As a Cleanroom Assembly Technician
, you are the hands that build our most critical hardware. Working inside our controlled ISO-certified cleanroom, you will assemble, test, and package electromechanical devices like solenoids and valves that are destined for spaceflight. This role requires a steady hand, a sharp eye, and a commitment to perfection. You won t just be following instructions; you will be mastering strict contamination control protocols to ensure that not even a speck of dust compromises the mission.

If you take pride in precision work and enjoy a quiet, focused, and immaculate work environment, we want you on our team.

• Precision Assembly: Assemble complex electromechanical products (solenoids, valves) using microscopes, tweezers, and small hand tools. You will follow detailed Work Instructions and drawings to the letter.
• Cleanroom Protocol: Adhere strictly to cleanroom standards. This includes wearing full cleanroom attire (gown, hood, booties, gloves, mask) and following Foreign Object Debris (FOD) prevention protocols.
• Testing & Verification: Perform functional testing on completed units to ensure they meet engineering specifications. You will use precision measuring instruments (calipers, micrometers) to verify tolerances.
• Documentation: "If it isn t written down, it didn t happen." You will complete assembly logs and test documentation with 100% accuracy to ensure full traceability for our aerospace customers.
• Collaboration & Training: Work closely with Design Engineering to provide feedback on new products. You may also be asked to demonstrate assembly processes during customer site visits or audits.
• Quality First: You are the first line of defense for quality. You are empowered to "stop the line" and report any problems with materials, processes, or equipment to your supervisor immediately.
• Maintenance: Maintain a pristine workspace. You will clean products and equipment regularly to facilitate a contaminant-free manufacturing environment.

Pay
: $20.50 per hour. After 90 days it goes to $21.00 per hour. This includes 2nd shift differential pay and special process pay.

• Legal: Must be able to pass a comprehensive criminal background check and drug screening. Must be a U.S. citizen or national, U.S. permanent resident (current Green Card holder), or lawfully admitted into the U.S. as a refugee or granted asylum (due to ITAR requirements).
• Dexterity: Superior manual dexterity and eye-hand coordination. You must be comfortable handling very small parts (often under a microscope) for extended periods.
• Technical Aptitude: Ability to read and interpret technical drawings, blueprints, and complex written instructions.
• Cleanroom Readiness: Willingness to work in a controlled environment. This means adhering to dress codes (no makeup, jewelry, or perfumes) and wearing protective cleanroom gear (The "Bunny Suit") for the duration of the shift.
• Measurement
  
  Skills:
  
  Proficiency with basic measuring tools (calipers, micrometers, multimeters) is preferred.
• Communication: Ability to communicate clearly with engineers and auditors. You must be comfortable demonstrating your work process to others.
• Education: High School Diploma or GED is required.
• Experience: Prior experience in electronics assembly, medical device manufacturing, or fine-detail craftwork is a major plus.
