Milwaukee Electronics is a contract electronics manufacturer bringing innovations to life from prototype to production. Our mission is Accelerate — expanding what's possible for our customers, our people, and our communities. We operate as One Team, Take Ownership, Seek to Serve, and Go Beyond.

About the Role

The Quality & Assembly Team Lead is the connective tissue of the shift — keeping quality inspection, assembly, and rework running smoothly while making sure every team member has the support, training, and direction they need to do their best work. You're a working lead: on the floor, hands‑on, solving problems in real time, and the first line of support before escalating to the Shift Supervisor or Engineering.

If you hold yourself to a high standard, take pride in developing others, and know your way around IPC workmanship requirements, this role was built for you.

What You’ll Do

• Serve as a working lead across quality inspection, assembly, and rework operations — actively participating, not just directing
• Coordinate and prioritize daily workflow for a cross‑functional team including Quality Inspectors I–III, Assemblers, WAVE and Selective Solder Machine Operators, and Rework Specialists
• Ensure 100% training compliance for the shift, including:
  • X‑ray safety and operation training
  • IPC‑A‑610 CIS certification training
• Lead new employee onboarding and training coordination
• Provide real‑time coaching, feedback, and issue resolution support to team members
• Capture, document, and drive resolution of production issues cross‑functionally
• Partner with process owners on continuous improvement activities
• Provide performance feedback on team members to the Shift Supervisor
• Champion 6S standards and safety practices across production workspaces
• Cover Shift Supervisor responsibilities as needed in their absence

What You Bring

• 1–2 years of electronics manufacturing experience, or an equivalent combination of education and hands‑on training
• Strong working knowledge of IPC‑A‑610 workmanship standards
• Ability to read and interpret quality documentation and written work instructions
• Basic math skills and ability to read performance data
• Strong communication skills — you can coach, document, elevate, and collaborate with equal ease
• Passing scores required on IPC Component Identification and IPC Workmanship Standards courses (in‑house training provided)
• IPC‑A‑610 CIT certification or willingness to obtain (in‑house training provided)
• Must be eligible to work in an ITAR‑controlled facility (U.S. Person status required)

Physical Requirements

Regular use of hands for precision work; frequent standing, sitting, and communication; occasional lifting up to 40 lbs. Close vision, color vision, depth perception, and ability to adjust focus required.

Electronics manufacturing facility. Moderate noise level; occasional exposure to moving parts, fumes, or airborne particles. PPE enforced where required. This is a fully on‑site role — attendance is essential.

Any job offers will be contingent on verification that the candidate is a U.S. person (i.e., U.S. citizen, U.S. nationals, lawful permanent resident, or individual granted asylum/refugee status in the U.S.) or can otherwise satisfy ITAR compliance requirements. If applicable, if an individual is not a U.S. person, our policy is to not take the extra step of seeking approval from the federal government for that person to work in this position.
