Can you troubleshoot across equipment, tooling, setups, machine capability, and processes?

Can you interpret CMM output and turn data into sound production and quality decisions?

Are you adept with micrometers, calipers, and precision instruments—and able to train others?

Can you evaluate equipment and process capability to ensure parts meet spec?

Leadership & collaboration

Have you hired, trained, coached, and developed machinists and floor leads—using progressive discipline when needed?

Do you work effectively with Quality, CNC Programming, Manufacturing Engineering, machinists, and tooling/equipment vendors?

Can you keep calm and professional during challenging conversations while holding teams accountable?
