What We’re Looking For
- Associate degree in engineering technology, manufacturing technology, industrial technology, mechanical design, materials technology, or a related technical field required.
- Experience in foundry, casting, machining, tooling, or metal manufacturing preferred.
- Ability to read and interpret drawings, specifications, routings, bills of material, and technical documents.
- Strong mechanical aptitude and practical problem-solving skills.
