Assembler, Manufacturing ​/ Production

Assembly/Cable Assembly Technician

This role focuses on building cable assemblies from scratch in a fast-paced Cable Cell area using a batching method for cutting, stripping, crimping, and soldering wires. You rotate through multiple stations, perform both manual and machine-assisted tasks, and contribute to the production of medical instruments in a clean, well-organized, and regulated environment.

• Build cable assemblies from scratch according to blueprints, standard operating procedures (SOPs), and work travelers.
• Work in a batching process, performing one primary operation at a time such as cutting, stripping, crimping, or soldering large batches of wires before passing them to the next station.
• Rotate between different stations including cutting, stripping, crimping, and soldering (once certified), ensuring flexibility and cross-training across all cable cell operations.
• Perform wire cutting, wire stripping, cable crimping, and cable harness assembly using both manual techniques and small machines at designated stations.
• Carry out mechanical assembly and electronic assembly tasks related to medical instruments and cable harnesses.
• Use hand tools and torque wrenches accurately to assemble components and secure connections to specified torque values.
• Read and interpret blueprints, SOPs, and documentation to ensure assemblies meet quality and regulatory requirements.
• Follow detailed work instructions, maintain accurate documentation, and update travelers and computer systems as required.
• Apply strong attention to detail to inspect work for defects, verify correct parts and orientation, and ensure cables meet IPC and internal quality standards.
• Perform soldering tasks in accordance with IPC-610 and IPC-620 standards once appropriate solder certifications are obtained or verified.
• Operate computers and related software to access build plans, documentation, and training materials, and to record production information.
• Adhere to all safety, quality, and regulatory guidelines in a medical device manufacturing environment.
• Wear required PPE, including an ESD smock, and follow ESD handling procedures to protect sensitive electronic components.
• Support continuous improvement initiatives by following new training programs, providing feedback, and adopting updated processes and tools.
• Be available for occasional overtime, including up to two Saturdays per month or extended Friday shifts if the schedule transitions to a Monday–Thursday model.

• Experience working with cables and wires, including cutting, stripping, crimping, and assembling cable harnesses.
• Hands-on soldering experience or strong interest in learning soldering in a production environment.
• Ability to read and follow blueprints, SOPs, and detailed documentation accurately.
• Proficiency using hand tools and torque wrenches for mechanical and electronic assembly work.
• Comfort working with computers to access build plans, documentation, and training materials.
• Strong attention to detail and commitment to producing high-quality, consistent work.
• Ability to work efficiently in a fast-paced, batch-oriented production environment.
• Willingness to rotate between different stations and tasks rather than performing the same operation every day.
• Reliability and flexibility to support occasional overtime, including some Saturdays or extended Fridays as needed.
• Ability to follow regulated manufacturing processes for medical instruments and adhere to strict quality and safety standards.

• IPC-610 and IPC-620 soldering certifications are preferred but not required; certification can be obtained through the employer's training program.
• Experience in medical device or medical assembly environments is a plus.
• Familiarity with cable harness assembly, wire stripping, wire cutting, and cable crimping processes.
• Comfort working with travelers and other production documentation tools.
• Ability to work while wearing an ESD smock and following ESD-safe handling procedures.
• Openness to comprehensive training programs, including working from training binders and receiving in-the-moment feedback.
• Strong communication skills to interact…
