  • Fluent in reading and applying blueprints, specifications, and procedures.
  • Meticulous, organized, and effective at detecting nonconformances.
  • Intermediate GD&T fluency.

  • 20/20 vision (corrected or uncorrected) to sort raw/nonconforming material; fine dexterity for small‑to‑medium parts.
  • Work around oils, grease, noise, solvents, dust, metal particles, sparks, coolant, and sharp edges; PPE such as safety glasses, dust masks, ear plugs, and cut‑ or chemical‑resistant gloves, plus engineering controls, may be required.
