Olin College of Engineering seeks employees who are passionate about working collaboratively within and outside of the Olin community to support the College's mission and vision for the future.

At Olin, we are educating the next generation of engineering innovators and shifting the definition of engineering.

Not only do our students ask, "Who are we designing this for, and what are their values?" They also ask questions about the impact of their work on society.

As Olin evolves under the leadership of our president, Dr.

Gilda Barabino, we seek to become a more diverse and aware community, a place where _everyone is a learner_ and where _everyone is an educator_.

Olin will become a place where experimentation—including making and learning from mistakes—will be embraced across the institution, not just in the classro
