Schedule: Monday–Friday, 7:00 AM–3:30 PM

Position: Contract

About the Role

We are seeking a detail‑oriented Mechanical Assembler to support the final assembly of low‑volume, complex electronic products. In this role, you will work at a dedicated assembly station installing final panels on small electronic assemblies, performing basic quality checks, and preparing materials for upcoming builds. Success in this role requires hands‑on experience with small electronic components, strong attention to detail, and the ability to follow standard operating procedures (SOPs) precisely while working across multiple product variations.

This is an excellent opportunity to build specialized experience in a clean, quiet electronics manufacturing environment focused on precision and quality.

Key Responsibilities

• Assemble and install final panels on commercial off‑the‑shelf (COTS) electronic boards using hand drills and other basic hand tools
• Perform basic quality inspections on boards as they move through production equipment, identifying visible defects or issues
• Read, understand, and consistently follow detailed SOPs to ensure accurate and repeatable assembly
• Prepare materials for upcoming builds, including organizing components and ensuring feeders and workstations are ready
• Support other areas of the production floor as needed, assisting with additional assembly or value‑added tasks
• Adapt to a variety of COTS product configurations and changing assembly requirements
• Use downtime productively by preparing materials, planning upcoming work based on SOPs, and assisting teammates
• Lift and load materials (up to approximately 20 lbs) into feeders or equipment as required
• Maintain a clean, organized, and safe workstation and handle tools and equipment responsibly
• Communicate clearly with team members and follow production documentation to meet quality and throughput goals

Required Qualifications

• Minimum 2 years of mechanical assembly experience with small electronic components or electronics‑related products
• Demonstrated experience assembling small, precision parts (not large construction or furniture assemblies)
• At least 2 years of experience reading and following SOPs in a manufacturing or production environment
• Hands‑on experience using hand drills and similar hand tools in an assembly setting
• Ability to perform basic quality checks and recognize visible defects on electronic assemblies
• Ability to stand for extended periods and lift materials up to approximately 20 lbs
• Strong attention to detail, accuracy, and consistency when working with small parts
• Ability to work independently at a dedicated station while collaborating effectively with a production team

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience in an electronics manufacturing environment
• Familiarity with COTS electronic products and variation‑driven assembly work
• Comfort with surface‑mount technology (SMT) processes and solder‑related tasks
• Ability to remain productive during downtime by preparing materials, assembling other components, or planning work based on SOPs
• Experience working in low‑volume, high‑complexity manufacturing environments

Why Work Here?

You’ll be part of a clean, quiet, and well‑organized electronics manufacturing facility where precision and focus matter. Our team values professionalism, collaboration, and quality workmanship. We offer:

• Stable weekday schedule
• Free on‑site parking
• A calm, odor‑free environment designed for detailed, focused work
• Opportunities to build specialized skills on complex, low‑volume electronic products used in demanding applications
