• Strong attention to detail and a consistent commitment to producing high-quality work.
• Ability to follow written and verbal instructions accurately and reliably.
• Basic computer skills and willingness to learn ERP or production tracking systems.
• Effective verbal and written communication skills for working with cross-functional teams.
• Ability to work efficiently in a fast-paced, team-oriented manufacturing environment.
• Availability to work rotating shifts and periodic overtime as required.

• Experience performing detailed visual inspection of solder joints using magnification tools.
• Background in PCB assembly and soldering in accordance with manufacturing specifications.
• Comfort using a variety of hand tools and electronic assembly equipment.
• Experience applying IPC-A-610 workmanship criteria in daily production activities.
• Demonstrated ability to identify and document nonconforming materials and workmanship issues.
• Prior exposure to continuous improvement and corrective action processes in a manufacturing setting.
• Strong organizational skills to maintain a clean and efficient workstation.
• Proactive approach to learning new systems, tools, and processes in a production environment.

You join a collaborative manufacturing environment that values quality, safety, and continuous improvement, where your technical skills directly contribute to the success of the operation. The culture emphasizes teamwork, clear communication, and professional growth through exposure to industry standards, modern production practices, and cross-functional collaboration. Flexible scheduling through rotating shifts and overtime opportunities can provide additional experience and earning potential while supporting a strong work ethic and reliability.

This role is based in a manufacturing facility focused on electronic assembly and soldering work. You primarily work on the 2nd shift from 2:30 p.m. to 11:00 p.m., Monday through the week, with periodic overtime as needed to meet production demands. The environment is fast-paced and team-oriented, with close collaboration among production, quality, and engineering personnel. Work is performed at an electronics workstation using hand tools, soldering equipment, magnification devices, and ESD control measures to protect sensitive components.

Maintaining a clean, organized, and safe work area is expected at all times, in alignment with established safety,…
