  • ERP Coordination: Support material tracking, scheduling, and work order documentation within our ERP system.
  • Team Support: Assist as an Engineering Technician when workload permits; no task is too small.

Experience and Skills Required:

  • CNC Expertise: Experience operating and maintaining CNC equipment; strong understanding of CAM and G-code.
  • Safety & Training: Demonstrated knowledge of shop safety and ability to train others.
