How much do core assembly jobs pay per hour?

As of Jun 8, 2026, the average hourly pay for core assembly in the United States is $19.47, according to ZipRecruiter salary data. Most workers in this role earn between $16.83 and $21.15 per hour, depending on experience, location, and employer.

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, and why are they important?

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.

Job description

Description:

About THIS POSTING

Temperature Specialists, Inc. is a manufacturer of custom, high-accuracy temperature sensors used in industrial and laboratory applications worldwide. We are hiring for two related production assembly roles across our General Assembly and MgO Assembly departments. Both positions involve precision sensor assembly work and share a common set of core skills — we will place the right candidate in the department that best fits their background and our current production needs.

Sensor Assembler

General Assembly Department. Core assembly role focused on resistance welding, hydraulic press operation, and potting compound processes to build finished temperature sensors.

MgO Sensor Fabricator

MgO Assembly Department. Broader fabrication role adding TIG welding, lathe operation, belt sanding, and sandblasting on top of core assembly processes.

No prior experience is required for either role — we provide comprehensive in-house training. A background in manufacturing, assembly, welding, or any hands-on production work is a plus.

CORE RESPONSIBILITIES — BOTH ROLES

  • Read and interpret blueprints, work orders, and instruction paperwork to assemble temperature sensor components accurately to specification
  • Perform resistance welding under a microscope to join small sensor components, requiring steady hands and sustained attention to detail
  • Operate a hydraulic press to assemble and compress sensor components to specified tolerances
  • Perform potting compound processes to seal and protect finished sensor assemblies
  • Use dimensional measuring equipment to verify part specifications and inspect finished assemblies for quality
  • Document production output and log completed work orders to support traceability and scheduling
  • Communicate with other departments on assembly schedules and custom sensor requirements

ADDITIONAL RESPONSIBILITIES — MGO SENSOR FABRICATOR

  • Perform TIG welding of stainless-steel sensor components, producing clean, consistent welds to specification
  • Operate a manual lathe to machine and finish sensor components during the assembly process
  • Use a belt sander to grind and finish metal components to required dimensions and surface finish
  • Operate sandblasting equipment to surface-treat MgO sensor components and assemblies

WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR

  • Good fine motor skills and manual dexterity — both roles involve working with small sensor components and precision equipment
  • Ability to perform sustained close-focus work under a microscope
  • Strong attention to detail and a commitment to consistent, accurate output in a production environment
  • Ability to read and follow blueprints, work orders, and written assembly instructions
  • Collaborative attitude and comfort working within a team environment
  • Prior experience in manufacturing, assembly, welding, or a related hands-on field is preferred but not required — all technical      skills are developed through our in-house training program

WHY JOIN TEMPERATURE SPECIALISTS

Two open roles — we'll place the right candidate based on your background and our current needs

Comprehensive in-house training — no prior sensor assembly or welding experience required

Stable, full-time position with a specialty manufacturer of precision custom-engineered products

Opportunity to develop in-demand skills in precision assembly, resistance welding, and sensor fabrication
