    Participate in engineering problem-solving meetings
    Develop and refine machining processes for continuous improvement
    Maintain machines, tooling, and a clean 5S-compliant workspace
    This is a
    hands-on, start-to-finish role
    where your machining judgment and problem-solving skills matter.
