Assembler Jobs in Houston, TX

The Mission

We are looking for an Electronics Assembler / PCB Assembly Technician who takes pride in doing their job extremely well, every time. This role is for someone who understands that highly reliable hardware is built through consistency, discipline, and attention to detail—not shortcuts.

We are a startup developing next-generation pulsed-power systems for defense and industrial applications. Operating at the cutting edge of technology requires a production team capable of delivering consistently high-quality hardware at scale. This role is a critical part of that effort.

The Role

You will work on the production line assembling and testing electronic assemblies across multiple products, following defined work instructions and quality standards. This is hands-on, detail-focused work where consistency, accuracy, and throughput all matter.

While the work is production-oriented, it is not limited to a single part or task. You will be expected to learn and master multiple builds and test procedures, execute them reliably, and help ensure every unit that leaves the line meets Lunar's quality and performance standards.

This role is execution-focused rather than experimental; designs are controlled and processes are defined. Success in this position comes from discipline, attention to detail, and the ability to repeatedly produce and verify high-quality hardware.

You will support the team in:

Production Assembly

• Repeated assembly of the same PCB and electronic subassemblies
• Hand soldering of SMT and through-hole components to defined standards
• Following controlled build instructions and process steps

Quality & Consistency

• Performing in-process inspections and visual checks
• Identifying defects, anomalies, or drift before they propagate
• Stopping the line and escalating issues when something is not right

Production Discipline

• Maintaining ESD-safe, clean, and organized workstations
• Recording build completion and process data as required
• Supporting yield, rework reduction, and continuous improvement

Who You Are

• You take pride in repetition: You understand that doing the same task well, hundreds of times, is a skill—not a weakness.
• You are detail-driven: You notice small variations and correct them before they become failures.
• You are process-oriented: You follow instructions closely and speak up when something doesn't match the work order.
• You have grit: You can stay focused, patient, and consistent during long production runs.
• You want to be part of something real: You care that what you build works in the field.

The Technical Stack (The “Wishlist”)

We don't expect you to know everything on day one. Training will be provided. Experience with the following is a plus:

• Production-line electronics assembly
• Hand soldering (SMT and through-hole)
• IPC-A-610 familiarity or certification
• Visual inspection and workmanship standards
• Experience in regulated or high-reliability manufacturing environments

Why Join Us?

• Your work ships: The parts you build go into real systems.
• Clear expectations: Defined processes, clear standards, and measurable quality.
• Stability with purpose: Production work that supports cutting-edge engineering.
• Opportunity to grow: Strong performers can move into lead, quality, or training roles.

Note: Due to the nature of our work, candidates must be U.S. Citizens or Permanent Residents (Green Card holders) to comply with ITAR/EAR regulations.

QUESTIONS

• Describe a time when you were asked to work with a machine, process, or material you had little or no prior experience with. How did you approach learning it, and what was the result?
• Tell us about a part, assembly, or job you were especially proud of producing or operating. What made it challenging, and how did you ensure it met quality standards
• Give an example of a time you noticed a problem, risk, or opportunity for improvement in the shop and acted without being asked. What did you do?
• Tell us about a time a job didn't go as planned. What did you do, and what did you change going forward?
• What kind of work environment helps you do your best work, and what makes a day feel productive to you?
• If you finish assigned work early, what do you typically do next
