Core Assembly information

What is core assembly?

Core assembly refers to the process of constructing the core components used in manufacturing, most commonly in foundries for metal casting. Workers in core assembly build sand or ceramic cores and molds that shape the internal cavities of metal parts during casting. The job requires attention to detail, precision, and knowledge of safety procedures to ensure quality and consistency in the final products. Core assembly is essential in industries such as automotive, aerospace, and machinery manufacturing. Technicians often use hand tools, machines, and specialized adhesives or coatings as part of the assembly process.

What are some common challenges faced in a core assembly role and how can they be overcome?

Core Assembly professionals often encounter challenges such as maintaining high precision under tight deadlines and adapting to frequent changes in production schedules. Ensuring quality while assembling intricate components requires strong attention to detail and adherence to safety standards. Effective communication with team members and cross-department collaboration can help resolve issues quickly and minimize downtime. Continuous learning and staying updated on new assembly techniques or equipment can also help overcome these challenges and enhance job performance.

What is the difference between Core Assembly vs Machinist?

AspectCore AssemblyMachinist
Required CredentialsHigh school diploma or equivalent; some certifications in assembly or manufacturingHigh school diploma; technical certifications or apprenticeships often preferred
Work EnvironmentFactories, assembly lines, manufacturing plantsMachine shops, manufacturing facilities, workshops
Industry UsageAutomotive, aerospace, electronics manufacturingMetalworking, aerospace, automotive industries

Core Assembly involves assembling components into finished products, focusing on precision and following detailed instructions. Machinists operate and maintain machine tools to produce metal parts, requiring technical skills and knowledge of machining processes. While both roles are essential in manufacturing, Core Assembly emphasizes assembling parts, whereas Machinists focus on creating parts through machining processes.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a core assembly worker?

To thrive as a Core Assembly worker, you need manual dexterity, attention to detail, basic mechanical aptitude, and often a high school diploma or equivalent. Familiarity with assembly line tools, blueprints, and quality control systems is typically required, and some positions may prefer certifications in manufacturing or safety. Strong teamwork, problem-solving, and time management skills help individuals excel in fast-paced production environments. These competencies are crucial for ensuring efficient, accurate, and safe assembly of components, directly impacting product quality and operational productivity.

Junior Robotics Engineer

MOLG Inc.

Sterling, VA • On-site

Full-time

Re-posted 9 days ago

Job description

Hours: Full-time

Location: Molg HQ in Chantilly, VA (Northern Virginia)

Salary: Competitive compensation, including salary, equity, and full healthcare benefits


OUR MISSION

Tackle the fast growing e-waste problem by making electronics manufacturing circular. 


Molg builds robotics microfactories and software to autonomously assemble and disassemble complex electronic products like laptop PCs, servers, and battery packs. Working with some of the leading computer + server manufacturers as well as industrial companies like Stanley Black and Decker, we are building the circular manufacturing technology to recover existing in-market devices for reuse and recycling as well as helping develop the next generation of circular-focused devices at the design level. 


IN THIS ROLE YOU WILL:

Work with a talented cross-functional team of software, mechanical, electrical, and robotics engineers to develop our core technologies in robotics, assembly intelligence, computer vision, and microfactories. As a Robotics Engineer, you will be responsible for:


  • Development, testing, and deployment of disassembly, reassembly, and other automated jobs of customer products in the Molg’s Microfactories 

  • Contributing to core CAD to robotic motion and grasp planning workflow software (i.e. assembly intelligence)

  • Delivering simulations and scenarios related to customer demonstrations and deployments

  • Collaborating with mechanical, electrical, and software engineers on end-of-arm tooling, fixturing, vision systems, and control systems


WHO YOU ARE:

  • Passionate and curious about robotics and manufacturing 

  • Have some industry or academic experience in software development in the field of robotics, mechatronics, 3D modeling software, or automation.

  • Proficient in modern software development (e.g. python, ROS, github, docker, etc)

  • Ability to communicate effectively and efficiently both verbally and in writing


WHO WE ARE:


We spend our days building robotic systems, developing complex assembly intelligence software, and designing the next generation of circular products for our customers. Given the importance of working hands-on with physical systems, we are a 100% in-person team collaboratively working in our industrial space in Chantilly, VA, down the road from the largest data center market in the world.  Our facility includes a variety of robots, CNC milling machines, 3D printers, and all the tools needed to build and test our products. It is important to us that anyone on our team that is interested in learning how to use our various pieces of equipment and machinery is taught and can gain the skills and appreciation for making physical things.   


While we are primarily funded by our work with Fortune 100 companies, we are also supported by amazing backers like Elemental Excelerator and Techstars. 

THINGS TO KNOW:

  • We’re a small collaborative team with big ambitions, and there’s a good amount of context-switching. We expect people to be autonomous and drive their own work to completion.

  • We are a profitable business that is primarily funded from customer revenue, which means we are scrappy and looking to build a great sustainable company for years to come.

  • As a growing company and startup, priorities may shift as customer or business requirements change. We strive to empower individuals with context and decision-making power to meet this need.
