  • Work closely with Engineering, Quality, and Production teams to troubleshoot assembly issues and improve processes.
  • Support new assembly procedure development, process validation, and continuous improvement initiatives.
  • Follow Lean Manufacturing, 5S, contamination control, and cleanroom or controlled-environment practices when required.
  • Help maintain compliance with internal quality requirements, customer specifications, ISO 13485:2016, AS9100, and ITAR-related manufacturing expectations.

• What You Bring
Required Qualifications:
  • High school diploma or equivalent required.
  • Ability to read and interpret blueprints, assembly drawings, work instructions, schematics, and inspection requirements.
  • Strong manual dexterity, attention to detail, and comfort working with small or delicate components.
  • Experience using hand tools, torque tools, microscopes, fixtures, adhesive dispensing equipment, and precision measuring equipment.
  • Ability to work collaboratively with Engineering, Quality, and Production teams.

  • 3-5 years of experience in precision assembly
  • Medical device assembly, aerospace assembly, mechanical assembly, electromechanical assembly, or similar detailed manufacturing
  • Familiarity with ISO 13485, AS9100, cleanroom procedures, contamination control, GD&T, inspection documentation, or ERP systems
  • Lean manufacturing or 5S experience
  • Experience supporting precision manufacturing, CNC machining, grinding, EDM, inspection, or production operations
Physical Requirements
To perform the essential functions of this position successfully, an individual must be able to:
  • Frequently sit and/or stand for extended periods during a shift.
  • Regularly use hands and fingers for fine manipulation, precision assembly, and operation of hand tools and assembly equipment.
  • Occasionally lift, carry, push, or pull materials, components, and equipment weighing up to 25 pounds independently and up to 50 pounds with assistance.
  • Maintain visual acuity sufficient to inspect small features, identify defects, read engineering drawings, assembly instructions, and quality documentation. This may include working with microscopes, magnification devices, or other visual inspection equipment.
  • Ability to distinguish fine detail, color variations, and surface imperfections.
  • Wear required personal protective equipment (PPE), including safety glasses, gloves, hearing protection, cleanroom garments, hair coverings, and other protective equipment as required.
  • Work in controlled environments, including Class 8 cleanrooms, while complying with contamination control and cleanliness requirements.
  • Maintain regular attendance and work overtime as needed to support production schedules and customer requirements.

Reasonable accommodations may be made to enable qualified individuals with disabilities to perform the essential functions of the position.
