Job description

Soldering Assembler | $20-$25/HR | 1st Shift | 9/80 Schedule

York, PA Area

$20-$25/hour | 1st Shift | Contract-to-Hire

Are you experienced with soldering or electronic assembly and looking for something beyond a typical production environment?

We are hiring Soldering Assemblers for a growing electronics manufacturing operation in the New Freedom, PA area. These are long-term, contract-to-hire opportunities offering competitive pay, a flexible 1st-shift schedule, a clean climate-controlled facility, and the opportunity to develop valuable technical skills and certifications.

IPC certification is a plus, but it is NOT required. If you have hands‑on soldering experience and can demonstrate your skills, we want to hear from you.

Why You’ll Want This Job

• $20-$25/hour , based on experience
• 1st shift only
• Flexible start and end times within the established 1st‑shift window
• 9/80 compressed work schedule
• Contract‑to‑hire with long-term potential
• Clean, air‑conditioned and heated work environment
• Quiet, organized production setting
• Your own individual workstation
• Opportunity to develop specialized electronics assembly skills
• Opportunity to obtain additional industry certifications after hire
• Overtime opportunities may be available
• Excellent long‑term career and advancement potential

Schedule

1st Shift: Flexible scheduling between approximately 6:00 AM and 5:00 PM

This position operates on a 9/80 schedule , allowing employees to work 80 hours across nine workdays rather than the traditional ten‑day schedule.

Some overtime may be required based on production needs, with additional voluntary overtime opportunities potentially available.

What You’ll Be Doing

As a Soldering Assembler, you’ll complete detailed electronic and mechanical assembly work at your own workstation while following established drawings, instructions, and quality standards.

Responsibilities include:

• Perform hands‑on soldering and electronic assembly
• Build assemblies using drawings, work instructions, and production orders
• Assemble small components using hand tools and production equipment
• Inspect completed work to ensure it meets quality requirements
• Follow detailed assembly and standardized work procedures
• Set up your workstation and equipment for production orders
• Receive and prepare parts and subassemblies for production
• Perform pre‑assembly work as required
• Complete production and quality documentation
• Identify potential quality issues during the assembly process
• Maintain an organized, clean, and safe individual workstation
• Work independently while consistently meeting quality and production expectations

What We’re Looking For

Required:

• Previous soldering experience
• High school diploma or GED
• Ability to perform detail‑oriented assembly work
• Ability to read and follow work instructions
• Strong attention to quality and detail
• Basic mechanical aptitude and hand‑tool experience
• Ability to work independently at an individual workstation
• Ability to meet established safety, quality, and documentation standards

Experience That’s a Plus

Any of the following can make you an especially strong candidate:

• IPC‑A‑610 certification or experience
• Electronic assembly experience
• Circuit board or component soldering experience
• Mechanical assembly experience
• Experience reading drawings or assembly instructions
• Visual inspection experience
• Experience using basic measuring tools
• Previous work in electronics or other precision manufacturing environments

Don’t have an active IPC certification? That’s okay.

Candidates with solid soldering experience may still be considered based on their hands‑on ability. Qualified employees may also have opportunities to obtain additional certifications and training after starting.

Work Environment

Forget the hot, loud production floor you may associate with manufacturing.

This position is in a clean, quiet, climate‑controlled manufacturing environment with both air conditioning and heat. Employees have their own workstation, including a computer, and are trusted to work independently while maintaining high quality standards.

If you enjoy detailed, hands‑on work and prefer a more organized, technical production environment, this could be an excellent fit.

Long‑Term Career Opportunity

These positions are being added to support increased production demand and business growth, creating an opportunity for strong performers to build a long‑term career.

• This is a contract‑to‑hire opportunity, meaning candidates who perform well may have the opportunity to transition into permanent employment.
