● Able to develop machining methods, select tooling and design practical jigs and fixtures.
● Experience producing one-off, prototype or small-batch components.
● An excellent understanding of technical engineering drawings and the relationship between machining and fabrication processes.
● A keen eye for quality, a practical approach to problem-solving and the ability to work independently.
● Experience supporting prototype development and new product introduction would be advantageous.
