  • CNC machining experience
  • Experience with Lean Manufacturing and 6S practices

  • On-site health clinic, mental-health services, fitness center, and wellness events
  • 401(k) company match and employer HSA contributions for eligible plans
  • Immediate paid-time-off availability and 10 paid holidays
  • Educational assistance and in-house training
  • Company-paid short- and long-term disability and life insurance
