• Track training effectiveness, including time-to-competency, rework, first-pass yield, and cross-training coverage, and recommend improvements.
• Other duties as assigned

Qualifications:

• 1 to 3 years of experience in a manufacturing or production environment (internships, co-ops, or military technical or maintenance experience count).

• Ability to read engineering drawings, BOMs, and routings, and to follow a process at the station level.
• Strong communication skills and genuine comfort teaching and coaching on the production floor.
• Highly organized and detail-oriented, especially with documentation and training records.
• Proficient with standard computer tools (Microsoft Office and work-instruction or documentation systems).
