We are seeking assembly operators to produce high-quality lenses. These lenses are critical receiver components for communications devices, including satellites used in commercial, military, and aerospace applications. The successful candidate will oversee the multi-step production of these lenses, from dry assembly and thermal processing to robotic foam molding and rigorous quality assurance, ensuring they meet the highest standards before being integrated into terminal assemblies of 108 lenses.

• Execute dry assembly of 12 injection-molded elements within a nested structure.

● Manage hot tool thermal processing, baking units in dedicated ovens for six hours until bonded into single-piece centroids.

● Perform initial density verifications and quality checks on merged centroids prior to tray placement.

● Oversee automated Extrusion Foam Molding operations utilizing collaborative robotics for part handling, mold positioning, and foam dispensing.

● Carry out precise manual deflashing and gate removal on components following foam processing.

● Complete secondary density calculations to verify foam application before final quality approval and packaging.

● Cleanliness Standards: Maintain strict cleanliness protocols in the "East Mini" area, treating the space with clean-room-level care to prevent contamination from dirt, dust, and debris.

● Material Handling: Wear required blue nitrile gloves at all times when handling parts to prevent contamination. It will also be required to wear a hair net and beard net.

● Serialization Management: Follow correct serialization steps for every single part produced to enable precise problem identification and ensure proper reaction plans in the event of a recall.

● Process Integrity: Conduct visual and density inspections at multiple stages of the process and strictly adhere to a first-in first-out (FIFO) inventory method.
