What You’ll Be Doing: 

As an Assembly Technician, you’ll be the mastermind behind building and testing precision optical systems and sub-assemblies that make a real impact. Working hands-on with intricate components in a cleanroom environment, you’ll prep hardware, align systems to perfection, and perform detailed tests to ensure everything meets top-notch quality standards. Think of it as solving puzzles with cutting-edge tools while following blueprints and written procedures to bring prototypes and production assemblies to life.

Day to Day Responsibilities:

• Build : Get hands-on by prepping and assembling components into housings
• Get Creative : Transform hardware with tasks like painting, priming, cleaning, and prepping surfaces
• Follow the Map: Use routers, drawings, and written procedures to create flawless assemblies
• Perfect the Details : Align systems and assemblies to exact specs, using state-of-the-art technology like interferometry and open optical testing
• Document : Process and record testing results with a touch of supervision needed
• Finish Strong : Prep for finished assemblies for shipment, with a quick review from your trusted supervisor or tech III sidekick

What We’re Looking For:

• A problem-solver who can tackle production challenges independently and knows when to seek help
• Experience setting up and running basic optical tests without supervision is preferred
• Strong organizational skills and flexibility to adapt to shifting priorities and deadlines
• Incredible attention to detail with a passion for delivering top-quality work
• Ability to collect and submit data accurately for QA review
• DMAIC yellow belt training is a plus

Work Environment:

• Work primarily in a controlled Class 10000 cleanroom environment, with occasional tasks in a more stringent Class 1000 cleanroom for specialized projects
• Regularly handle light to medium-weight materials, lifting from floor level to about 2 feet above bench height
• Occasionally require assistance for heavier lifting tasks
• Accuracy and attention to detail are critical, as errors in assembly may not be immediately noticeable
• Operate in a fast-paced environment with shifting priorities and deadlines that require flexibility and adaptability
• Work in a clean, organized, and safety-conscious setting that adheres to industry standards

Education & Experience:

• High School Diploma or GED, required
• 1-2 years of hands-on industrial experience, and you know your way around a blueprint like a pro, preferred
• Strong math skills—Algebra and Basic Trigonometry, preferred
