Assist with optics machining and preparation where required
Troubleshoot process issues and implement practical, hands-on solutions
Contribute to process documentation, standard operating procedures, and continuous improvement
Work closely with engineering and production teams to ensure smooth workflow and product quality
Follow all health and safety procedures
