• Read and interpret engineering drawings and GD&T requirements
• Conduct operational testing and quality inspections
• Work closely with engineering and production teams on custom fabricated assemblies
• Utilize hand tools and manufacturing equipment to complete projects
• Maintain AS9100 quality and safety standards
