Experience developing or improving manufacturing processes, routings, work instructions, and production methods
Experience with CAD software such as SolidWorks
Experience working with ERP/MRP systems
Working knowledge of quality control methods, inspection requirements, and nonconformance resolution
Proficiency with Microsoft Office, particularly Excel
Strong written, verbal, and interpersonal communication skills
Ability to work cross-functionally and directly with the shop floor to resolve manufacturing and production issues

Preferred Qualifications

Experience in a precision CNC machining, aerospace, defense, medical device, or advanced manufacturing environment
Experience with Epicor ERP
Experience with Lean Manufacturing, Six Sigma, Kaizen, or similar continuous-improvement methodologies
Knowledge of machining materials, cutting tools, plating, finishing, and outside processing
Experience with production planning, scheduling, BOMs, routings, and manufacturing documentation
Experience supporting high-mix, precision manufacturing operations
