Job Title: Production Assembler
Job Description
The Production Assembler works as part of a collaborative production line team to assemble, test, and pack high-tech electronic products. In this role, you follow detailed diagrams and standard operating procedures to add chemicals to boards, perform final assembly, use hand tools, and complete documentation on a computer. You contribute directly to the quality and reliability of advanced electronic assemblies in a clean, organized, and fast-paced manufacturing environment.
Work Environment
You will work in a large production facility with multiple departments on the production floor. The environment is organized, clean, and generally quiet, though it can be louder during morning shifts and quieter in the afternoon due to operating machinery and equipment. Team members may occasionally be exposed to dust, solder, metals, higher noise levels from machinery, and physical hazards associated with moving equipment and machine parts, with appropriate protective measures in place. The culture emphasizes head-down teamwork, a positive team attitude, and cross-training opportunities to support skill development and flexibility across departments. You will be part of a larger production team and collaborate closely with colleagues in a structured, process-driven setting. The role is primarily station-based and seated, with regular use of computers to access SharePoint, diagrams, instructions, and testing tools. You will use hand tools such as screwdrivers and torque tools as part of daily tasks. Personal protective equipment is provided, including a smock, shoe covers, ear plugs, and goggles, and you must wear closed-toe shoes while on the production floor. The position is on the second shift, running from 3:30 PM to 12:00 AM, with the requirement to train on the day shift for a few months before transitioning to the regular schedule.
