The overall mission of Tanner Tees is to support, enhance, and celebrate every baseball and softball player’s journey.  The Product Developer/Engineer ties into this mission by developing new products related to baseball and softball through research, design, modeling, and prototyping.  You will work with suppliers to bring the products into existence.  Focusing on the quality and longevity of Tanner Tees products and their components will be a key factor for this role.  You will be expected to create functional quality tests and, based on those results, recommend component redesign.
