Read and interpret manufacturing instructions, drawings, blueprints, and CAD models. Maintain strict component traceability. Troubleshoot complex assembly issues and help determine effective corrective actions. Partner closely with engineering and cross‑functional teams to improve assembly methods, documentation, and manufacturability. Drive continuous improvement to reduce errors, defects, scrap, and rework. Take initiative during downtime and independently move valuable work forward. Lift and transport items up to 32 lbs.
