Behavioral

Walk me through a time you had to assemble a part by strictly following a print or work instruction, even when it seemed slower than doing it your own way.

Tell me about a time you caught a defect or a mistake in your own work before it moved to the next station.

Technical

How would you measure a ball nut or similar part using a micrometer and calipers to confirm it meets spec?

actual hands-on familiarity with precision inspection tools, not just naming them

whether they escalate or guess when data conflicts, which affects quality and safety

If you noticed your workstation or the shared area wasn't meeting 5S standards, what would you do about it?

buy-in to housekeeping and organization standards as part of daily work, not an afterthought

Suppose you're told there's an overtime shift coming up on a weekend with short notice. How do you usually handle that kind of request?
