Electronics Assembler
This role focuses on building custom electrical equipment and assemblies for agricultural products, including wiring, high-voltage work, and integration of pumps, VFD drives, and hydraulic components. You will perform hands-on electrical and electronic assembly, from wire pulling and hand wiring to testing and verification, while interpreting blueprints and schematics to ensure accurate and reliable builds.
Responsibilities
- Assemble custom electrical equipment and components according to blueprints, schematics, and work instructions.
- Perform electrical assembly tasks, including wire pulling, hand wiring, and routing of wire harnesses and cable assemblies.
- Work with pumps, variable frequency drives (VFDs), hydraulics, and related electrical and mechanical components as part of the assembly process.
- Carry out high-voltage electrical work safely and in accordance with established procedures and standards.
- Use hand tools and power tools to assemble electrical and mechanical components, panels, and subassemblies.
- Measure, cut, strip, crimp, and terminate wires and cables using appropriate tools and techniques.
- Verify proper torque on terminal blocks, VFD lugs, and other connections using torque screwdrivers or torque wrenches.
- Use test equipment such as multimeters to check voltage, continuity, and resistance, and perform basic diagnostics on assemblies.
- Assist with insulation testing of motors and VFD cables using appropriate resistance testing equipment when required.
- Read and interpret blueprints, electrical schematics, and wiring diagrams to ensure accurate component placement and wiring.
- Support mechanical aspects of assembly, including panel layout, component spacing, conduit work, and hose cutting as needed.
- Maintain a clean, organized, and safe work area while following all safety guidelines and procedures.
- Lift, move, and position components and assemblies weighing up to 50 lbs and perform tasks that require standing, bending, and twisting throughout the shift.
- Collaborate with team members and supervisors to resolve assembly issues and continuously improve build quality and efficiency.
Essential Skills
- Electrical experience and knowledge of electrical components, including practical, hands-on assembly work.
- Proven ability to read and interpret blueprints or electrical schematics.
- Experience building or assembling electrical equipment or components from start to finish.
- Electrical wiring experience, including routing, terminating, and securing wires and harnesses.
- Proficiency using hand tools and power tools for assembly work.
- Familiarity with electronics and electrical assembly processes, including wire pulling and wire harness assembly.
- Ability to perform high-voltage electrical work safely and follow established safety practices.
- Capability to lift up to 50 lbs and to stand, bend, and twist throughout the shift.
- Comfort working in a warehouse or light manufacturing environment on agricultural-related products.
Additional Skills & Qualifications
- Experience using a multimeter for measuring voltage, continuity, and resistance.
- Exposure to resistance testing equipment for motor and VFD cable insulation testing.
- Familiarity with oscilloscopes for signal diagnostics in bench work environments.
- Experience using torque screwdrivers or torque wrenches to properly tighten terminal blocks and VFD lugs.
- Skill with precision screwdrivers for work on small electronics and control boards.
- Proficiency with crimping tools for ferrules, ring terminals, and spade terminals.
- Experience with adjustable gauge wire strippers, cable cutters for copper and aluminum, and cable benders.
- Ability to use calipers or micrometers for checking component spacing and panel layouts.
- Experience with conduit work and related tools.
- Familiarity with pneumatic screwdrivers, standard screwdrivers, and cutting tools for tasks such as cutting rubber hose.
- Experience in mechanical assembly or light mechanical work alongside electrical assembly.
- Experience working with wire harnesses and wire harness assembly in an industrial or manufacturing setting.
