Job description

Chesapeake Light Craft is searching for a bright, energetic, small-boat enthusiast to join our Design team. We’re looking for applicants who have a deep background in sailing, rowing, and paddling.

You'll be required to obtain a deep understanding of our design catalog, and to bring new and exciting ideas to market.
