  • Collaborate with Materials, Quality, and Test Engineering departments to resolve production challenges.
  • Monitor assembly quality and performance, ensuring products meet specifications and standards.

  • Associate degree in a technical or manufacturing discipline preferred.
  • Strong interpersonal and communication skills; able to work collaboratively across departments.
