Requirements and Qualifications:

• Strong blueprint reading and GD&T interpretation skills
• Skilled use of precision measuring tools and inspection equipment
• Strong attention to detail and commitment to quality workmanship
• Reliable, punctual, and able to work safely in a shop environment
• Preferred: experience with CAM software (Mastercam, Fusion 360), multi-axis mills/CNC lathes with live tooling, and familiarity with ISO/AS9100 or similar quality systems
