- Assemble small components requiring a high level of manual dexterity
- Follow work instructions, drawings, and established procedures
- Visually inspect your own work and flag parts that don't meet spec
- Record production data and complete basic documentation
- Maintain a clean, organized work area and follow all safety requirements
- Work with production, quality, and engineering to resolve issues on the floor
WHAT YOU NEED
- Hands-on soldering experience, OR assembly experience with small precision components
- Strong manual dexterity and steady hands; comfortable working with very small parts
- Ability to follow detailed written and verbal instructions
- Attention to detail and a quality-first mindset
- Reliable attendance and the ability to work independently after training
NICE TO HAVE (not required - we will train the right person)
- Soldering experience in electronics, medical device, or defense manufacturing
- Familiarity with IPC-A-610 or J-STD-001 soldering standards
- Experience with potting, epoxy, or encapsulation processes
- Prior work in an ISO 9001 certified facility
- Experience with ceramics, sensors, transducers, or other small electronic components
WHY THIS ROLE
- Consistent Monday-Friday day schedule with a flexible start time - no rotating shifts, no weekends
- Climate-controlled, seated bench work in a clean facility
- Work on parts that go into real defense and medical applications
- Local to Bellefonte, State College, Pleasant Gap, Milesburg, and Centre Hall - short commute
