• Identify and resolve basic assembly issues using established troubleshooting techniques to maintain smooth production flow.
• Participate in technical discussions related to product and POC assembly processes, providing input on issues and improvements.

• Strong teamwork skills and a collaborative approach to supporting different departments as needed.

Why Work Here?

You will join a growing manufacturing organization that offers long-term stability and clear opportunities for advancement. The production team has a history of strong tenure, and anticipated growth over the next several years, combined with upcoming retirements, creates room for motivated employees to move into new roles and take on greater responsibility. The addition of new departments, including fiber-related operations, provides the chance to be cross-trained in multiple disciplines, expand your skill set, and build a diverse technical experience. The company emphasizes skill development, internal growth, and a supportive environment where employees can build lasting careers.

Work Environment

The role is based in a very clean, temperature-controlled manufacturing facility designed for comfort and precision work. All departments operate within their own lab or cleanroom-style areas, supporting high-quality production and a professional atmosphere. You will work with hand tools, hand presses, small machines, and machine/human interfaces as part of daily assembly tasks.
