As an Electrical Assembler, you’ll play a direct role in building critical aircraft lighting and safety products used on commercial flights every day. Working in a clean, quiet, and static-controlled environment, you’ll perform detailed bench-level electrical assembly involving small components, tight tolerances, and exact specifications. Your precision and attention to detail help ensure passengers stay safe, comfortable, and connected while in the air.

This is an ideal opportunity for someone who enjoys hands-on work, technical assembly, and producing high-quality, mission-critical products in a structured manufacturing setting.

• Read and interpret work orders, schematics, blueprints, and production drawings to ensure accurate assembly
• Position, align, and secure parts using jigs, fixtures, and hand tools
• Perform detailed electrical assembly tasks including crimping, soldering, riveting, bolting, and press-fitting
• Mount electrical components to panels and install sub-assemblies into housings per specification
• Install hardware such as caps, clamps, knobs, switches, and fasteners to complete finished units
• Safely use soldering equipment, hand tools, and light machinery
• Maintain a clean, organized, and safe bench workspace in compliance with manufacturing standards
• Follow written and verbal instructions to ensure product quality and consistency
• Work primarily independently at your bench while collaborating with team members and leads as needed
• Inspect your work for accuracy and quality, identifying and resolving basic assembly issues

Required Qualifications

• Ability to read and follow work orders, schematics, blueprints, and production drawings
• Hands-on electrical assembly experience, including soldering and hand-tool use
• Strong manual dexterity and hand–eye coordination for small-part assembly
• High attention to detail and comfort performing repetitive, technical tasks
• Experience working in a manufacturing or bench-assembly environment
• Clear verbal and written communication skills
• Basic problem-solving skills for troubleshooting assembly issues
• Ability to sit or stand at a bench for extended periods
• Comfort using soldering equipment, hand tools, and light machinery
• Ability to lift and move up to 25–30 pounds as needed
• High school diploma or GED

Preferred Experience

• Small-part or precision assembly in a production environment
• Electrical assembly experience for safety-critical or mission-critical products
• Ability to work independently while contributing to a collaborative team
• Strong organizational skills and ability to manage work orders efficiently

• Clean, organized, and quiet facility designed for precision work
• Products that directly support aircraft safety and reliability
• Rotating schedule offering four-day and five-day work weeks for work–life balance
• Newly updated break room with an on-site mini market
• Strong benefits package
• Flexibility after the probationary period, including:
  • Flexible start times
  • Ability to flex lunch by up to two hours with approval
• Regular raffles and employee appreciation activities
• Supportive, team-oriented culture that values craftsmanship, reliability, and quality

This position is based in a well-lit, temperature-controlled, and static-controlled production facility. You’ll primarily work at an individual bench, with a team lead or supervisor nearby for support. The environment is very quiet and designed for precision electrical assembly using hand tools, soldering equipment, and light machinery. Due to static-control requirements, some areas may have increased humidity.

The schedule rotates between:

• Week 1: Monday–Thursday (9-hour days) and Friday (8-hour day)
• Week 2: Monday–Thursday only

Most work is performed independently, allowing focus on detailed assembly tasks while still being part of a collaborative manufacturing team.
