Job Description

Description:

RAM Aerospace has been powering flight and space exploration since 1975, delivering precision solenoids, valves, actuators, LVDTs, and RVDTs for commercial, defense, and space applications. Headquartered in St. George, Utah, with a facility in Valencia, California, we build mission-critical components that the world's leading aerospace programs depend on. Join a team that builds the future of aerospace, on time, with excellence. Your career takes off here!

As an Assembly Technician , every component you assemble at RAM plays a role in something bigger—from keeping aircraft flying safely to supporting national defense and space exploration. You’ll be part of a mission-driven team that values precision, reliability, and continuous improvement. You’ll work with your hands, your head, and knowing that what you build matters. Whether you're just starting out or looking to grow in a high-tech manufacturing industry, this role offers a strong foundation and a clear path forward.

Duties and Responsibilities

• Precision Assembly: Assemble, position, align, and fasten units to assemblies, subassemblies, or frames using a variety of hand and power tools.

• Blueprint Reading: Read and interpret technical blueprints, schematics, and engineering specifications to determine the correct component parts and assembly sequences for complex electromechanical units.
• Measurement & Inspection: Measure parts to determine exact tolerances using precision measuring instruments such as micrometers, calipers, and verniers. You will inspect, test, and adjust completed units to ensure they meet strict customer order requirements.
• Finishing Touches: Clean and lubricate parts and subassemblies using appropriate materials (grease paddles, oilcans). You will also attach nameplates and accurately mark identifying information on parts for traceability.
• Teardown & Prep: Carefully disassemble units to replace defective parts or to safely crate them for shipping.

Pay: $19.50 per hour. After 90 days it goes to $20.00 per hour. This includes 2nd shift differential pay. You'll also be a part of our annual all employee bonus. Lots of career advancement opportunities!

• Mechanical Aptitude: Comfortable working with your hands, utilizing hand/power tools, and performing mechanical assembly tasks. Prior manufacturing or assembly experience is a plus, but we are willing to train the right candidate!
• Technical Skills: Ability to learn or currently possess the ability to read technical blueprints and use precision measuring tools (calipers, micrometers). Basic math skills are required to verify tolerances.
• Attention to Detail: High level of focus and a commitment to quality. You must care about doing the job right the first time.
