- Drive continuous improvement in machining processes, cycle times, and tooling life \n
- Contribute to quoting and estimating processes for new projects \n
- Occasionally assist on the shop floor to troubleshoot or validate new programs \n
✅ Qualifications\n

- Experience machining exotic materials (Titanium, Inconel, Stainless, etc.) \n
- Strong problem-solving skills and attention to detail \n
