Jobs Landed

Most of my work is creating 3D models and preparing parts for the injection-molding process.  I also have a hand in the mechanical design of future generations of Smart Grid Sensors. The best thing about this job is the exposure to real-life engineering applications and manufacturing processes that I do not receive hands-on experience with in the classroom.  I am present for all steps in the engineering process. From beginning a concept with a single idea, and collaborating with a team of engineers to come to a sensible and cost-effective solution---to consulting a company to view their recommended product for our application (whether it be adhesives, or electrical connectors, etc)---and finally holding the finished product in my hand, knowing that I was part of the team that made it all happen.  The lead engineers here do their best to pass their knowledge on to me.
 
I grew up here, I love it.  I think that Midwestern families in the United States have great values, and grow up learning to work hard and be successful.   There are so many opportunities in the Cincinnati, Dayton, and Columbus areas, especially for Engineers.  The field is still growing every year, despite the growing unemployment rates.  Wright-Patt AFB is the leading research base in the country...yet another reason for any Engineer or Scientist to work here. I live in Fairborn, and am within walking distance of school, work, and Wright-Patt AFB. 

Angstron is one of the world's leading producers of graphine.  We produce and do experiments with the material.  I do testing on the materials and evaluate their performance.  I also explore applications for the materials. I really like the research aspect of this job, trying new things, learning, being able to apply new knowledge to improve our products.  I live in Fairborn and feel comfortable here because of living here while at WSU and completing my degrees.  I'm originally from Greenville, Ohio and I also liked the opportunity to stay close to family.

Angstron is the first advanced materials company to offer large quantities of ultra-thin, pristine nano-graphene platelets (NGPs). And we also apply this magic material in Li-ion battery and graphene based supercapacitors.  WE help companies engineer graphene solutions with mechanical, electrical and conductive performance advantages.   We help select the optimal materials and introduce graphene into their manufacturing process. My job is to produce graphene, evaluate raw materials and optimize reactive conditions.  I also conduct many tests and analysis in order to develop new materials and products used in the fields of battery and energy storage.

I like working with technologies that are previously not explored.  I am exposed to a wide variety of experiences that are valuable for personal and professional growth, which has helped my research objectives.  Ohio is a very peaceful state.  In Dayton we have a lot of good companies and research institutes. The opportunities for networking and professional development are exciting.  The Air Force base here n Dayton and UDRI make me feel like there are many cultural opportunities in this community.  I live near the University of Dayton and there are a lot of things to do around the college campus. 

I report on, analyze and forecast the company's results and convey them to leadership and external investors.

SparkBase is a stored-value gift card and loyalty program provider.As a software as a service (SaaS) provider, the SparkBase platform instantly gives even the smallest merchant sophisticated gift card and loyalty programs typically found only at the largest retailers. By using the SparkBase network to power gift card and loyalty programs, financial services resellers and loyalty marketing agencies can provide a greater value to their merchants in this hyper-competitive environment. I have full accountability for the strategic direction and execution of the SparkBase sales efforts.

SparkBase is a hyper growth company; we are young and we are aggressive. Every day is a new challenge, we think quickly and move fast. I enjoy working with my colleagues, we are all moving in the same direction, everyone is focused on the same goal and our team is passionate. It is great to be surrounded by strong and successful people.

We recently participated in Movember. The Mo, slang for moustache, and November come together each year for Movember. Our entire staff of male employees grew mustaches in November.Movember challenges men to change their appearance and the face of men's health by growing a moustache. The rules are simple, start Movember 1st clean-shaven and then grow a moustache for the entire month. The moustache becomes the ribbon for men's health, the means by which awareness and funds are raised for cancers that affect men. Much like the commitment to run or walk for charity, the men of Movember commit to growing a moustache for 30 days.We laughed a lot and had a great time raising money for a terrific cause! We raised over $2,000.

I am an Ohio native. Ohio is a great place to work and live, each suburb has its very own flavor. We have terrific restaurants, museums, and theaters, Lake Erie and not to mention championship golf courses. From a business standpoint, Ohio has many young and thriving entrepreneurial businesses. Ohio will continue to add new jobs and this is exciting for everyone. Medina is great community; we have championship golf courses, we are the home of A.I. Root and the Root Candle Co. and our Main Street is lined with restaurants and shops; promoting rich traditions of community. Media Square always hosts fantastic events for the entire family and has a great festive feel regardless of the season10. Colleges/Universities you attended and city and state of each

I work in a class 100 clean room and conduct testing for Innova.  We do R&D for laser applications for commercial and military industries - research on diode-pumping lasers.  I like working with state-of-the-art laser technology. 

I like the seasonal changes in Ohio that you don't really get to experience in other states; also the sports environment in Ohio is something I look forward to. I like living in Deer Creek because of the convenience.  It's easy to get on any highway and I can travel around the city pretty easily.  I'm right down the street from Kenwood Mall and around the corner from a hockey place I play hockey at regularly.

My job is to write about the "cool jobs" people have found right here in Ohio, and since I was born and grew up here, I love doing that.  As the news editor for the  new "Jobs Landed," and "Jobs Available," sections of hiVelocity, I can't wait to tell your story! So shoot me an e-mail  at [email protected] and tell me why you love the new Ohio job you landed.  I'm waiting to make you famous!  

My varied experience includes a long-standing career in ballroom dance and many years in sales.  My new job as project manager allows me to use these creative and people skills to get things done for our clients.  My job is to listen to the client, hear their needs and move projects along quickly, anticipating customers' needs and coming in ahead of deadlines. One of the benefits of working for Workflow Data Systems is making technology approachable for people. My approach is very hands on, and at any given moment, I am able to tell a client where a project is and how soon it will be finished.

I am in charge of managing all of our online activity, as well as managing any activity on emerging platforms. Right now, that means working on a redesign of the WOSU website, working on a strategy for the launch of our new classical music service and developing plans for a new online news site. I also manage our organization's presence on social media sites like Facebook and Twitter.

My work at TeamDynamix involves designing, extending, and maintaining components of a web-based portfolio and project management (PPM) solution, as well as engaging in development work on related sites and desktop applications.  In many regards, it is similar to the work I would be doing as a full-time employee. My favorite part of my position is working with previously-unexplored technologies and determining how they can best be applied toward our business objectives.  My internship started through the NEWPATH program at Ohio State for those interested in IT entrepreneurship.  The NEWPATH program works with TechColumbus to find internships for students at TechColumbus-affiliated companies.  As an Ohio State student, I have been exposed to a wide variety of experiences and opportunities which have been invaluable for my personal and professional growth.  In addition, I enjoy the many different cultural offerings available in the  Columbus area.

I maintain the Freestore Foodband Internet and intranet, as well as design features that will enhance the digital initiatives for the Freestore organization.
