Role Summary This role performs hands-on assembly of electronic and mechanical assemblies in a classified production environment within the Antenna Integration Factory (AIF) at the McKinney, TX site. Assembly operations include both production and development/prototype units. The assembly technician will work directly with engineering on production builds and rework tasks. This position is working on-site at our McKinney, TX site, working 2nd Shift. Overtime may be required on occasion. What You Will Do Perform hands-on assembly of electronic and mechanical assemblies in a classified production environment. Work is performed using detailed work instructions with accompanying photographs - attention to detail and strict adherence to documented procedures are essential. Clock into the production tracking system, participating in tier meetings for task assignment, drawing parts kits and sub-assemblies, reviewing work instructions, checking out calibrated torque tools, and gathering required consumables. Visual inspections prior to installation of all parts and sub-assemblies. Some inspections require the use of a microscope or magnifying glass; most are a quick visual check for damage, defects, or nonconformance. Assemble tasks including: wire routing, connector mating, bracket installation using feeler gauges, and installation of sub-assemblies into the main assembly. Nearly all fasteners require thread-locking compound and torque to specification. Work is currently performed with manual torque drivers and wrenches. Perform work at both seated workstations and standing positions throughout the shift. Assemblies are built at workstations or using automated bonding machines (SFD). As proficiency develops, technicians will be assigned rework operations - removal and replacement of sub-assemblies on units that have failed testing. Rework requires a higher level of understanding of the build process and work instructions, as the sequence does not follow a linear start-to-finish flow. After all work and rework operations are completed, a visual inspection of the affected areas must be performed before the unit is moved forward in the production queue. Document all work in the appropriate production system as each operation is completed. When errors, discrepancies, or issues are identified during the build, technicians are expected to stop work and bring the issue to their supervisor and supporting engineer immediately.
