• Strong attention to detail and commitment to quality, accuracy, productivity, and safe work practices.
• Ability to communicate clearly and work effectively with supervisors, engineers, quality personnel, materials personnel, and other production employees.
• Ability to learn new products, subassembly methods, tools, equipment, and production requirements and work with increasing independence as proficiency develops.
• Ability to work in an active manufacturing environment and follow applicable safety and PPE requirements; additional hours, weekend work, or travel to customer sites may be required based on business needs.
• Preferred: previous manufacturing, subassembly, mechanical assembly, electrical assembly, fabrication, or related production experience.
