  • Mechanical aptitude (auto mechanics, medical assembly, or similar experience)
  • Familiarity with calipers, micrometers, and soldering techniques
  • Experience in mechanical repair or light assembly

Why You’ll Love Working Here

  • Competitive pay with weekly paychecks
  • Quarterly bonuses after your first year
  • Comprehensive benefits package including:
    • Medical, dental, and vision insurance
    • 401(k) with company match
    • Flexible Spending Account (FSA) & Health Savings Account (HSA)
    • Paid time off (PTO) and holidays
    • Tuition reimbursement for career development
  • Clear paths for career advancement into specialized assembly roles

Work Environment

  • Climate-controlled, clean manufacturing facility
  • Bench assembly of mechanical brakes, gear motors, and drives

  • Gloves and protective gear provided for safe handling of oils and adhesives
