About the role

For over 100 years, we've manufactured high-quality products right here in the USA. We still operate out of our Oregon-based factory to this day, producing innovative, battle-proven optics for the world's most relentless hunters, shooters, law enforcement officers, and military personnel. Regardless of the product, whether it's a red dot or a riflescope, we design and manufacture it with one goal in mind—to ensure it performs for life. At Leupold and Stevens we're American to the Core and passionate about what we do. Product excellence and uncompromising quality are our top priorities. We've built a collaborative, high performance culture where team players with innovative ideas and a sense of urgency thrive.
