Assemblers (Fiber Optic Small Assembly)

Hickory, NC

Overview

Are you detail-oriented with a steady hand? Join a leader in high-tech fiber optics! Onin Staffing is seeking Manufacturing Associates for a premier manufacturer of optical circuit technology. If you enjoy precision work, using high-tech equipment, and being part of a team that builds the backbone of global communications, we want to talk to you.

Why You'll Love Working Here
  • Day & Night Shift Options: 12 Hour Weekend shifts, Friday - Sunday
  • Cash Bonus: Receive a $500 bonus after your first 90 days on the job.
  • Climate Controlled: Work in a clean, comfortable, high-tech lab environment (no heavy grease or extreme heat).
  • Weekly Pay: Direct deposit or pay card—your money, your way
  • Affordable Health Benefits: $5 copays, $5 prescriptions, and FREE Telehealth after just 30 days

What You'll Do as a Manufacturing Associate
  • Precision Assembly: Use small hand tools and epoxies to build fiber optic components.

  • Quality Inspection: Use microscopes and digital gauges to ensure parts are perfect.
