We are hiring a Sensor Element Fabricator to join our specialized winding room team the first and most critical step in our sensor manufacturing process.

In this precision assembly and production operator role, you will fabricate the wire-wound ceramic elements at the core of every RTD temperature sensor we make. This is hands-on, detail-oriented work performed under a microscope using specialized equipment. No prior experience in wire winding or sensor manufacturing is required we provide comprehensive in-house training. A background in manufacturing, assembly, or production work is a plus.

WHAT YOULL DO

• Operate a specialized wire winding machine under a microscope to precisely wind platinum wire onto ceramic tubes the foundational step in RTD temperature sensor fabrication
• Use diamond wheel cutting equipment to cut ceramic tubes to specified lengths with precision
• Perform a high-temperature glassing process using an industrial furnace to coat and seal ceramic sensor elements
• Complete small-part assembly operations, including attaching palladium wire connections to finished wire-wound ceramic elements
• Use hand tools including tweezers, micro cutters, and heat guns to handle and prepare miniature components throughout the fabrication process
• Read and interpret blueprints and work orders; use dimensional measuring equipment to inspect finished elements for quality and dimensional accuracy
• Document production output and log completed work orders to support traceability and scheduling across the manufacturing process
• Work collaboratively within a small winding room team to meet daily production targets and communicate with downstream assembly departments on schedules and custom part requirements
