You will track parts through each stage of production, evaluate deviations against drawings and GD&amp;T requirements, and communicate directly with customers and internal teams on part status and disposition. Complex geometries, tight tolerances, and an exacting eye for detail define the work, on parts built for some of the world's most advanced hardware systems.</p> <p class="font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal">You will operate in a fast-paced, dynamic environment where schedules evolve quickly and rigor and reliability are non-negotiable. This role requires hands-on manufacturing experience, strong communication skills, and the technical depth to read drawings, understand tolerances, and make sound calls under production pressure.</p> <p><span data-ccp-props="{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;335559738&quot;:240,&quot;335559739&quot;:240}"><iframe src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/sXfG6ssZ190?feature=shared" width="560" height="315"></iframe></span></p> <p><strong><span data-contrast="auto">Responsibilities:</span></strong><span data-contrast="auto">&nbsp;</span><span data-ccp-props="{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;335559738&quot;:240,&quot;335559739&quot;:240}">&nbsp;</span></p> <ul> <li class="font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2">Own the day-to-day flow of parts through post-processing, monitoring throughput and flagging issues before they become bottlenecks</li> <li class="font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2">Evaluate part rework, deformation, and n
