• Perform visual inspection of assembled parts and components to verify quality and identify defects or inconsistencies.

• Conduct final basic inspection of products using micrometers, calipers, pin gages, and a digital microscope to confirm they meet specifications and tolerances.

• Handle and manipulate small parts with consistent accuracy, leveraging strong manual dexterity and hand-eye coordination.

• Follow established work instructions, procedures, and quality standards to ensure consistent and compliant assembly processes.

• Document work as needed using basic computer skills, including entering inspection data or production information.

• Participate in daily or weekly team meetings to provide updates on work progress, share feedback, and contribute ideas for process improvements.

• Adapt to evolving tasks and responsibilities as the start-up grows, taking on new assignments and supporting different aspects of manufacturing as needed.

• Collaborate closely with team members and leadership to support a continuous improvement culture and help refine production methods.

Essential Skills

• Light mechanical aptitude with experience using basic hand tools.

• Experience performing visual or mechanical inspection of parts or products.

• High attention to detail with a focus on accuracy and quality.

• Good manual dexterity with hands, including the ability to handle small components consistently and precisely.

• Strong communication skills, including the ability to provide updates and feedback in a team setting.

• Basic computer skills for simple data entry and documentation tasks.

• Comfort using tools such as drill presses, arbor presses, and finishing tools.

• Ability to use inspection tools such as micrometers, calipers, pin gages, and digital microscopes after training.

Additional Skills & Qualifications

• Experience in medical device manufacturing or working in a cleanroom environment.

• Experience working for a start-up company or in a fast-changing environment.

• Demonstrated ability to adapt to new processes and tasks as responsibilities evolve.

• Interest in contributing ideas for process improvement and continuous improvement initiatives.
