Assembly Technician

The Assembly Technician plays a key role in assembling mechanical and electrical sub-assemblies and final products for a range of technical instruments. You will use common hand and light power tools, follow detailed drawings and manufacturing procedures, and perform light electrical assembly in a clean shop environment. As you gain experience and efficiency, you will take on more complex builds, support validation and calibration activities, and contribute to high-quality, on-time delivery of products.

• Assemble mechanical and electrical components to build technical instruments according to engineering drawings, specifications, and manufacturing procedures.
• Perform mechanical assembly of sub-assemblies and final products using hand tools, power tools, and measuring devices.
• Carry out light electrical assembly, including wiring and integration of electronic components.
• Perform electronic soldering of components for new instrument builds and for repairs as needed.
• Test assembled systems to verify proper operation and performance against specifications.
• Troubleshoot systems to detect, diagnose, and resolve technical problems that arise during or after assembly.
• Conduct visual inspections of components, sub-assemblies, and completed systems to ensure they meet quality standards.
• Perform repairs, adjustments, and calibrations on equipment to ensure accurate and reliable operation.
• Maintain accurate records of production data, test results, calibrations, and other assembly-related documentation.
• Collaborate with engineering, quality control, and production teams to support efficient and effective assembly processes.
• Follow established safety procedures and guidelines to maintain a safe work environment.
• Keep tools, equipment, and work areas clean, organized, and in good working condition.
• Support other miscellaneous duties and special projects as assigned to meet production and business needs.

• High School Diploma or equivalent.
