What You'll Do

• Building products with your hands completing manual assembly work with skill, accuracy, and pride in the finished product
• Following the process, then improving it reading and applying standard operating procedures and work instructions to keep quality and consistency high
• Keeping the paperwork tight documenting your work accurately, because good records are what keep medical devices safe and IDE audit ready
• Showing up for the small stuff keeping your work area clean and professional, pitching in on the tasks that keep the floor running smoothly, and taking pride in the details.
• Communicating like a pro reporting progress, flagging issues early, and building trusted relationships with your team and supervisor
• Growing your skillset completing all required training and actively developing the capabilities you'll need to take the next step in your career
• Living our values showing up with commitment, meeting the goals you set with your supervisor, and genuinely caring about the outcomes you help create.
