  • Experience with 3D modeling/viewing software such as SolidWorks or eDrawings
  • Previous aftermarket, off-road, fabrication, or vehicle accessory installation experience
Why Join Horsepower Automotive Group?

  • Work on new and exciting vehicles instead of routine repair work
  • Get hands-on with prototype products before they're released to the public
  • Help influence new product development by identifying fitment and manufacturing improvements
  • Work in a clean, organized specialty shop with quality equipment
  • Build experience with 3D scanning, product development, and prototype testing
  • See your work make it to market across leading off-road and overlanding brands
