A Day in This RoleYou'll start your day aligning with production and engineering on priorities, then move into hands-on problem solving-reviewing test data, refining a work instruction with a supervisor, or closing a corrective action. In the afternoon, you might join a sales call to vet a custom request, translate it into specs, and map the path from prototype through production. Expect a mix of desk work, shop-floor collaboration, and conversations with leaders who value practical, data-driven decisions.Culture & EnvironmentThis is a high-accountability, team-first setting that values precision and follow-through. People who thrive here are organized, comfortable switching between the office and plant floor, and take pride in product reliability and customer responsiveness.#TalrooIndependence
