About You

You’re a hands-on problem solver who takes pride in doing things right the first time. You have a keen eye for detail, enjoy working with precision, and understand the importance of quality in every component you assemble.

You will bring experience from a manufacturing, engineering, or assembly environment — ideally working with mechanical or electrical components. You’re comfortable reading technical drawings or build instructions, and you know your way around a range of hand and power tools.

Teamwork comes naturally to you, and you’re just as happy working independently as you are collaborating with others to meet production goals. You take ownership of your work, maintain high standards of safety and cleanliness, and are always looking for ways to improve processes and efficiency.

Above all, you’re reliable, motivated, and take real pride in contributing to a product you can stand behind.
