SMT/Through‑Hole Electronics Production Operator

When critical messages need to reach people fast—during lockdowns, hospital codes, or natural disasters—Valcom systems help make that happen. Those systems begin as meticulously assembled printed circuit boards. If you like solving problems with your hands and your head, we’ll teach you how to bring those boards to life.

• Prefer late starts? The core schedule is Monday–Thursday, 4:00 pm–2:30 am, with mornings wide open
• Earn an extra $1.00/hour for second shift
• Plenty of overtime available on Fridays (and occasional Saturdays)
• No prior electronics experience? We’ll provide hands‑on training in SMT and through‑hole assembly
• Grow fast by cross‑training—your initiative is noticed here

Picture your first hour: you review the traveler, load feeders, verify programs, and run a first‑article inspection. The rest of your shift, you’ll keep production humming:

• Run, set up, and switch over SMT and through‑hole equipment for a variety of builds
• Program offsets, speeds, and placements to match each board and component
• Inspect output at multiple checkpoints to safeguard quality
• Top off materials, replace consumables, and complete routine maintenance tasks
• Troubleshoot line issues with teammates to protect yield and schedule

Work in a clean, climate‑controlled space with low to moderate noise. Expect to stand and move for most of the shift, handle small parts, and use hand tools—finishing each day with visible results you helped create.
