• Perform material movement duties by going to the stockroom or warehouse, gathering parts, and delivering them to the production floor, including significant standing, counting, and walking.
• Deliver materials to the point of consumption in response to Kanban signals to ensure continuous production flow.
• Accurately perform inventory transactions in the system to maintain correct stock levels and traceability.
• Actively participate in Tier 1 daily management system (DMS) meetings and contribute updates on production status and issues.
• Contribute to continuous improvement projects by identifying opportunities to improve safety, quality, efficiency, and workflow.
• Keep the work area well organized, clean, and compliant with workplace standards and 5S principles.
• Follow all safety procedures and quality standards while working with electronic assemblies, small parts, and production equipment.
• Perform additional duties as assigned by supervision to support overall production goals.

• Willingness and ability to rotate between different work areas and tasks as needed.
• Strong attention to detail to ensure quality electronic assemblies.
• Reliability in attendance, punctuality, and consistent work habits.

• Exposure to soldering, wire and cable assembly, or related electronic production processes.
• Familiarity with Kanban systems and basic inventory control practices.
• Comfort working with SMT and AOI-related processes in an electronics manufacturing setting.
• Experience participating in daily management or stand-up meetings in a production environment.
• Willingness to learn new tasks and cross-train across multiple production areas.
• Strong teamwork, communication, and collaborative skills to support continuous improvement.

You will work in a modern, state-of-the-art facility designed with employee comfort and engagement in mind, including a full kitchen, game area with pool and ping pong tables, a TV lounge, and a small library. The organization places a strong emphasis on being employee-focused and actively seeks feedback from team members to continually improve the workplace. There is a clear pathway for contingent workers to convert to full-time employment based on performance, skill, work attitude, attendance, and teamwork, with a structured conversion program that includes base wage increases upon conversion. You will benefit from a culture that values continuous improvement, open communication, and opportunities to grow your skills in a supportive production environment.

Work Environment

The role is based in a state-of-the-art electronics manufacturing facility with brand-new workstations and a highly organized production flow. The layout is comparable to a football field, starting at one end with raw materials, progressing through SMT and AOI machines, then into the assembly and hand-add area, and finishing in the packaging and shipping department. You will primarily work in the assembly and hand-add area, handling small electronic components and using small hand tools. The environment involves a mix of sitting (for detailed assembly work) and significant standing, walking, and pushing carts in SMT and material movement areas. Work is supported by computer-based systems and Windows platforms, with a strong emphasis on cleanliness, organization, and adherence to production processes. The facility promotes a clean, orderly, and collaborative atmosphere where daily management meetings and continuous improvement activities are part of the routine.
