- Demonstrated ability to take an approved CAD model or mechanical drawing to a finished part using mills, lathes, CNC equipment, hand tools, fixtures, and appropriate inspection methods
- Ability to read mechanical drawings, understand GD&T, tolerances, materials, and inspection requirements, and identify manufacturability constraints before work begins
- Experience coordinating internal or external machine shops and resolving technical questions while preserving engineering approval boundaries
- Reliable organization, safety judgment, documentation, and communication across ad hoc work and multiple engineering customers
- Eligibility to obtain and maintain a U.S. security clearance
