Why this role matters

Every assembly you complete and test contributes to the reliability of life-safety technology in the field. Your craftsmanship, documentation discipline, and eye for nonconformances help us ship quality on time—every time.

How you’ll contribute

• Build electronic products/subassemblies using hand tools and fixtures (screwdrivers, torque tools, crimpers, cutters, strippers).
• Perform wiring, cable prep, and connector install to spec; route and dress wires to workmanship standards.
• Interpret work orders, BOMs, drawings, schematics (as applicable), and written instructions.
• Execute in-process and final inspections; complete required documentation.
• Use basic test gear—multimeters, continuity testers, power supplies—and record results.
• Spot defects, segregate suspect material, and communicate with supervisors/quality.
• Keep travelers, lot traceability, and time/quantity data accurate and current.
• Maintain a 5S workspace—organized, clean, and stocked.
• Adhere to safety, ESD, and company policies; take on other production tasks as needed.

Grow with us

• Build foundations in IPC/J-STD workmanship and broaden soldering skill (through-hole/SMT).
• Gain experience with harness/cable assembly, precision crimping, and rework/repair.
• Work within ISO 9001 environments and leverage ERP/MRP and digital work instructions.
• Cross-train on equipment and, where applicable, material handling (forklift/pallet jack).

What you bring

• High school diploma or GED (or comparable education/experience).
• 1+ year of manufacturing assembly; electronics background preferred.
• Ability to follow detailed instructions and standardized workflows.
• Hands-on mechanical aptitude; confident with common hand tools.
• Reliable, repetitive execution with a quality-first mindset.
• Math and measurement skills (rulers/calipers as needed).
• Team-oriented with the ability to work independently in a fast pace.
• Professional communication with peers and leadership.
• Commitment to ESD, safety, and quality compliance.

Physical realities

• Work on a production floor; frequent standing/sitting and fine motor tasks.
• Lift/move 25–40 lbs as required.
• Close visual work on small components (corrective lenses if needed).
• PPE and ESD controls required; overtime may be required.

Technical strengths we appreciate

• Electrical/electronic systems fundamentals
• Mechanical assembly and machine builds
• Soldering proficiency
• Low-voltage cabling and equipment wiring/installation
• Industrial electrical familiarity
• Blueprint and schematic reading
• High School / GED
