- Ability to organize technical information, maintain revision control, and follow established procedures.
- Proficiency with Microsoft Office applications, especially Excel, Word, and PowerPoint.
- Willingness to learn quality systems, manufacturing processes, regulatory expectations, and customer-specific requirements.
- Hands-on attitude and willingness to spend time on the production floor supporting fabrication and quality needs.
- Bachelor’s degree in Industrial Engineering, Manufacturing Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, Electrical Engineering or a related technical field; equivalent technical experience may be considered.
- 1–2 years of experience in electronics manufacturing, fabrication, quality, engineering, or a related technical environment.
- Working knowledge of IPC/WHMA-A-620, IPC-A-610, IPC J-STD-001, and AS9100 standards.
- Basic ability to read and understand technical drawings, specifications, and manufacturing work instructions.
- Basic understanding of manufacturing processes, quality control, and production documentation.
- Ability to communicate clearly in verbal and written form with cross-functional teams.
- Ability to work in a manufacturing environment and follow safety, quality, and procedural requirements.
- Strong ownership, learning agility, attention to detail, and commitment to supporting quality and production execution.
- English communication skills appropriate for reading technical documents, preparing reports and on-line meetings.
- Experience supporting quality assurance, inspection, fabrication, or manufacturing engineering activities through internships, co-ops, academic projects, or prior employment.
- Exposure to root cause analysis, corrective action, statistical process control, measurement systems, or quality management systems.
