Job description

Manufacturing is changing, and we need the best people on the job. If you want to be a part of changing manufacturing, we want you to join us as an Assembly Technician.

At Opulo, we’re changing the way folks bring their product to market. Our machines facilitate mid-scale manufacturing, where you make your product at a moderate scale before making the risky and expensive jump to mass production.

As a Assembly Technician, you will not only help fabricate and assemble our machines, but you’ll use those machines themselves to build them. You’ll get your hands into every aspect of production, from operating the pick and place, debugging and fixing PCBAs, building machine subassemblies, running quality tests, to packaging and managing orders.

THE JOB:

• Perform complex and advanced assembly of products according to instructions
• Operate our next-gen pick and place to produce printed circuit board assemblies
• Debugging assembly issues using deductive reasoning
• Tune and tweak machine settings to optimize machine performance
• Kitting and packing machines and their various subassemblies
• Perform pre-assembly activities such as cleaning, lubricating, and quality control
• Managing order shipment, logistics, and inventory tracking for finished goods and production material
• Perform final checks and adjustments for any defects to ensure high quality products

YOU:

• Are excited to work for a young, fast growing company where things are never boring
• Love working hands-on with electronics and hardware or are eager to learn
• Can communicate technical information clearly and concisely
• Have the ability to lift 30 pounds occasionally
• Have the ability to work on your feet for several hours at a time
• Are able to transport yourself to our Pittsburgh office location, located at 1425 Forbes Avenue, Pittsburgh, PA 15219

BONUS SKILLS:

• Familiarity with schematics, blueprints, and wiring diagrams
• Familiarity with basic power tools, such as drills, electric screwdrivers
• Have assembled a 3D printer or other kit project before

Even if you have no experience with these topics listed above, we are more than willing to teach the right person!

POSITION DETAILS:

• Eligible to work in the US without restriction or sponsorship
• Position is offered as a full-time (40 hr/wk) role, with opportunity for additional hours as business grows
• Candidates interested in a flexible part-time (up to 20 hr/week) schedule may still be considered for this position
• Position includes healthcare benefits with full-time employment
• Our base pay range is $16 - $24 per hour, depending on experience and pre-existing skill set.

We are an equal opportunity employer and value diversity at our company. We do not discriminate on the basis of race, religion, color, national origin, gender, sexual orientation, age, marital status, veteran status, or disability status.
