• ITAR-eligible status as required for this role.
• High school diploma or GED equivalent.
• Ability to work all shifts on an AWS schedule, including weekends, with reliable transportation to the facility.
• Capability to stand, climb, wear PPE, lift up to 25 lbs, and work comfortably in a loud production environment.
• At least 1+ year of hands-on technical experience in manufacturing, maintenance, trades, automotive, military, or vocational settings.

• 2+ years of hands-on technical experience in a related field is a strong plus.
• Familiarity with MES (Manufacturing Execution Systems) and ERP systems.
• Experience with root cause analysis techniques such as 5-Why.
• Knowledge of OSHA safety practices and forklift operation.
• Demonstrated stability in work history, with thoughtful reasoning for any frequent job changes.
• Background in general labor, general production, machine operation, and inspection is beneficial.

You will join a cutting-edge manufacturing environment that values technical excellence, continuous improvement, and hands-on problem solving. The organization offers comprehensive benefits, structured growth opportunities across multiple skill levels, and the chance to contribute to innovative, high-impact production work. You will work with advanced tools and processes in a climate-controlled facility that emphasizes safety, collaboration, and long-term career development.

This role is based in an indoor, climate-controlled production facility with a loud but well-managed manufacturing environment. Team members wear appropriate personal protective equipment and may be required to stand, climb, and lift up to 25 lbs during their shift.…
