven by a strong commitment to

excellence. If you’re ready to be part of a team that doesn’t settle for anything less than the best, welcome to Vyper.

• Stay current with industry trends, technologies, and design tools to continuously improve processes and reduce costs

WE EXPECT YOU TO HAVE:

• 3–5 years of relevant industry experience
• Proficient in SolidWorks: model configurations, blocks, sheet metal design, assemblies, drawings, and document templates
• Strong organizational skills with attention to detail and full ownership of assignments
• Growth mindset essential for success in a fast-paced, evolving environment
