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.
- Working in 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.
