• Apply protective coating around electric terminals to ensure safe and reliable operation.
• Fill casings with cement as part of the sensor assembly process.
• Handle and assemble very small parts with consistent precision and care.
• Rotate between different assembly tasks and cross-train in multiple areas to support production needs.
• Thread wire through peg boards to create flexible heaters in the flex/foam area.
• Apply terminals onto materials and add a second layer to cover heaters as part of the assembly process.
• Cure assembled heaters in ovens following established procedures.
• Test sensors and heaters to verify proper function and quality.
• Follow performance metrics and meet production expectations after the initial 1–2 month training period.
• Use hand tools such as drills, pliers, wrenches, and other basic tools safely and effectively.
• Perform basic quality checks and inspections on assembled components.
• Read and interpret scales, rulers, and basic shop drawings to complete work accurately.
• Support both small and large production runs, with order sizes ranging from 1 to 100 in flex/foam and 100 to 100,000 in sensor assembly.
• Maintain a clean, organized workstation and follow all safety and quality procedures.
• Communicate clearly about previous and current assembly processes to supervisors and team members.

Essential Skills

• Ability to read and use scales and rulers confidently for daily measuring tasks.
