• Windchill is ideal but only preferred. Not a must have.
• Microsoft Office Suite would be nice as they will be using Excel.
• Extend or convert to full time? There is potential for it. Can’t commit for sure at this time.
• Rejected resumes : Manager noticed a lot of people with Masters degrees. That is too senior for them. Associates or Bachelors is fine.

• Product rationalization implementation.
• Introducing new parts as well to simplify and streamline for the customers.
• Manufacturing experience is fine to look at if they have implemented change.

• No relocation. This has to be a local candidate already and ready to go onsite.
• Change management ( boots on the ground type) with Coordination experience and manufacturing background. Product life cycle experience.
• Masters’ degree is too senior.
• Needs to be organized and able to manage multiple tasks at the same time.
