This role will begin with improving and maintaining technical documentation within our Mechanical Design team (assembly manuals, work instructions, SOPs). Over time, it will grow into a production support and sustaining engineering role, where you will help resolve issues, improve processes, and implement practical solutions on the production floor. In this role, you will work between engineering and production teams to ensure that what is designed can be built reliably, consistently, and efficiently. (Growth Role)

• Identify recurring problems and propose improvements
• Design simple jigs, fixtures, or process changes

What We’re Looking For:
