Why Work Here?You will contribute to building components used in medical device products, directly supporting technologies that can improve lives. The role offers longterm stability and the opportunity to deepen your expertise in troubleshooting analog and digital circuitbased systems. You will work in an environment that values precision, continuous learning, and the use of advanced tools and processes, providing a solid platform for professional growth. Work EnvironmentYou will work in a unique manufacturing environment that differs from typical production settings by using a computerdirected assembly system called vPoke. This system provides stepbystep assembly sequences, images of parts, tools, and completed examples, and uses custom part trays that ensure all required components are present before assembly begins. vPoke validates each completed step, captures visual confirmation, and stores information electronically for the device history record, allowing you to proceed only when the current sequence is successfully completed and audibly confirmed. The system engages multiple sensessight, sound, and touchto improve concentration and enhance performance. The standard work schedule is 7:00 a.m. to 3:30 p.m., offering a consistent daytime shift in a structured, processdriven environment focused on quality and traceability.
