multiple stages of the medical assembly process.\n Work in the molding area by sitting at tables connected to molding machines, inspecting parts as they come off the machines, and deburring and smoothing parts to remove excess material or metal.\n Use small hand tools such as pliers, files, and knives throughout the day to clean, deburr, and finish molded parts in a repetitive, detail-oriented process.\n Perform CEA assembly operations on multiple lines (1–6) in the cleanroom, each producing specific components for different medical products.\n Sit for 6–8 hours per day in CEA assembly areas while working extensively with microscopes, using them for approximately 60% of the shift to assemble and inspect small components.\n Follow travelers and written work instructions carefully to complete assemblies, using small hand tools such as tweezers, pliers, files, and small wrenches both under microscopes and without them.\n Support laser welding operations in the cleanroom once cross-trained, operating laser welding machines and using microscopes throughout the day to weld and finish very small medical components.\n Apply high attention to detail and strong hand dexterity when performing laser welding tasks, ensuring precise and consistent welds on delicate components.\n Alternate between sitting and standing during laser welding processes, adapting to the needs of each specific task or station.\n Work in the implantable housings area (non-cleanroom) by operating automated presses and stamping machines that punch and form small metal parts and components.\n Load materials into presses and stamping machines, monitor the processes, and safely remove finished parts from the machines once cycles are complete.\n Inspect stamped and pressed parts to ensure they meet specifications, identifying defects and performing deburring and filing to remove excess material when necessary.\n Use microscopes as needed in the housings area, potentially up to 50% of the day, to inspect and deburr small parts accurately.\n Alternate between standing for up to 8 hours and sitting for extended periods in the housings area, depending on daily production needs.\n Perform basic overall duties such as working with microscopes, using machines to aid assemblies, and handling parts approximately the size of a pen tip with care and precision.\n Assemble medical components and parts according to written work instructions, ensuring that each step is completed accurately and documented as required.\n Maintain cleanliness and organization at the workstation, especially in cleanroom areas, and follow all gowning and contamination-control procedures.\n Adhere to safety protocols at all times, including wearing required eye protection and steel-toed shoe covers in designated areas, and using available ear protection in louder environments if needed.\n Adapt to cross-training and rotation across multiple lines and departments, learning new processes and tasks as needed to support production demands.\n Collaborate with team members and supervisors to ensure production goals are met, quality standards are maintained, and any issues or defects are reported promptly.\n\nEssential Skills\n\n Demonstrated hand dexterity suitable for working with very small parts, including tasks comparable to sewing or other fine-motor activities.\n 4–6+ months of experience in medical manufacturing or working with small parts in a production or assembly environment.\n 4–6+ months of experience using microscopes in an assembly, inspection, or similar setting.\n Experience working in a cleanroom environment or willingness and ability to follow cleanroom protocols and gowning procedures.\n Ability to work with small hand tools such as tweezers, pliers, files, knives, and small wrenches with precision and control.\n Comfort working with parts approximately the size of a pen tip and performing repetitive, detailed tasks under magnification.\n Ability to read, understand, and follow written work instructions and travelers accurately.\n Comfort sitting or standing for up to 8 hours per day, with flexibility to alternate between sitting and standing as tasks require.\n Adaptability and willingness to be cross-trained on multiple lines and in multiple departments, including coiling, molding, CEA assembly, laser welding, and implantable housings.\n Mechanical aptitude, especially for roles in the housings area where working with machines, presses, and stamping equipment is required.\n Strong attention to detail and quality focus, particularly when performing inspection, deburring, and laser welding tasks.\n Ability to work in environments with varying noise levels and slight industrial odors, and to use safety equipment such as eye protection and steel-toed shoe covers.\n\nAdditional Skills & Qualifications\n\n Previous experience in medical device assembly, laser welding, coil winding, or microscope-based assembly is highly beneficial.\n Experience in cleanroom assembly, including familiarity with gowning procedures and contamination control, is an advantage.\n Experience with medical device manufacturing processes, including working with components for stents, catheters, leads, or implantable housings, is preferred.\n Prior exposure to working with automated presses, stamping machines, or other mechanical production equipment is helpful, especially in the housings area.\n Experience with activities that require fine hand coordination, such as sewing or crafts involving small components, can be a strong crossover skill.\n Comfort using microscopes for extended periods (up to 60% of a shift) to perform both inspection and assembly tasks.\n Ability to thrive in repetitive, process-driven work while maintaining consistent quality and focus.\n Willingness to move between cleanroom and non-cleanroom environments as business needs require.\n Openness to structured training programs and patient, step-by-step skill development across multiple production lines.\n\nWhy Work Here?\nThe facility offers a modern, well-maintained workspace with thoughtful amenities that support both comfort and wellness. Employees can enjoy a spacious lunch and break room with an on-site market for food, snacks, and drinks, as well as regular visits from food trucks over lunch. The organization emphasizes safety and recognizes good practices with a monthly safety drawing, giving employees the opportunity to be rewarded for their commitment to a safe workplace. Wellness is a priority, with team stretching breaks multiple times a day and walking trails available around the campus for use during breaks and lunch. Employees benefit from periodic perks such as free ice cream events and access to a shoe truck that offers discounted safety and steel-toed footwear for full-time staff. The company provides structured training in valuable medical device manufacturing skills and takes a patient, supportive approach to development, working with individuals to find the best fit within different areas when possible. The culture is described as diverse, financially stable, and employee-friendly, with a long-standing global heritage and a strong focus on supporting long-term careers.\nWork Environment\nThe work environment is a combination of cleanroom and non-cleanroom production areas within a very clean and well-maintained facility. Cleanroom positions require full gowning, including smocks, booties, hair nets, beard nets if applicable, and safety glasses, while still allowing makeup and jewelry in accordance with safety and cleanliness guidelines. In these areas, employees work with coil winding machines, molding equipment, laser welding machines, and various small hand tools, often under microscopes for significant portions of the day. Workstations are designed for both sitting and standing tasks, and employees must be comfortable spending entire shifts either seated or on their feet, depending on the process and area.\nNon-cleanroom roles, such as those in the implantable housings area, require safety glasses at all times and the use of steel-toed shoe covers due to the presence of presses, stamping machines, and other mechanical equipment. This area is louder than the cleanroom and has a slight oil smell, though it is not overwhelming and most employees adjust within about a week. Ear plugs are available for those who prefer additional noise protection. The work involves handling small metal components, operating automated equipment, and occasionally using microscopes for inspection and deburring.\nAcross all areas, the facility promotes a wellness-focused culture with an on-site wellness room, a workout facility, and a break room that includes recreational options such as a ping pong table. Walking trails around the building encourage movement during breaks. Dress in production areas must align with safety requirements; skirts are permitted as long as no skin is exposed, which can be achieved by wearing pants or leggings underneath. Head coverings such as hijabs are welcome, provided they are worn in an athletic style and tucked into shirts for safety. Overall, the environment blends precision manufacturing with a supportive, safety-conscious, and wellness-oriented workplace.Job Type & Location\nThis is a Contract to Hire position based out of Saint Paul, MN.Pay and Benefits\nThe pay range for this position is $19.00 - $19.53/hr.\nIndividual compensation offered for this position within this range will depend on many factors, including qualifications, skills, relevant experience, job knowledge, geographic location, internal equity, and other pertinent job-related factors.\nEligibility requirements apply to some benefits and may depend on your job classification and length of employment.
