We are seeking motivated Engineering Technicians to support assembly operations in a newly expanded manufacturing area focused on power distribution units (PDUs), DataBar systems, and cable assemblies. This is a hands-on manufacturing floor role — not a design position — ideal for candidates with strong communication skills, manufacturing experience, and a passion for problem-solving in a fast-paced environment.


Job Duties:

  • Assist in developing and improving assembly processes for new or modified products.
  • Participate in creating assembly instructions and work procedures for production teams.
  • Help identify opportunities for process optimization during new product introductions.
  • Serve as the first point of escalation for assembly-related issues on the floor.
  • Work closely with assemblers to diagnose problems and drive corrective actions.
  • Collaborate with Materials, Quality, and Test Engineering departments to resolve production challenges.
  • Monitor assembly quality and performance, ensuring products meet specifications and standards.
  • Provide on-the-job training to assemblers as needed and support continuous improvement efforts.

Qualifications:

  • 2+ years of relevant experience with an Associate degree, or
  • 5+ years of relevant manufacturing experience without a degree
  • Associate degree in a technical or manufacturing discipline preferred.
  • Strong interpersonal and communication skills; able to work collaboratively across departments.
  • Proficient with Microsoft Office (Excel, Word, Outlook).
  • Basic familiarity with CAD software (AutoCAD, SolidWorks, Inventor, etc.) for viewing and interpreting drawings.
  • Solid understanding of manufacturing and assembly processes.
  • Demonstrated ability to troubleshoot and solve problems effectively on the production floor.

Qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to race, color, age, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, disability, protected veteran status, or genetic information.
