Help Us Build Something Great

LANTANA LED is building out our new manufacturing facility in Richmond, California, and we’re looking for Assembly Technicians who want to be part of it from the ground up.

We design and manufacture high-performance industrial LED lighting systems for some of the most demanding and rapidly growing environments, including data centers, healthcare, education, commercial and other mission-critical applications.

This is more than an assembly job. You’ll be joining a growing U.S. manufacturing operation at an early stage, working directly with production, engineering, and quality as we build the processes, standards, and team that will support our next phase of growth.

What We Offer

• $25.00-$30.00/hour, depending on experience
• 100% employer-paid employee medical insurance
• Equity option opportunity
• Opportunity to join a growing company and new manufacturing operation at an early stage
• Hands-on experience with modern LED lighting and manufacturing technology
• Opportunity to learn, cross-train, and grow as our Richmond operation expands

About LANTANA LED

LANTANA LED develops advanced lighting solutions designed for high performance, energy efficiency, ease of installation, and long-term maintainability. Our products combine functional performance with distinctive, refined design for demanding applications including data centers, healthcare, education, retail, offices, and other commercial environments.

The Role

As an Assembly Technician, you’ll build LED luminaires and related components at our new Richmond manufacturing facility. You’ll work from technical drawings, bills of materials, and work instructions to produce high-quality finished products.

Day to day, you may:

• Assemble LED lighting fixtures and components
• Perform wiring, fastening, component placement, and mechanical assembly
• Use hand and power tools, including crimpers, wire strippers, screwdrivers, and torque tools
• Perform basic soldering as required
• Inspect components and completed assemblies for quality
• Identify and upscale defects, shortages, or assembly issues
• Work alongside automated production equipment
• Follow established safety, quality, and production procedures
• Maintain accurate production and quality documentation
• Keep your work area clean and organized using 5S principles
• Work with production, engineering, and quality teams to improve how we build

What We’re Looking For

Required

• 1+ years of electronics, electromechanical, light-industrial assembly, or equivalent hands-on manufacturing experience
• Ability to accurately follow detailed work instructions, BOMs, and assembly drawings
• Strong attention to detail and comfort with repetitive, precision-focused work
• Basic proficiency with common hand tools
• Ability to stand for extended periods and lift up to 35 lbs.
• Comfortable working safely around automated production equipment
• Dependable, punctual, and able to communicate effectively as part of a team

Preferred

• Experience in electronics or lighting manufacturing
• Basic wiring or soldering experience
• Experience in a lean, cell-based, or other structured manufacturing environment
• Familiarity with ERP-driven work orders, particularly Odoo
• Bilingual English/Spanish

Build With Us

We’re looking for people who take pride in making things well and want to be part of a manufacturing team that is still taking shape. If you like hands-on work, care about quality, and are excited by the opportunity to help build a new production operation rather than simply step into an established one, we’d like to meet you.
