This role provides strong long‑term career growth, exposure to advanced manufacturing operations, and close collaboration with Product Engineering, Quality, Supply Chain, and Manufacturing teams.

The ideal candidate will thrive in a fast‑paced environment that values accountability, problem‑solving, continuous improvement, and hands‑on engineering involvement on the production floor.
