Hourly range $31 - $33 Potential for Stock Equity 401K Matching Competitive Benefits Package including Medical, Dental, and Vision Three weeks of PTO 11 Paid Holidays Position Overview One Stop Systems is seeking a highly skilled and experienced Senior Electro-Mechanical Assembler to assemble complex, high-value computing and electro-mechanical systems in our Escondido manufacturing facility. This position requires extensive hands‑on experience with precision mechanical assembly, electrical wiring, electronic component integration, and complete system builds. The ideal candidate is a technically proficient, self‑sufficient assembler who can interpret engineering documentation, independently perform complex assembly operations, and identify and resolve assembly‑related challenges with minimal supervision. Unlike traditional assembly positions focused on repetitive production tasks, this role requires the ability to work across multiple product configurations in a high‑mix, low‑volume manufacturing environment. Candidates must possess the experience and technical capability to become independently productive on assigned OSS products within approximately 2–4 weeks, following product‑specific orientation, training, and qualification. We are looking for experienced professionals who take ownership of their work, demonstrate excellent mechanical aptitude, and consistently deliver high‑quality assemblies.

Perform cable routing, connector installation, wire management, and electrical interconnections according to approved engineering documentation. Execute complex system builds involving multiple mechanical, electrical, and electronic subassemblies. Properly use hand tools, power tools, torque‑controlled equipment, measuring instruments, and other manufacturing tools. Maintain excellent workmanship while handling sensitive, high‑value electronic components and assemblies. Engineering Documentation and Technical Interpretation Read and accurately interpret mechanical drawings, assembly drawings, bills of materials (BOMs), wiring diagrams, and manufacturing work instructions. Understand component relationships, assembly sequences, mechanical tolerances, and electrical interconnections. Independently organize and execute assembly operations using approved manufacturing documentation. Identify and communicate discrepancies involving drawings, BOMs, component fitment, and assembly instructions. Adapt to new product configurations and engineering revisions while following approved change-control procedures. Troubleshooting and Problem‑Solving Identify and resolve routine mechanical assembly, component fitment, installation, and wiring issues within established procedures. Recognize incorrect components, missing hardware, misaligned parts, damaged connectors, and potential assembly defects. Exercise sound technical judgment in determining when issues can be resolved through approved procedures and when Engineering or Quality support is required. Collaborate with Manufacturing Engineering, Design Engineering, Quality, and Production to address build challenges. Proactively identify opportunities to improve assembly methods, reduce rework, and increase production efficiency.
