  • Review repeat products and help update processes, tooling, or instructions as needed.
  • Serve as a technical resource between Engineering, Sales, Operations, vendors, and the shop floor.
  • Create and communicate clear work instructions and processing requirements.
  • Support tooling construction, modification, repair, and sample processing.
  • Conduct shop floor audits to help ensure process compliance, quality, and efficiency.
  • Assist with tooling cost justification, customer design change requests, and deviation requests.
  • Work with vendors on tooling design, pricing, and manufacturing requirements.
Requirements:

What We’re Looking For

  • Associate degree in engineering technology, manufacturing technology, industrial technology, mechanical design, materials technology, or a related technical field required.
  • Experience in foundry, casting, machining, tooling, or metal manufacturing preferred.
  • Ability to read and interpret drawings, specifications, routings, bills of material, and technical documents.
  • Strong mechanical aptitude and practical problem-solving skills.
  • Ability to balance quality, cost, delivery, and manufacturability.
  • Strong communication skills and the ability to work effectively with both technical and shop floor teams.
  • Detail-oriented, organized, and comfortable working in a manufacturing environment.

This is a great opportunity to build your technical career while making a direct impact on product quality, manufacturing efficiency, and customer success.
