• Participate in monthly Lean Kaizen events to drive continuous improvement across the production line
• Partner with engineering and operations teams to ensure your work supports broader site goals

• Basic project management skills
• Willing to work B shift (3:30pm-2:00am)
• A formal education and Bachelor's or Master's degree in engineering is nice to have, but we're most interested in your total experience and professional achievements — your CNC programming background is what matters most here.
