What You Will Do

Perform hands‑on assembly of electronic and mechanical assemblies in a classified production environment within the Antenna Integration Factory (AIF) at the McKinney, TX site on 2nd Shift. Assembly operations include both production and development/prototype units. The assembly technician will work directly with engineering on production builds and rework tasks.

• Perform hands‑on assembly of electronic and mechanical assemblies in a classified production environment
• Perform work using detailed work instructions with accompanying photographs — attention to detail and strict adherence to documented procedures are essential
• Clock into the production tracking system, participate in tier meetings for task assignment, draw parts kits and sub‑assemblies, review work instructions, check out calibrated torque tools, and gather required consumables
• Visual inspection of all parts and sub‑assemblies prior to installation. Some inspections require the use of a microscope or magnifying glass; most are a quick visual check for damage, defects, or nonconformance
• Assembly tasks include wire routing, connector mating, bracket installation using feeler gauges, and installation of sub‑assemblies into the main assembly
• Nearly all fasteners require thread locking compound and torque to specification. Work is currently performed with manual torque drivers and wrenches
• Work is performed at both seated workstations and standing positions throughout the shift. Assemblies are built at workstations or using automated bonding machines (SFD)
• Rework operations — removal and replacement of sub‑assemblies on units that have failed testing. Rework requires a higher level of understanding of the build process and work instructions, as the sequence does not follow a linear start‑to‑finish flow
• After all work and rework operations are completed, a visual inspection of the affected areas must be performed before the unit is moved forward in the production queue
• Work must be documented in the appropriate production system as each operation is completed
• When errors, discrepancies, or issues are identified during the build, technicians are expected to stop work and bring the issue to their supervisor and supporting engineer immediately

Qualifications

• Typically requires HS diploma (or equivalent, e.g. G.E.D in the US) or vocational/ technical education in related discipline with a minimum of 2 years of relevant experience
• Experience performing assemblies using work instructions, engineering drawings, schematics, and related documentation
• Experience working in a manufacturing or production environment
• U.S. Citizen – Active and transferable U.S. SECRET government issued security clearance is required prior to start date
• U.S. citizenship is required, as only U.S. citizens are eligible for a security clearance

We Prefer

• Experience with hand tools, torque tools, feeler gauges, and thread locking compounds
• Experience with wire routing and connector mating
• Experience performing visual inspection of parts, sub‑assemblies, and completed work including use of magnification tools
• Experience performing rework, repair, or replacement operations on electronic or mechanical assemblies
• Ability to work with small fasteners, connectors, and sub‑assemblies requiring fine hand and finger dexterity
• Familiarity with production tracking systems such as SAP, CMES, or similar manufacturing execution systems
• Military electronics or electromechanical maintenance training from any branch of service is valued, including but not limited to Navy Aviation Electrician’s Mate (AE), Aviation Electronics Technician (AT), Electronics Technician (ET), or Aviation Structural Mechanic (AM); Air Force Integrated Avionics (2A3X2, 2A3X5, 2A5X3) or Aircraft Electrical and Environmental Systems (2A6X6); Army Electronic Maintenance and Calibration CMF 94 specialties including 94A, 94E, 94F, or 94R; and equivalent Marine Corps or Coast Guard electronics, avionics, or aviation maintenance ratings
