• Read and interpret technical drawings, blueprints, and wiring schematics to ensure accurate assembly
• Conduct in-process inspections, including torque verification, electrical continuity checks, and component alignment
• Identify and resolve assembly issues; escalate complex problems as needed
• Collaborate with Quality to address defects and perform basic root cause analysis
• Contribute to process improvements, including workflow, station layout, and material handling
• Participate in Lean Manufacturing and continuous improvement initiatives (e.g., Kaizen events)
• Support cross-functional teams by providing feedback to Engineering (design for manufacturability) and Supply Chain (material discrepancies)
• Train and mentor entry-level technicians, reinforcing standard work practices and safety compliance
• Accurately document work performed in ERP or shop-floor systems

Required Qualifications

• Working knowledge of quality standards, including torque specifications and electrical testing
• Ability to work independently and collaboratively in a team environment
• Strong problem-solving skills and attention to detail

Preferred Qualifications

• Technical certification in mechanical, electrical, or related field
• Experience with ERP or manufacturing data systems
• Familiarity with Lean Manufacturing principles or ISO quality standards

Physical & Work Environment

• Frequent standing, bending, and lifting up to 50 lbs
• Regular use of hand tools, power tools, and testing equipment
• Exposure to shop conditions, including noise, moving machinery, and occasional chemicals/solvents
• PPE required in designated areas

Schedule & Compensation

• Schedule: Monday–Thursday, 6:30 a.m. – 5:00 p.m.; Friday (4-hour shift, as needed)
