  • Work takes place in a manufacturing environment that may include high temperatures, frequent walking, bending, standing, and handling of metal parts.
  • Must be able to stand for extended periods and occasionally lift up to 40 pounds.

Qualifications

  • Strong math skills and basic computer proficiency.
  • High attention to detail with the ability to make sound quality decisions.
  • Ability to work independently, stay organized, and manage multiple priorities.

  • Experience operating a Rockwell hardness tester or similar inspection equipment.
  • Familiarity with basic sanding, cut-off, grinding, or sample preparation equipment.
