2027 Engineering Leadership Development Program

About the Program

The Engineering Leadership Development Program (ELDP) immerses high-potential recent graduates in three 12-month assignments within various engineering functions at Genie. Rotations include Manufacturing Engineer, Design Engineer – Sustaining Engineering, and Design Engineer – New Product Development or Robotics. Rotations are located at our headquarters in Bothell, WA, manufacturing site in Moses Lake, and R&D Center in Redmond, WA.

The three cross-functional assignments provide a fundamental understanding of engineering at Genie by introducing participants to enacting change and improvements on the shop floor and in designing products. Development activities include exposure to new technologies, intensive coaching, and group mentoring from product management and engineering team members.

The ELDP is open to candidates who have an upcoming graduation in 2027 or have graduated within the last two years. All candidates must be committed to completing all three years of the program and should expect to relocate for each rotation. The first rotations start on June 21st, 2027.
