**Mechanical Assembler - Build Equipment That Powers the Future**
If you love working with your hands, solving mechanical challenges, and seeing a finished product you can be proud of, this is the place for you.
We're a small, tight‑knit team building advanced burn‑in test equipment used by major manufacturers. As a Mechanical Assembler here, you won't be stuck doing the same task all day-you'll take ownership of full sub‑assemblies from start to finish and play a direct role in building large, high‑value systems.
** What You'll Do**
+ Build mechanical sub‑assemblies for high‑tech burn‑in equipment using a wide range of hand and power tools
+ Read and interpret blueprints to assemble components accurately and efficiently
+ Work with wrenches, ratchets, torque tools, drills, rivet guns, soldering tools, and more
+ Perform copper piping soldering and brazing
+ Handle both small precision parts and large industrial components
+ Stand for most of the day and lift up to 25 lbs regularly (up to 100 lbs with hoist assistance)
+ Complete full builds independently-no repetitive assembly‑line work
**️ What You Bring**
+ 1-2 years of mechanical assembly or related hands‑on experience
+ Ability to work confidently with tools and mechanical components
+ Experience reading blueprints and building assemblies from start to finish
+ Comfort working in a shop environment with a variety of equipment
+ Bonus skills: brazing, copper soldering, or experience with large industrial equipment
**⭐ Why You'll Love Working Here**
We invest in our people and create an environment where you can grow your skills and build a long‑term career.
**Benefits include:**
+ Health, dental, and vision insurance
+ Health Savings Account with company match
+ Dependent Care FSA
+ Life and disability insurance
+ Paid time off + paid holidays
+ Tuition reimbursement
+ 401(k) with company match
+ Profit‑sharing bonuses
+ Employee assistance and wellness programs
** Your Work Environment**
+ Clean, organized shop with high‑quality tools and equipment
+ A collaborative team of about five people-your work won't get lost in the crowd
+ Hands‑on training with a dedicated lead who wants you to succeed
+ Standard hours: Monday-Friday, 7:00am-3:30pm
+ Flexible start times between 6:00am and 8:00am
+ Work on large, unique builds-some as big as an ice‑fishing house
+ Expect a mix of kneeling, climbing, and maneuvering as part of the build process
**Ready to Build Something That Lasts?**
+ If you want meaningful hands‑on work, a stable team, and the chance to see your craftsmanship come to life, we'd love to meet you.
