  • Familiarity with robotics-assisted or software-controlled production lines is a plus.
  • Ability to read work instructions, visual diagrams, and digital work orders.
  • Comfortable using computers, tablets, and MES/ERP systems.
  • Basic understanding of mechanical, electrical, or robotic systems is helpful but not required.
  • Strong attention to detail and commitment to producing high-quality work.
  • Ability to follow multi-step procedures accurately and consistently.
  • Good communication skills and willingness to collaborate in a fast-paced environment.
  • Ability to recognize abnormal machine behavior and report issues promptly.
  • Comfortable standing, lifting, and performing repetitive/precision tasks.
