Why Work Here?

The organization promotes teamwork, open communication, and continuous improvement, encouraging employees to share ideas and help refine procedures. Comprehensive benefits, including medical, dental, and vision coverage, support your overall well-being. The small-team environment in a new department allows you to build strong working relationships, have your contributions recognized, and grow your skills in a specialized cleanroom and medical device manufacturing setting.

Work Environment

This is a 2nd shift position, typically scheduled from 2:00 p.m. to 10:30 p.m., Monday through Friday, with potential overtime on weekdays or Saturdays based on production needs.

You must fully gown and degown when entering or leaving the cleanroom, and you coordinate with the lead before taking water or restroom breaks to accommodate these procedures. The environment emphasizes cleanliness, organization, and compliance with quality system (QS) and Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) requirements. Work involves using basic production equipment, hand tools, power tools, and inspection tools such as microscopes, as well as handling medical device components and packaging materials.
