Hoping this will help some that are looking for a new career. ATK High Performance is NOW HIRING a few builders and the Reman company a QA Expert. Feel free to DM with any questions.
*Experienced High Performance Engine Builders*
Located, in DFW, TX (Grand Prairie) ATK High Performance is seeking a couple skilled High-Performance Engine Builders specializing in classic and modern American Muscle. ATK High Performance is one of the largest Performance Engine companies in the US.
Key Responsibilities
Engine Blueprinting & Assembly: Perform end-to-end assembly of high-performance engines to finite tolerances for maximum power and reliability.
Specialized Machining: Cylinder head porting, block clearance/grinding experience a plus, rod honing, etc. We do not do much machining here as we have plants that do this for us to our specs, but knowledge of engine/head machining is a big plus.
Component Analysis: Tear down engines to diagnose wear patterns and root causes of failure, documenting every step in detailed build sheets.
Precision Measurement: Use micrometers, dial bore gauges, and calipers to verify clearances.
Performance Tuning: Operate engine dynamometers (dynos) and use EFI tuning software to validate performance and optimize output. Not necessary, but a plus.
Required Skills & Qualifications
Experience: Must have experience in American Muscle engine building, this is not an entry level position. We are looking for someone who can jump right in after a brief familiarization period with the shop manager.
Tool Proficiency: Expert use of precision measuring equipment and hand tools.
Certifications: ASE certifications (A1, A8, L1) are highly preferred. Specialized training from institutions like SAM Tech is a major plus, but none of this is required.

Soft Skills
Extreme Attention to Detail: Commitment to "zero-defect" assembly and meticulous record-keeping.
