• You’re mechanically minded and naturally figure things out


• You care about fit, finish, and quality—not just getting it done fast


• You enjoy variety and problem-solving instead of repetitive assembly work


• You work well with a team but can also own your portion of the build independently


• You take pride in craftsmanship

What You Bring

• Minimum 2 years of experience in mechanical assembly or related hands-on production work


• Strong mechanical aptitude and understanding of assembly processes

• Ability to read and interpret technical diagrams, manuals, and build specifications


• Strong attention to detail and commitment to quality workmanship


• Ability to troubleshoot and solve assembly or fitment issues


• Team-oriented mindset with strong communication and collaboration skills


• Physical ability to lift, bend, kneel, and stand throughout the workday

• Automotive assembly or fabrication experience
