How has your search been? I've recently completed some applications at Trek and SRAM, still waiting to hear back. You have a good bit more experience. I'm fresh out of my BSME this May.
Being a new grad, I'm trying to line myself up for a useful first job (aerospace or automotive, if not cycling-related) where I can gain a lot of tech experience that can eventually segue into the cycling industry down the road.

I was moving down the same path in 90s. I interned at GT bicycles while I was getting my mechanical engineering degree and had been working as a bicycle mechanic for 9 years. This didnt lead to a position in the company. They were looking for bicycle industry engineering experience. They were not looking to train or retrain anyone. I hope for your sake that the hiring model has changed. Good luck.
