- Solid machining math: calculate SFM, feeds, and RPMs for different materials.
- Hands-on with precision tools: micrometers, calipers, indicators, and edge finders.
- Independent problem-solver with pride in workmanship and awareness of team impact.
- Education: High School Diploma or GED preferred.
- Stand frequently and lift up to 30 lbs occasionally in a fast-paced manufacturing setting.
