Job Description

Job DescriptionAre You the Go-To Person for Finishing, Traceability, and Quality?

Imagine starting your shift by checking work orders, staging materials, and planning the route each component will take. You coordinate with your Department Manager, then move parts through precise finishing steps, document every action to ISO 13485, and confirm dimensions before release.

  • Tumbling
  • Blasting
  • Heat treat
  • Laser welding
  • Laser marking
  • Passivation
  • Anodize
• Verify quality with visual and dimensional checks using a microscope, micrometer, caliper, pin gauges, thread gauges, a comparator, and a Micro-Hite.
• Maintain and file ISO 13485-compliant documentation for every lot and operation.
• Control identification, status, and complete traceability for conforming and nonconforming material.
• Champion GDP/GMP and continuous improvement with quality best practices.
