• Read BOMs, travelers, drawings, assembly instructions, and work instructions to determine required materials and build specifications.

• Use hand tools, power tools, and semi-automated equipment for crimping, stripping, labeling, and mechanical assembly.

• Complete hand soldering with low-temperature and high-temperature solder while meeting IPC Class 2 requirements.

• Perform intermediate tasks such as potting, encapsulating, sanding, cleaning, epoxy bonding, curing, stamping, labeling, and ink jetting.

• Operate inline and final test processes, including go/no-go testing, continuity testing, load testing, voltmeter checks, and ohmmeter checks.

• Record assembly time, labor, notes, test data, date codes, serial numbers, calibration data, and quality information in the manufacturing system.

• Maintain a clean, organized, and safe work area while following all safety guidelines and production processes.

• Check equipment calibration before use and verify that chemicals are properly labeled and not expired.

• Communicate questions, issues, and quality concerns to production management during the assembly process.

Your Skills

• Two years of experience in mechanical assembly, with solid soldering basics and hands-on production experience.
