- Carry out delicate, hands-on tasks with precision and care for quality.
- Work closely with your teammates in a supportive, close-knit environment.
- Read and interpret technical/engineering drawings (we’ll train you!).
- Assist with setup and transfer of parts across production areas like Press and Kiln.
- Handle small, intricate components using steady hands and fine motor skills.
- Prepare parts for 3D scanning and ensure proper packaging and labeling.
- Be adaptable — pitch in wherever needed to keep production running smoothly.

- Join a company that values inclusion, safety, and shared success.
What We’re Looking For
- A strong sense of ownership and accountability in your work.
- Comfortable using your hands and working with small, delicate parts.
- Open to learning — especially how to read technical instructions and drawings.
- A team player with a positive, can-do attitude.
- Prior manufacturing or engineering experience is great — but not essential.
