Electro-Mechanical Assembler / Instrument Integration Technician

Position Type: Full-time, minimum 40 hours per week

Team: Production

Products: Laser ablation and LIBS instrumentation

Job Summary

This position supports the assembly, integration, and quality verification of laser ablation and LIBS instruments in a fast-paced production environment. The successful candidate will build mechanical and electro-mechanical sub-assemblies, cables, harnesses, and enclosures, and will also participate in full instrument integration: installing completed assemblies into systems, routing and connecting wiring, supporting functional checks, documenting results, and working with production, engineering, and service personnel to ensure each instrument is completed to established standards.

Duties and Responsibilities

• Assemble precision mechanical, electro-mechanical, and optical/mechanical components ranging from small sub-assemblies to enclosure builds and complete instrument assemblies.
• Build, route, label, and install cables and harnesses, including cable assemblies, enclosure wiring, interconnects, and system-level wiring integration.
• Integrate completed sub-assemblies into full laser ablation and LIBS instruments according to bills of materials, drawings, work instructions, assembly procedures, and quality requirements.
• Install and secure modules, panels, stages, fixtures, power supplies, controls, sensors, pneumatics, tubing, optics-related hardware, and other instrument components as required by the build package.
• Perform basic system-level checks, functional verification, and quality inspections to confirm assemblies and instruments meet established workmanship, fit, finish, operation, and safety standards.
• Assist with instrument setup, alignment support, configuration, troubleshooting, and acceptance-test preparation under the direction of production leads, engineering, or service personnel.
• Identify, document, and communicate discrepancies in bills of materials, drawings, parts, work instructions, assemblies, test results, or product configuration.
• Maintain accurate production records, inspection notes, serial-number documentation, and build-status updates using the appropriate forms, files, and computer-based tools.
• Use hand tools, power tools, soldering equipment, wiring tools, torque tools, fixtures, meters, and other production equipment safely and appropriately.
• Maintain a clean, organized, and safe workspace; handle materials, chemicals, adhesives, solvents, and finished instruments in accordance with established procedures.
• Work independently and collaboratively with production, engineering, quality, service, and shipping personnel to support on-time completion of customer-ready instruments.

Qualifications

• Clear written and verbal communication skills; ability to read, understand, and follow work instructions, diagrams, drawings, schematics, and build documentation.
• Strong attention to detail, organization, neatness, and personal pride in workmanship, especially when working on customer-facing, high-value instrumentation.
• Ability to work in a fast-paced, detail-oriented production environment while maintaining quality, safety, and documentation standards.
• Comfort working on both individual sub-assemblies and larger complete systems that require careful fit, finish, routing, labeling, and configuration control.
• Ability to stand, sit, crouch, kneel, lift, position, and manipulate components or instruments as needed to complete production tasks safely.
• Ability to maintain positive working relationships and communicate build status, questions, and issues constructively with co-workers and supervisors.
• Ability to work with common production chemicals and materials such as alcohol, acetone, epoxies, adhesives, fluxes, and cleaning agents, following proper safety practices.
• Working knowledge of hand and power tools such as screwdrivers, hex drivers, wrenches, torque drivers, drills, cutters, strippers, crimpers, heat guns, soldering irons, solder pots, and related equipment.
• Basic computer skills, including email, opening and saving files, reviewing electronic documentation, and entering build or quality information.

Preferred Skills and Experience

• Experience assembling or integrating scientific, analytical, laser-based, optical, sensor, automation, robotics, medical, or other precision electro-mechanical instrumentation.
• Experience with system-level troubleshooting, functional testing, instrument configuration, cable routing, panel wiring, pneumatic routing, or final acceptance testing.
• Experience reading mechanical drawings, wiring diagrams, schematics, assembly travelers, bills of materials, or controlled work instructions.
• IPC soldering standards, formal soldering training, or comparable cable and harness assembly experience preferred.

Education and Experience

• Minimum high school education or equivalent required.
• Minimum of one year of related assembly, production, maintenance, technical service, or instrument build experience preferred.
• Relevant technical training, trade-school coursework, military technical experience, or equivalent hands-on experience will be considered.
