What they are checking: Clear communication of equipment status to leadership, which the posting asks for.
What does 6S mean to you in a work area?

What would you do
This is a third-shift job, 11 p.m. to 7 a.m. How will that work for you?

What they are checking: Knowing when to escalate and how to keep the cell moving.
About the work
Tell me about your experience with digital inkjet printers. What problems have you fixed yourself?

How do you catch defects during a print run before many bad parts are made?
