• ~8–12 years of experience in manufacturing engineering

• Strong hands-on experience in:

  • Welding processes (procedure qualification, troubleshooting preferred)

  • CNC machining (turning, milling, multi-axis)

• Experience in precision engineering or aerospace environment is highly advantageous

• Ability to balance technical depth with operational and commercial awareness

• Comfortable working closely with production teams and solving real-time issues

What sets you apart
