The three new analysts are responsible for a broad range of duties, and will communicate with various departments companywide. They will work on a variety of projects including: conducting market research; researching utility rebate program opportunities; implementing consumer studies; developing new product concepts; identifying business growth segments; and creating corporate presentations and online programs.
Joining MaxLite as part of its intern program, Peter Harb and Tony Issa secured full time positions upon graduation from New Jersey Institute of Technology (NJIT) and Rutgers University respectively. Harb now serves as a quality assurance engineer, working with the engineering team to develop and test new products based on customer need and feedback. Issa is involved with special projects as well as exports, utilizing his ability to speak multiple languages.
“Over the next five to 10 years, LEDs will grow to represent more than 70 percent of lighting sales,” continued Mr. Rhee. “Within this context, MaxLite is anticipating strong growth and we are hoping that these top-tier college graduates will guide the company through the evolving lighting marketplace.”
MaxLite is currently creating new job opportunities and recruiting college students and recent graduates for other positions.
