What are the responsibilities and job description for the Assembly Technician position at Guidedwave?
About the role
Guidedwave develops long-range ultrasonic inspection technology, and much of what we build is small-batch or one-of-a-kind. As our Assembly Technician, you'll work side by side with our engineers and machinists to turn designs into working transducers and inspection equipment — assembling, finishing, and testing hardware that goes out to real customers.
This is an entry-level role. If you're mechanically inclined, careful with your hands, and like learning new tools, we'll train you on the rest.
What you'll do
- Assemble mechanical and electrical components for commercial products and engineering prototypes
- Read engineering drawings and follow written procedures and verbal instructions, especially on custom builds
- Run and maintain shop equipment, including 3D printers, a CNC laser, and a waterjet cutter
- Mask and coat machined parts with Cerakote and powder coat
- Test finished ultrasonic inspection equipment
- Keep parts and hardware inventory records accurate, and work with purchasing so materials arrive on time
- Suggest improvements to assembly procedures with the engineering team
- Follow quality control and safety practices
What you need
- High school diploma or equivalent
- Comfortable using hand and power tools
- Basic computer skills
- Strong attention to detail and clear communication, both verbal and written
Nice to have (we'll train you if you don't have it)
- Soldering under a microscope
- Laser engraving or 3D printing software
- Cerakote or powder coat application
- Any shop, assembly, or electronics experience
