  • Inspect finished parts to verify dimensional accuracy and quality requirements
  • Identify nonconforming parts and communicate issues to the Fabrication Supervisor or Team Leader to support timely resolution
  • Perform basic secondary operations such as tapping, countersinking, and counterboring
  • Clean and deburr finished parts to meet quality and safety standards
  • Provide hands-on support for troubleshooting fabrication and machining processes
  • Develop and maintain process documentation, work instructions, and standard work
  • Support continuous improvement projects to reduce cycle time, reduce scrap, and increase throughput
  • Participate in design‑for‑manufacturability reviews with engineering
  • Perform routine machine maintenance and required preventative maintenance tasks
  • Follow all safety procedures, good manufacturing practices, and ergonomic guidelines
  • Maintain a clean, organized, and safe work area
  • Collaborate effectively with fabrication, engineering, and quality team members
  • Contribute ideas to improve processes, reduce rework, and increase efficiency
  • Adapt to changing priorities in a fast-paced manufacturing environment.

Requirements:

  • Minimum 1 year of experience operating water jet and/or laser cutting equipment
  • Ability to read and interpret mechanical drawings and specifications
  • Strong attention to detail with a focus on producing accurate parts with minimal rework
  • Ability to work independently while following established instructions and procedures
  • Positive attitude and strong teamwork skills
  • Manual dexterity and ability to lift up to 50 lbs.

Nice to have:

  • Experience working from SolidWorks-generated drawings
  • Exposure to fabrication environments supporting high-mix, low-volume production
  • Prior involvement in continuous improvement initiatives.
