  Experience in mistake-proofing (Poka-yoke) techniques is highly desirable.

  
  
• 
  

  Six Sigma or Lean Manufacturing training preferred.

  
  

• 
  

  Expertise in machining processes including turning, milling, drilling, broaching, grinding, and balancing.

  
  
• 
  

  Ability to design and debug tooling and fixturing.
