Qualifications:

• 1-2 years of experience in manufacturing operations, prototype shops, supply chain coordination, or technical vendor management.
• Ability to read and interpret technical drawings, basic GD&T callouts, and manufacturing specifications.
• Comfortable using basic measurement tools (calipers, micrometers, gauges) for quality inspection.
• Strong attention to detail with the ability to track multiple projects simultaneously without dropping details.
• Clear written and verbal communication skills for vendor coordination and customer updates.
• Proficiency with order management systems, spreadsheets, and Microsoft Office Suite.
• Ability to work in a shop floor environment, including lifting packages up to 50 lbs.

Desired Qualifications:

• Previous experience in CNC machining, prototype manufacturing, or job shop environments.
• Knowledge of common machining processes (milling, turning, grinding) and manufacturing terminology.
• Experience with 3D printing technologies (FDM, SLA, SLS) and post-processing techniques.
• Familiarity with ERP or job tracking software used in custom manufacturing.
• Understanding of shipping considerations for precision parts (moisture control, anti-corrosion, packaging for delicate features).
• Experience coordinating with technical vendors or managing procurement in manufacturing settings.
• Exposure to rapid prototyping environments with rush timelines and changing priorities.
