Here’s a little bit about us:

Cascade Dafo is a manufacturing company that specializes in making ankle foot orthosis (AFO’s) for children with mobility challenges. We are proud to report our braces are the best in the industry; we are PROUDER to share that the reason we are the best is because of our team members. Cascade Dafo is a dedicated, caring, hardworking team of people that create, customize, and care for our patients from the moment an order arrives at our facility to long after our braces have been fit on a patient. We know our team members make us successful; therefore, we do our best to show our appreciation to them. Our benefit package includes:

• Competitive Wages: Our starting wage is $19.50/hour. We provide opportunities for growth by inviting our team members to apply to learn more jobs within our production departments. The more jobs you learn; the higher wage you can earn. We provide career path options and support you on your journey.
• Profit Sharing: Cascade team members are awarded profit sharing bonuses each quarter. By sharing in the profits, our team members feel a sense of ownership; they reap the benefits of their hard work. In 2025, profit sharing added an average of $1.80-$2.20 more per hour to our new team member’s compensation.
• Healthcare Benefits: We provide medical, dental, and vision insurance to our full-time team members. We offer a QHDHP with employer HSA contribution or a traditional PPO plan; with two different medical plans to choose from, our team members find a plan that best fits their needs. Because healthcare is so important, Cascade will share the cost of your family’s medical benefits with you.
• Time Off: We believe our teams need time off to spend with friends and family; we know team member engagement requires time off to refresh yourself. From your first day of work you’ll be earning PTO. PTO hours earned increase with seniority. Our holidays schedule allows for rest time as well; we have a minimum of 10 paid holidays allowing you to relax and make memories with your friends and family.
• 401(k): Cascade offers a traditional and a ROTH 401k plan to you after 90 days of employment. We fund a company match (up to 4%) per payroll and a 401(k) end of year profit sharing contribution.
• Additional Benefits: We provide our team members with short/long term disability and life insurance.
• Work Balance: We are very supportive of your life away from Cascade. Our schedules are posted early so you never have to wonder what time you’ll be off work.
• A Great Atmosphere: When you join our team, you’ll find yourself in a caring, fun atmosphere. Our leadership is here to support and guide you; we want you to feel welcome, acknowledged, and appreciated. As for fun, we may spontaneously host a pancake breakfast or holiday themed party. We also love to celebrate birthdays and honor our team members’ service to the company, both with cash prizes!

We will reach out to qualified applicants to scheduled interviews. What is involved with an interview at Cascade Dafo? We want you to feel comfortable and ready when you meet us.
