Weekend Shift Assembly Technician

** Weekend Shift Assembly Technician*
* Location:

Boulder, CO

Pay: $22-$26/hour (DOE)

Type:
Temp-to-Hire

** Shift Available*
* - Friday-Sunday: 6:00 AM - 6:30 PM

** About the Role*
* As an Assembly Technician, you'll assemble precision optical, electronic, and mechanical components used in advanced laser systems. This is a hands-on, detail-driven role that spans both component and sub-system level builds. You'll perform optical alignment, bonding, metrology, and cleanroom-based assembly tasks while following exacting specifications. The work is well suited for someone with strong fine motor control, a quality mindset, and a commitment to clean, process-focused manufacturing.

** What You'll Do*
* - Assemble optical components, electronics, and mechanical parts into complex laser system assemblies

- Perform optical assembly and alignment techniques, including adhesive dispensing, curing, and shimming

- Use robotic dispensing equipment and adjust speed, timing, or output to meet clearance and quality requirements

- Assemble optomechanical subassemblies following written procedures and required documentation

- Conduct optical metrology measurements, including surface figure, transmitted wavefront error, and dimensional and angular checks

- Follow cleanroom practices, maintain contamination-free work areas, and use ultrasonic and cleanline cleaning equipment

- Check all work thoroughly prior to sign-off

- Power down equipment and return tools, components, and paperwork to designated storage locations

- Record process data accurately on process sheets and in computer systems

- Follow torque limiting tool procedures and ESD handling practices

- Support department cleanliness and organization

- Occasionally work overtime or alternate shifts to support shipping schedules

- Perform additional duties as assigned

** What You Bring*
* - 3+ years of manufacturing or assembly experience; optics or laser systems exposure preferred

- High School Diploma or GED preferred; technical degree or certificate highly preferred

- Strong manual dexterity and fine motor control when handling sensitive optics

- Excellent hand-eye coordination and comfort working with finished surfaces

- Ability to follow detailed instructions precisely and consistently

- Familiarity with Windows operating systems and basic computer usage

- Strong attention to detail, documentation accuracy, and process discipline

** Why This Role Stands Out*
* You'll work hands-on with cutting-edge laser and optical technologies in a precision-focused manufacturing environment. The team emphasizes quality, consistency, and continuous improvement, with clear opportunities for skill development and long-term career growth. Consistent shifts and meaningful technical work make this a strong opportunity for someone looking to deepen their experience in advanced photonics manufacturing.
