Flex jobs, judged for you, free

What they do

Flex builds products for other companies. Its postings call it the diversified manufacturing partner of choice that helps brands design, build, and deliver products. The work happens in factories: production lines, test stations, and the engineering behind them. Postings say Flex intends to spin off its cloud and power infrastructure segment into a separate listed company in 2027.

What they value

• Making things well at scale, which production engineering exists for.
• Applying anyway. Postings say to apply even if you do not meet every bullet point.
• A respectful, inclusive, and collaborative environment, named in every posting.
• Local language, because Mexican postings appear in Spanish.
• Improving the process, not only running it, which operational excellence covers.

What they look for

Engineering postings name the equipment and the manager you report to. The automation process engineer posting in Guadalajara reports to an equipment maintenance manager and asks you to develop, test, program, and optimise automated lines across mechanical and digital environments to cut cost and improve the process. It also warns that the role will move to the new spun-off company if the separation goes ahead, so the employer may change. Test technician postings in Mexico are written in Spanish. Co-op and internship postings name the term they run in, so they suit students on a fixed academic calendar. Postings encourage candidates who do not meet every requirement to apply, which is stated in the opening paragraph rather than buried at the end.
