This annual celebration at Flexware acknowledges the large engineering team that makes up the company’s workforce. Learn more about National Engineers Week: discovere.org/engage/engineers-week.
Flexware is a manufacturing technology integrator and employs software, electrical, mechanical, and manufacturing engineers, among others. “We look forward to this every year and include executive leadership, our central ops team, HR, marketing, and engineering in our planning,” said Matt Heiden, Director of People Operations. Heiden explained that Will Nichols, a longtime Flexware engineer, was the catalyst for what has become a Flexware tradition.
Activities will engage Flexware employees, customers, and partners. Additional activities will inspire the next generation of engineers and encourage underrepresented groups to pursue engineering as a profession. And for the first time, the company welcomes the engineers of Castle Hill Technologies, a recent Flexware acquisition. Castle Hill is based in Garner, NC and was founded in 1999.
