Assembler

The Manufacturing Assembler plays a critical role in building high-quality electro-mechanical products while actively contributing to continuous improvement, process stability, and operational excellence. This pay rate for this role is $22/hr.

This role goes beyond traditional assembly work. The ideal candidate is technologically savvy, curious, and improvement-oriented, with the ability to follow standard work while also identifying opportunities to improve it. You will partner with manufacturing, engineering, and quality teams to ensure efficient, high-quality production and a culture of accountability and innovation.

Key Responsibilities

Assembly & Production Execution

• Assemble electro-mechanical components and finished goods according to work instructions, drawings, and specifications.

• Perform calibration, testing, and inspection to ensure products meet quality standards and functional requirements.

• Read and interpret product documentation, including drawings, specifications, and work instructions.

• Complete required production reporting, checklists, and system transactions accurately.

Standard Work & Process Discipline

• Follow established standard work with consistency and attention to detail.

• Identify gaps, inefficiencies, or inconsistencies in current processes.

• Support updates to standard work documentation to reflect best practices and process improvements.

• Maintain compliance with safety, quality, and operational standards.

Continuous Improvement & Problem Solving

• Proactively identify opportunities to improve quality, reduce waste, and increase efficiency.

• Participate in root cause problem solving and implement corrective actions as needed.

• Contribute ideas to improve flow, ergonomics, tooling, and work cell layout.

• Support implementation of Lean / RBS tools and continuous improvement initiatives aligned to site goals.

Technology & Data Utilization

• Utilize digital tools, systems, and equipment to support assembly, testing, and reporting activities.

• Accurately enter and retrieve production data across systems.

• Demonstrate comfort learning and adapting to new technologies, automation, or digital work instructions.

• Use data and metrics to understand performance and identify improvement opportunities.

Team Collaboration & Ownership

• Work effectively within a team environment while maintaining individual accountability for output and quality.

• Workingin a manufacturing or production environment.

• Strong attention to detail and ability to work in a fast-paced environment.

• Demonstrated ability to follow processes and complete work accurately.

• Preferred Qualifications

• Experience assembling electro-mechanical components or similar products.

• Soldering experience.

• Familiarity with lean manufacturing, continuous improvement, or problem-solving methods.

• Experience using digital tools for production tracking or reporting.

• Technical or trade school education (mechanical, electrical, or related).

• Experience working in a manufacturing environment.

• What Sets This Role Apart

• This is not a traditional assembler role focused only on execution. Success in this position requires:

• Thinking beyond the task to improve the process

• Using technology and data to drive better outcomes

• Taking ownership of quality, performance, and team success

• Contributing ideas and participating actively in continuous improvement

• Physical Requirements

• Ability to stand, move, and perform repetitive tasks during the shift

• Ability to lift materials within standard manufacturing limits

• Ability to work safely with tools, equipment, and assembly processes

• Communicate issues, risks, and improvement ideas clearly and proactively.

• Support cross-training and knowledge sharing across the team.

• Take ownership of workstation organization, material flow, and overall cell performance.

Safety, Quality & Workplace Organization

• Maintain a clean, safe, and organized work area (5S standards)

• Ensure proper handling of materials, tools, and equipment.

• Uphold a strong quality mindset with a focus on “built-in quality” vs. inspection.

Required Qualifications

• High school diploma or GED required.

• Basic mechanical aptitude and ability to read and interpret drawings and specifications.
