• Perform first-article validation and in-process troubleshooting
• Adjust feeds, speeds, offsets, and tool paths to maintain quality
• Train and support setup machinists and operators
• Collaborate with leadership, planners, QC, and machinists
• Support compliance with ISO 9001 / AS9100 quality standards

This is a high-impact role in a professional, quality-driven shop environment.
