If that’s the kind of work that gets you out of bed in the morning, we think you belong here.

About The Role

• Perform precision wiring, cable harnessing, crimping and fine soldering of electrical assemblies
• Assist with PCB assembly and electrical integration of control systems
• Conduct in‑process electrical and functional testing using in‑house test equipment
• Troubleshoot assembly and electrical issues and support root cause investigations
• Support prototype builds, design verification, and validation activities alongside engineers
• Set up and maintain assembly and test equipment, including basic calibration and preventive maintenance
• Complete accurate production documentation, including device history records (DHR) in compliance with GMP/FDA standards
• Mentor junior operators and maintain compliance within a cleanroom, regulated manufacturing environment

What You Bring

• 4–7 years of experience in electrical assembly, wire harnessing, or electromechanical manufacturing
• Strong experience with wiring, cable harnessing, soldering small‑gauge wires, and PCB work
• Ability to read and interpret schematics and detailed technical documentation
• Experience within regulated industries such as medical devices or aerospace preferred
• Comfortable working independently with a quality‑first mindset
• Strong attention to detail and documentation discipline

What We Offer

• 401(k) with company matching
• Medical, dental, and vision insurance
• Health Savings Account (HSA) & Flexible Spending Account (FSA)
• Life insurance & Employee Assistance Program
