  • Support CMFG with release documentation

Qualifications:

  • Bachelor’s degree in Industrial Design, Materials Engineering, Color Science, or related field.
  • 3+ years in color development, material specification, or color quality control (automotive, powersports, consumer products preferred).
  • Strong eye for color, finish, texture able to evaluate under various lighting conditions.
  • Experience working with paints, plastics, decals, and soft goods from a visual quality perspective.
  • Familiar with color matching processes, master panel development, and manufacturing tolerances.
  • Excellent communication and documentation skills; comfortable leading reviews and negotiations with suppliers.
  • Familiarity with visual evaluation tools (light booths, gloss meters, spectrophotometers a plus).

What Success Looks Like:

  • Zero color-related delays at production launch
  • High alignment between design intent and final product
  • Clear, maintained color standards library accessible across teams
  • Trusted liaison between design, engineering, quality, and manufacturing
