  • Learn and gain proficiency in additional subsystems (minimum of 1–2) beyond primary assignments
  • Support troubleshooting efforts across assigned subsystems and related processes
  • Maintain accurate documentation for materials, parts used, processes, drawings, and concepts
  • Compile production and quality data to support reporting and decision-making
  • Execute testing protocols, document results, and support manufacturing phase-in of new products or changes
  • Identify safety concerns and assist with implementing corrective actions
  • Participate in continuous improvement initiatives and process studies
  • Operate within Kanban-based production environments

Qualifications

  • Minimum of 3 years of relevant manufacturing experience

Required Experience & Skills

  • Experience supporting manufacturing operations within a regulated environment (medical device or complex electromechanical capital equipment)
  • Hands-on experience with Good Documentation Practices (GDP) or equivalent regulated documentation standards
  • Electrical troubleshooting experience, including proper use of multimeters and oscilloscopes for diagnostics
  • Ability to perform multiple assembly and test operations while meeting quality, safety, and productivity standards
  • Demonstrated understanding of ESD/anti-static principles and controls
  • Minimum of 4 years’ experience as an assembler, tester, or manufacturing associate in regulated electromechanical manufacturing
  • Strong communication skills with the ability to collaborate cross-functionally
  • Willingness to learn, grow, and support evolving production needs
  • Ability to work overtime as required

Preferred Experience

  • Experience with Manufacturing Execution Systems (MES), ERP platforms, or PLM tools
  • Familiarity with systems such as SAP, QAD, Camstar, AGILE PLM, or Learning Management Systems
