Discovery Channel Seeks America’s Top Engineers

By DE Editors

Cable network The Discovery Channel has put out a call for America’s most creative and daring techies, machinists, inventors and engineers to design, build, and “blast their way to a Grand Prize” on a new competitive TV show called Top Engineer.

A handful of men and women will be chosen to take on challenges from various engineering fields at the state-of-the-art WET Design facilities in California. Contestants don’t need to have an engineering degree, but must be able to “design,  build, test and integrate an idea into a final product that works.”

According to the producers, the show is looking for visual effects experts, accomplished home shop machinists, contractors and engineers with backgrounds in electrical, civil, structural or mechanical engineering.

To apply, e-mail [email protected] with your name, age,  location, phone number, a recent photo and a brief explanation of why you should be selected. Deadline is March 7, 2012, and applicants must be U.S. citizens or residents at least 21 years of age.
