Electro-Mechanical Assembler (Rack System Integration / Test Equipment Builds)

Position Overview Our client is a leading global technology company specializing in advanced networking and communications systems. They are seeking a Mechanical Assembler (Rack System Integration / Test Equipment Builds) to support the integration and build of rack-mounted test equipment and electro-mechanical systems. This role focuses on assembling, wiring, and interconnecting instruments and modules within test enclosures in a lab or high-tech manufacturing environment. Key Responsibilities Assemble and integrate electronic instruments, modules, and sub-assemblies into rack-mounted test systems and enclosures. Install mechanical components such as brackets, housings, connectors, standoffs, and heat sinks. Perform cable assembly, soldering, and interconnect wiring between instruments within rack systems. Connect AC/DC power systems (110-220 VAC and 48VDC) in an unpowered state; verify with engineering support. Install and connect fiber optic cables between instruments (unpowered; engineering verification required). Execute test software to validate proper system assembly and functionality. Use hand tools and measurement equipment while following ESD and safety procedures. Inspect assemblies for quality, alignment, and completeness; document results and escalate issues as needed.
