• A mindset focused on continuous improvement and proactive problem-solving.
• Strong mechanical inspection skills; proficient in using precision tools such as calipers, micrometers, thread gauges, and CMMs.
• Ability to read and interpret mechanical drawings; familiarity with GD&T is a strong advantage.

• A keen attention to detail, with the ability to prioritize and act with ownership.
• A collaborative approach and the ability to build positive relationships across teams to push quality upstream.
