The employee must keep tooling calibrated, follow operational and safety procedures, maintain a clean work area, and may be temporarily reassigned to other production areas as needed. The position is on second shift. The hourly rate is $27.03, plus a $2.00-per-hour shift differential. Candidates must reside within 50 miles of the Los Angeles facility, except active-duty military candidates. No relocation benefit is offered. Access to export-controlled information requires the applicant to meet the stated U.S. person eligibility definition.
