I recruit for Hayes Bicycle Group. Any good suggestions on how to
find a Wheel Engineer? The position would be located in near
Milwaukee, WI.

What do you visualize when you refer to a "Bicycle Wheel Engineer"?
Not having seen any mention of bicycle wheels in engineering school or
meeting any engineers who gave the wire spoked wheel any technical
consideration, I think it will be hard to fill that bill.

Another indication is that no engineering analysis of bicycle wheels
was published for the first 100 or more years of the bicycle industry.
