The tool room is clean, organized, and climate‑controlled. The environment reflects the standard the team holds itself to.

• Apply hands‑on judgment for legacy tooling that has no existing prints
• Use precision measurement instruments including micrometers, calipers, dial indicators, and height gauges
• Support tooling setup, alignment, and adjustments to maintain product quality and dimensions
• Assist production teams during changeovers, setups, and startups as needed
• Maintain tooling inventory and keep accurate records of repairs and modifications
• Follow all safety, quality, and housekeeping standards
