Our Customers

The TMH Manufacturing Department. Our manufacturing associates are fulfilling the core function of our company, and they are our primary customers. We serve them in various ways, from day-to-day support on minor issues to new process development, safety improvements, equipment upgrades, and hundreds of minor process improvements per year.

IT Interface: Act as liaison and technical resource, helping to support coordination and alignment of the activities of all groups as they relate to systems architecture and data collection and utilization in the company.

Project Support: Support capital investment projects that the Production Engineer process owners are leading. Ensure precise control specifications and approved electrical drawings meet company standards. Support equipment run-off, debugging, and adjustment before and during mass production implementation.

General Requirements:

Strong technical experience and troubleshooting capability, and willingness to work hands-on
Commitment, resourcefulness, ambition, and the ability to aggregate & balance multiple projects
