• Perform job changeovers, including screen changes, ink adjustments, tooling setup, and registration
• Troubleshoot mechanical, print-quality, and process issues to minimize downtime
• Maintain consistent print quality across production runs
• Conduct in-process quality inspections to ensure prints meet specifications
• Optimize machine settings, ink performance, and cycle times for production efficiency
• Support continuous improvement efforts using lean manufacturing principles
• Work closely with production and quality teams to resolve print-related issues
