• Accurately document test results and maintain complete production records.
• Compare results with defined acceptance criteria and report unusual readings or inconsistencies.
• Apply labels and accurately enter and verify serial numbers in our database.
• Communicate effectively with supervisors and team members regarding production schedules, technical questions, and identified issues on a regular basis.
• Perform electro-mechanical assembly using hand tools and fixtures to assemble electro-mechanical products and subassemblies according to work instructions.
• Maintain a clean, organized, and safe work area.

Required Qualifications

• Comfort entering data, navigating software, and following on-screen instructions.
• Strong attention to detail and accuracy with serial numbers, numerical values, and records.
• Ability to follow written and verbal instructions in English and communicate questions clearly.
• Critical thinking to recognize unexpected results or inconsistent information and seek guidance.
• Patience and concentration for repetitive inspection and testing tasks.
• Dependable attendance, consistent follow-through, and a strong work ethic.

Preferred Experience:

• Technical coursework, vocational training, or an associate's degree in electronics or a related field.
• Prior electronics testing experience or familiarity with electronic test equipment or electro-mechanical assembly.
• Surface-mount (SMT) or through-hole soldering skills are helpful but not required.

Physical Requirements

• Ability to sit or stand for extended periods while inspecting and testing units.
• Frequent use of hands to handle small units, attach labels, connect test leads, and use a computer.
• Ability to visually inspect products and read labels and test results, with or without reasonable accommodation.
