Proven track record in process development and optimisation.
Experience with SAP (Systems Applications and Products).
Understanding of Dimensional Characteristic Matrix (DCM), Feature Verification Risk Assessment (FVRA), and Process FMEA.
Familiarity with nuclear sector design codes, including ASME Section III.
