    Our client actually made an offer to a guy I found on the forums. HE fell through though, so I am still looking. Here is the original post:

    I'm actually with a search firm that's conducting a search for Bear Archery. They are looking for a Archery Product Design Engineer; someone who will design bows, and accessories. If anyone wants a detailed job description, please email the address below. Here's a little bit about the opportunity:

    Bear Archery Products is currently seeking new Product Development Engineers – Archery to join their team.

    The Product Development Engineer - Archery needs to be passionate about the sport of archery, as well as detail oriented with the ability to see the big picture - while thinking outside the box; driving business by bringing in fresh products every year. Ability to creatively adapt to constant change in bow design: speed, aesthetics, ergonomics etc. and work to meet demands of a 9-12 month product cycle is critical.


    The Product Development Engineer - Archery will design and develop quality products to ensure Bear Archery continues bringing quality products that perform well above the price and places Bear Archery as the #1 provider of Archery products and accessories.


    The ideal candidate will possess some of the following:

    Also, if you or someone you know is an engineer/designer and does not necessarily design bows, but works with sporting goods items (guns, reels, etc...) really anything with moving parts and are passionate about bows and bowhunting, I would still urge you to PM me. Thanks!

    HCG, my best friend has tons of CAD experience and currently works in the automotive industry... he's looking to get out of that industry BAD -- but he'd like to stay in this area and not move.

    Any possibility of being able to work remotely from home?

    You had me almost convinced till this catching point, if you want to email me an idea of salary potential to [email protected], I might be available for the move.

    Are you looking for long term or just some one to get you up and productive?
