  • Participate in team meetings and improvement programs; support training of personnel (as directed).
  • Follow all safety, quality, housekeeping, and company policies / procedures ; maintain a clean, secure, well‑organized workspace.
  • Communicate effectively at all organizational levels; keep management informed; complete special projects and related duties as assigned.
  • Qualifications

  • High school diploma / GED or vocational / technical school equivalent.
  • Solid math skills; proficient with shop documentation (blueprints, ECNs, operation / tooling sheets, routers, etc.).
  • Working knowledge of GD&T, inspection methods, metrology tools, SPC, performance metrics, and root‑cause analysis.
  • Self‑starter who can plan, organize, and multi‑task; strong written and verbal communication.
  • Proven ability to run equipment efficiently, safely, and consistently.
  • Must be a U.S. Citizen.
  • Work environment

  • Manufacturing / machine shop exposure : fluids, fumes or airborne particles, moving mechanical parts, noise, and vibration.
  • Work in both office and shop spaces; use standard office equipment and required PPE (eye, hearing, and foot protection).
  • Temperature may be influenced by weather and machining processes.
  • Full‑time; overtime and some weekends may be required.
  • No travel expected.
  • Physical demands

  • Talk and hear regularly; frequent reaching and handling.
  • Vision requirements include close, distance, peripheral, depth perception, and focus adjustment.
