• Modify, repair, and maintain production tooling and equipment as required.
• Work with production, engineering, and operations personnel to clarify requirements and improve manufacturability.

• Strong sense of organization and priority management in a small team environment.
• Ability to lead by example, communicate clearly, and maintain a positive, respectful work climate.
• Ability to machine common materials such as mild steel, stainless steel, aluminum, brass, and industrial plastics.
