• Assemble and attach hardware such as caps, clamps, knobs, and switches to assemblies as required by product designs.

• Adjust or trim materials and components to achieve specified electrical or dimensional characteristics.

• Perform intermediate assembly tasks including potting, sanding, cleaning, epoxy bonding, curing, stamping, and etching of parts and assemblies.

• Trim, prepare, and apply components such as wire, cables, connectors, and resistors using solder and various adhesives as specified by prints and process documents.

• Adjust, repair, or replace electronic component parts to correct defects and ensure conformance to specifications and quality standards.

• Perform go/no-go testing and visual inspection to verify that parts and assemblies meet quality, performance, and production specifications.

• Create and update documentation to support process improvements, including engineering change requests (ECR).

• Collaborate with supervisors or engineers to plan or review work activities and resolve production or process problems.

• Inspect, test, and adjust completed units to ensure they meet all specifications, tolerances, and customer order requirements.

• Produce parts and products efficiently while minimizing waste, rework, and defects.

• Assemble electronic components, subassemblies, and finished products daily in accordance with established quality specifications and process procedures.

• Strong communication skills with the ability to understand and follow verbal and written instructions.

• Ability to work with quality standards and ESD-safe procedures to protect sensitive electronic components.

• Capability to use precision measuring instruments such as micrometers and calipers to verify tolerances.

• Comfort working with very fine wires and small quantities of assembly supplies and chemicals.

Additional Skills & Qualifications

• 1 to 2 years of soldering experience with surface-mount (SMT) and through-hole electronic components.

• 1 to 2 years of microscopic assembly experience working with fine-pitch components and small parts.

• 1 to 2 years of experience working with established quality standards and ESD-safe procedures in an electronics manufacturing environment.

• 1 to 2 years of experience using soldering irons and handling small quantities of assembly supplies and chemicals safely.

• 1 to 2 years of experience assembling SMT and through-hole electronic components on printed circuit boards.

• Experience in soldering under a microscope for precision work.

• Experience in wire harnessing and routing wires between components and connectors.

• Experience reading and interpreting electronic schematics and technical documentation.

• Ability to create or contribute to process improvement documentation such as engineering change requests (ECR).
