Assembler

Job Title: Assembler

Job Description

This role focuses on assembling precision fiber cable components by measuring, cutting, and routing small colored wires into connectors according to detailed blueprints and work instructions. You will work with very small parts, use microscopes or projection scopes, and follow a defined process that includes epoxy application, curing, polishing, and final testing to ensure high-quality, reliable connections. This position is ideal for someone who enjoys hands-on, detail-oriented work in a clean room environment and wants to grow with a rapidly expanding operation.

Responsibilities

• Measure, cut, and place fiber cable into clips in accordance with specified work instructions and blueprints.

• Feed each colored wire through the connector in the precise order required, ensuring perfect accuracy and adherence to the specified sequence.

• Apply a small drop of epoxy to the wires and carefully pull them through to create a uniform coating over the entire surface of the wires.

• Place completed assemblies into curing devices to dry and set the epoxy coating according to defined process parameters.

• Run assemblies through a final polishing stage to achieve the required finish and performance standards.

• Test completed assemblies to verify that all connections function properly and meet quality and performance requirements.

• Use small hand tools, microscopes, and projection scopes to perform detailed assembly work on small components as needed.

• Follow clean room procedures and maintain a clean, organized work area to support high-quality production.

• Read and interpret blueprints, blown-up work instructions, and production documentation to complete assemblies accurately.

• Collaborate with team members and leadership to identify process improvements and suggest changes that can make the assembly process smoother, faster, and more efficient.

• Adapt to evolving processes and workflows as the new division grows and matures, supporting continuous improvement efforts.

• Communicate clearly with supervisors and colleagues regarding production status, issues, and quality concerns.

Essential Skills

• 6 months to 1+ year of manufacturing experience, specifically with assembly of small parts or medical device assembly.

• Ability to work with very small components using small hand tools and precision equipment.

• Strong written and verbal communication skills to follow instructions and document work accurately.

• Ability to accurately distinguish and see color, ensuring each colored wire is placed in the correct order.

• Experience working under a microscope or the ability and comfort to perform detailed tasks using a microscope or projection scope.

• Capability to read and follow blueprints and work instructions for assembly processes.

• High attention to detail and commitment to accuracy when handling delicate wiring and epoxy application.

• Comfort working in a clean room environment and following established procedures.

Additional Skills & Qualifications

• Experience with guidewire, catheter, or wire assembly in a production or medical assembly setting.

• Experience in electronics assembly or medical assembly environments.

• Familiarity with clean room assembly practices, even if full clean room attire is not required.

• Experience in production environments that require testing and quality verification of assembled components.

• Interest in contributing to process improvements and supporting a rapidly growing division.

Why Work Here?

You will join a small, growing team in a new division, offering significant opportunity for rapid advancement into lead, supervisory, quality, and other roles as the operation expands. The organization is committed to supporting employees and their families with comprehensive benefits designed to promote physical, financial, and emotional well-being, including medical, dental, vision, flexible spending and health savings accounts, life insurance, disability coverage, retirement plans, paid vacation and time off, educational assistance, and potential benefits such as infertility assistance, paid parental leave, and adoption assistance, subject to eligibility. The culture emphasizes flexibility, worklife balance, and creating a work environment where individual needs and business needs align to deliver superior results.

Work Environment

This position is based in a brand-new, recently renovated facility that continues to receive upgrades and improvements on a regular basis. The role is part of a new division that is just starting up, with a small team expected to grow rapidly to nearly 100 people within the next 69 months. Early team members should expect some initial process unstructuredness and will play an active role in shaping and refining workflows, helping to make processes smoother, quicker, and more effective. The work area is a clean room environment that does not require full clean room dress; there are no restrictions on clothing, jewelry, or perfumes, and a business casual appearance is appropriate. Assemblers/operators wear a smock over their clothing as the primary attire requirement. Gloves and safety glasses are available and provided if chosen, though they are not currently required for the assemblies being produced. Work is performed using small hand tools, microscopes, and projection scopes for precision assembly. The standard schedule is a first-shift, four-day workweek from Monday through Thursday, 5:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m., with Fridays used for overtime if needed.
