• Read and interpret wiring diagrams, schematics, engineering drawings, and assembly instructions.
• Install, connect, and torque components and assemblies to required specifications.
• Perform hands-on tasks such as drilling, tapping, reaming, and crimping.
• Inspect assemblies, perform crimp pull tests, and help resolve production issues.
• Work with engineering and production teams to troubleshoot challenges and recommend improvements.
• Follow online work instructions, maintain accurate production records, and verify bills of materials.
• Help manage inventory, organize work priorities, and support on-time product delivery.
• Assist with training and guiding other assemblers when needed.
• Follow established quality standards and safety procedures, including when working outdoors or at heights.

What We’re Looking For

• Comfortable working on large structures, lifting heavy components, and using ladders or manlifts when required.
• A positive, team-oriented attitude and commitment to quality and safety.
• Experience with industrial equipment, automation systems, large machinery, or complex equipment integration is especially valuable.

Why Consider This Opportunity?

• Flexible first shift:
  Typical hours are around 6:00 a.m.– 2:30 p.m., with some flexibility in start and end times.
• Hands-on technical work:
  Build large, sophisticated equipment while developing your electromechanical assembly skills.
