• Interpret basic blueprints or diagrams to understand component placement and assembly requirements when applicable.
• Collaborate with team members in a flexible, “wear many hats” environment, taking ownership of tasks and supporting different areas such as machine shop, lab, and general assembly when needed.
• Follow safety, cleanliness, and quality standards at all times to support a highly organized and research-focused environment.

• At least 1 year of experience in small-part assembly, working with fine, detailed components.
• Minimum of 3 months of experience performing assembly work using a microscope.

• Ability to interpret simple blueprints or diagrams related to assembly work.

• Prior cleanroom experience is a plus.
• Inspection or packaging experience is an advantage.
• Wire bonding experience is a strong plus and may support growth into more advanced technical roles.
• Soldering experience, particularly in medical or electronic assembly, is beneficial.
• Familiarity with electro-mechanical assembly processes is helpful.
• Comfort working in an R&D-oriented environment where processes may evolve.
• Ability to work independently, take initiative, and perform well without constant supervision.
• Strong team mindset and willingness to support multiple areas, including machine shop, lab, and general assembly, as needed.

You will join an extremely clean, organized, and research-focused environment that offers a strong family-oriented culture and a genuine commitment to promoting from within. The organization is expanding into new markets, providing abundant growth opportunities into technical and lead roles. Employees receive 60% paid medical and dental benefits, 2–3 weeks of vacation depending on experience, additional PTO, and 9 paid holidays. The culture encourages ownership, flexibility, and initiative, allowing you to develop your skills and advance your career in a supportive, team-focused setting.

The work takes place in an exceptionally clean, organized facility with a strong R&D feel, led by a highly technical leadership team. The environment includes a machine shop area, cleanroom, lab area, and general assembly area, all maintained to high cleanliness standards and generally quiet. You will work in a cleanroom X-ray area and may move between different production and lab spaces depending on needs. The culture emphasizes wearing many hats, taking ownership of tasks, and contributing to a flexible, team-oriented atmosphere where initiative is valued. Work is performed on a first shift with flexible start times—typically between 6:00 a.m. and 9:00 a.m.—with 8-hour shifts and a preference for a consistent schedule.
