Every component our team builds has a purpose.

We’re looking for a Mechanical Assembler I to join our Ramsey, NJ team. In this hands-on role, you’ll build high-quality, precision equipment from the ground up — working from blueprints and technical drawings to assemble components and subassemblies that meet exacting quality standards. If you take pride in craftsmanship and want to contribute to something bigger than the parts you assemble, we want to hear from you.

• Assemble mechanical components and subassemblies into precision finished equipment
• Read and interpret blueprints, schematics, bills of materials, and work instructions
• Use hand tools and precision measuring instruments (calipers, gauges, micrometers)
• Inspect and verify that completed assemblies meet quality standards and dimensional tolerances
• Identify, document, and escalate assembly discrepancies or non-conformances
• Support functional testing and troubleshooting of assembled units
• Maintain accurate build records, traveler documentation, and assembly logs
• Keep workstation organized, clean, and compliant with all safety protocols

• 1+ years of mechanical assembly or comparable hands-on manufacturing experience preferred
• Ability to read technical drawings and follow detailed written work instructions
• Strong attention to detail and a quality-first mindset
• Basic math skills — measurements, tolerances, and conversions
• Comfortable using hand tools and precision measuring equipment
• Team-oriented with solid communication skills and a solutions mindset

High School Diploma or equivalent required. Vocational or technical training in a related field is a plus.
