Job Description

Step into a shop where metal moves fast and quality moves faster. This is a hands-on role for gearheads who live for precision and thrive in the pulse of production.

  • Manage document control and maintain accurate quality records

  • Support machining operations—especially lathe work—in a hands-on capacity

What You Bring

  • 5+ years in manufacturing quality, preferably in automotive or precision machining
  • Bachelor’s degree in Engineering or related field
  • Proven experience with IATF-16949, PPAP, and audit processes
  • Strong machining background with lathe experience (95% of our shop is lathe-based)
  • Passion for working with metals and solving problems on the floor
  • Comfortable getting hands dirty and working closely with production teams

    • Work Setup

  • Split time between office and shop floor
  • Flexible schedule averaging ~50 hours / week
  • Exposure to light oil, moderate noise, and lifting up to 30 lbs

    • Benefits

  • 401(k) with employer match
  • Medical, dental, and vision insurance
  • HSA and FSA options
