As a Vac, Trim, & Fixture Builder, you'll turn CAD intent into rock-solid vacuum and trim tooling that keeps manufacturing moving fast and accurate.

• Perform hands-on drilling, tapping, reaming, grinding, and hand-finishing
• Conduct prove-out/validation, tryouts, and buy-offs
• Document changes and flag issues early

Daily Momentum

Your morning starts early on the shop floor—checking the day's priorities, verifying you've got the right components, and setting up your work area for a clean build. You'll move between bench work and surface plates, making careful checks with indicators and height gauges, then pivot quickly when a fit-up needs a smart adjustment. Midday often brings a fast-paced prove-out where you watch a tool perform, capture tweaks, and coordinate next steps with engineering and the foreman. As the day closes, you'll lock in documentation, prep for the next build stage, and keep momentum ready for overtime pushes when schedules demand it.
