• Demonstrated ownership, follow-through, and ability to manage multiple priorities in a production environment.

Outstanding Candidates Will Have:

• Internship, co-op, undergraduate project, or early-career experience in a manufacturing, chemical processing, semiconductor, cleanroom, high-purity, or regulated production environment.

• Familiarity with Lean, Six Sigma, DMAIC, 5S, waste reduction, or other continuous improvement methods.

• Very strong usage of Excel and PowerPoint. Knowledge of JMP/Minitab, SolidWorks, or similar tools.
