• Collaborate with team members in a production environment to meet daily and weekly output goals.
• Maintain a clean, organized, and safe work area in accordance with clean room and safety standards.
• Use basic computer skills to enter production data, follow electronic work instructions, or record inspection results as required.
• Adapt to increasing complexity of builds over time and continuously improve speed and accuracy as training progresses.
• Be open to transitioning to another nearby facility after the initial assignment period, based on performance and business needs.
