Design and manufacturing of magnetic assemblies, circuits, and components for medical, aerospace, and defense
Dexter Magnetic Technologies manufactures custom magnetic solutions—permanent magnets, electromagnetic assemblies, and soft magnetic components—for medical devices, aerospace, and defense applications. The hiring mix is heavily weighted toward manufacturing and engineering roles, with active projects centered on process capability, new-product introduction workflows, and lean manufacturing initiatives. Cost reduction and cycle-time improvement dominate the pain-point list, suggesting operational scaling pressure as the company builds out European engineering capacity.
