Global Manufacturing

"The person who says it can't be done is often interrupted by someone who does it". The team at the RIM Manufacturing Division continues to defy convention every single day.

Dedication, determination and attention to detail are hallmarks of Global Manufacturing organization here at RIM. It is comprised of a number of teams, ultimately responsible for the effective and timely manufacture, assembly, repair and delivery of the company’s products supporting our customers around the world.

"My work at the RIM Manufacturing Division provides me with many opportunities to step up to the plate. I value the hands on experience to pilot new manufacturing test sequences, verify test changes, analyze test system data and make recommendations on improving methods of testing, using industry standard communication test sets.

At RIM, I can feel the excitement of people from different groups coming together to work toward a common goal. I appreciate this culture of commitment and dedication, and it inspires me every day to strive for results. I was nervous that I wasn’t going to be offered a full-time position once I finished my co-op because most of the time everyone wants to stay so there is a lot of competition, but they did offer me a job and I couldn’t be happier."

Noberto Zekkir, Co-op turned full-time employee

"As a new graduate with a first job, I am proud to say I have successfully discovered a career in the wireless industry with RIM. The organization has helped me get a strong grasp of the technology and their Project Management processes so that I can get the job done. I’ve achieved and experienced so much more than I thought I would be able to at the beginning of my career. Wow!"

Anika Jennings, Project Manager, New Grad

"I’ve always been passionate about wireless technology, ever since I got my first mobile phone in high school. When I started in the department at RIM, I had no idea there would be so much more to learn. Ten months later I am deeply involved in BlackBerry smartphone production. (Love my BlackBerry® Curve™ smartphone!) RIM really brings everything to the table with great instructors, a fun atmosphere and an excellent learn and work program. They don’t just teach the necessary technical skills and knowledge, but they – I mean ‘we’ – also put a big emphasis on creativity, teamwork attitude and ethics."
