  • 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

  • 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
