Job Description:
The job of Assembly Technician supports two of our portfolio companies within Winn Capital – Behemoth Drivetrain and RAD Designs. At the heart of Winn Capital we are manufacturers – tasked with creating incredible products and delivering high quality assemblies to our customers who demand incredible performance. The role of our assembly technicians is the core of our business and is critical to making sure products are made on time, and meet our customers high quality expectations.
The job has four main responsibilities that you will need to excel at to be successful in this role:
Safety: First and foremost – you need to be a safe operator at all times. We require PPE in the shop at all times, which can include steel toe boots, safety gloves, hearing protection and eye protection. We expect you to be thoughtful and intelligent around our machines and not take risks. If you are a “shoot first ask question later” John Wayne type, if you aren’t smart enough to think about safety day to day, minute to minute while you are in the Behemoth shop, then you are probably not a good fit for our team.
Quality and Detail Oriented: This job will be responsible for assembling the various products we well through Behemoth Drivetrain and RAD Designs. These are extremely expensive, high precision, high quality products. It is important that you can follow instructions and pay attention to the little things that matter creating a quality assembly. If not – this can create a failure that can cause our product to fail while in use in a race car. A product failure can mean that a race car driver going 150 miles an hours can crash if one of your Behemoth parts is made wrong. An incorrect assembly of a RAD Designs transmission shifter can mean that a $200,000 race car cannot shift at the starting line of a race.
Details matter in this job. If you can’t follow detailed instructions, double check your work or understand the greater role you play in the success of our companies and our customers’ goals – you are not a good fit for this position.
Computer Literate: We are in the process of transitioning Behemoth and RAD Designs to an MRP system – which means we have a manufacturing software that we use to schedule our production, to assign Build of Material recipes to products, and manage our inventory for the production process. In this job you will be expected to update our system – MRP Easy – to keep update the production orders you manufacture, and update where they are at in the manufacturing process. If this system is not maintained and updated throughout the manufacturing and assembly process we run out of stock on the components used in production, and it will cause orders to be late or assembled incorrectly. If you don’t feel totally at home using a computer and keeping up with your work digitally, you will be unhappy in this position.
Clean: Our products are precise. Our branding and presentation are well-controlled and specific. Your workstation needs to be the same. We often have customers visit our shop and we need to present a clean, controlled work space environment at all times. A clean workstation is safer, it is more efficient, and it allows us to use the assembly area in social media content that helps build our brands. If you are a hoarder, or aren’t the type that makes your bed first thing in the morning, you may not be a good fit for this position.

Future Opportunities: Both companies supported by this role are growing quickly, which will create opportunities as we grow.
