Core Qualifications:

* Hands-on experience operating or supporting CNC/manual lathes, mills, and grinders in a rework or repair context

* Strong familiarity with tight-tolerance machining and inspection of aerospace components

* Proficiency with metrology tools: micrometers, calipers, dial indicators, optical comparators, and interpreting CMM outputs

* Direct involvement in MRB processes and nonconformance documentation

* Demonstrated ability to write clear, actionable rework instructions

* Working knowledge of GD&T and structured problem-solving (RCCA, 5-Why, fishbone)

* Strong communication and technical writing skills; able to work across production, quality, and engineering

Preferred Traits & Skills:

* Background as a machinist, technician, or rework operator who transitioned into engineering

* Experience in repair/overhaul or sustainment environments
