Self-motivation with the ability to work independently once trained, as well as collaboratively with others. Job Summary This role supports electronic production manufacturing in a light industrial, general assembly environment. You will perform routine production tasks such as testing, inspection, light assembly, machine operation, and packaging to help meet customer deadlines and production goals. The position offers structured training, close supervision, and clear performance metrics, making it an excellent opportunity for both experienced production workers and motivated entry-level candidates who want to build a long-term career in manufacturing. Responsibilities Support production manufacturing activities to ensure customer deadlines and production goals are met. Perform testing, inspection, light assembly, machine operation, and packaging tasks according to detailed work instructions. Follow established policies, procedures, and quality standards, seeking approval for any deviations. Acquire job skills and learn company policies and procedures to complete routine tasks accurately and efficiently. Work on routine assignments that require limited judgment, following clear instructions and close supervision. Use hand tools and follow blueprints or work instructions to complete electronic assembly tasks, including through-hole or surface mount soldering when applicable. Meet individual throughput and productivity goals while maintaining high quality and minimizing scrap or rework. Monitor your own work to ensure it meets quality standards and customer specifications and escalate issues to supervisors when needed. Accurately document work as required using basic computer programs, including simple navigation, basic Excel for documentation, and Outlook for communication. Adapt to changes in work plans, priorities, and decisions, and support improvement initiatives such as 5S and other productivity or efficiency enhancements. Look for opportunities to improve work processes, quality, and efficiency, and contribute ideas to reduce waste. Work cooperatively within a team and cross-functional teams, openly sharing information, knowledge, and experience with co-workers. Maintain a calm and level temperament in a fast-paced or stressful environment while meeting production metrics. Demonstrate a great attitude, flexibility, and willingness to help in other departments as needed. Follow all quality policy guidelines and adhere to regulatory compliance requirements. Lift components up to approximately 20-25 pounds and perform repetitive assembly tasks, such as connecting hose-like components by hand. Sit and/or stand during the 10-12 hour night shift as needed, understanding that standing will be required for portions of the shift. Essential Skills Previous electronic manufacturing experience, including either through-hole or surface mount soldering, is preferred.

One or more years of related production, manufacturing, or electronic assembly experience is preferred; an equivalent combination of education and experience may be considered. Additional Skills & Qualifications Experience in electronic assembly, general production, or light industrial manufacturing.

The facility employs hundreds of permanent staff, offering a structured, professional setting focused on electronic production. Work is light industrial/general assembly, with typical lifting limited to approximately 20-25 pounds and repetitive hand-assembly tasks similar to connecting hose-like components.
