Job Description

Description

We are looking for a Quality Intern who wants real, hands-on experience in a precision manufacturing environment. This is not a shadowing role. You will be working directly with our team to improve how quality is documented, measured, and executed on the shop floor. We build tight-tolerance, mission-critical components for demanding industries. Quality is not a department here, it is how the business runs. This role is an opportunity to learn that firsthand while contributing to meaningful, operational improvements.

• Working with both engineering and production to ensure standards are clear and followed

This role is designed to give exposure across documentation, inspection, systems, and continuous improvement.
