- Flow 6' x 12' Three-Axis Dual Head Water Jet
- Ingersoll-Rand 72" x 192" Water Jet Table
Capable of cutting materials from 1/16" up to 10"+ thick with tolerances typically between ± .010"–.015", depending on material and part requirements.
What’s in It for You
- Join a team that takes pride in precision and quality workmanship

Administrative Sales Support
My name is Kacie and I have been with Opti for a fun and eventful three months! I recently decided to make a career move after working with kids over the last ten years and I couldn’t be happier that I chose to start that adventure here. I grew up in Southeast Alaska and moved to Oregon in 2013. I love it here because I can be surrounded by nature all the time and the ocean is only a short drive away. I enjoy traveling and spending time with my partner and our chinchilla. They are the highlights of my life, and we spend most of our time together outside of work. Being at Opti has opened so many doors for me and I’m so excited to see what comes next. I have learned so much so quickly and gained beautiful friendships along the way too. I had never worked for a company that celebrated their employees the way that we do here, until now, and I can’t imagine working anywhere else!
