- Proficiency in SolidWorks and AutoCAD for 3D modeling, 2D drafting, and tolerance analysis.
- Strong working knowledge of Lean Manufacturing, Six Sigma, or similar methodologies.
- Experience with ERP/MRP systems (NetSuite a plus).
- Demonstrated success in process development, design for manufacturability, and production scaling.
- Hands-on experience with containerization, modular product platforms, and structural weldments.
- Knowledge of ISO9001 quality systems and compliance standards.
- Exceptional analytical, problem-solving, and project management skills.
- Excellent communication and interpersonal abilities.
Preferred Qualifications:
- Experience in containerized HVAC, power distribution, or control system enclosures.
