Electro Mechanical – Production Assembler

Summary: The Electro Mechanical – Production Assembler role involves assembling, wiring, soldering, and mechanically building electro-mechanical components and products according to production specifications and quality standards. This hands-on position requires a combination of mechanical assembly and fine electrical work, including testing and inspection of completed assemblies. The role emphasizes adherence to safety protocols and accurate documentation throughout the production process.

Key Responsibilities:

• Assemble complex electro-mechanical subassemblies and final units to specification.
• Perform electrical tasks such as soldering, wiring, crimping, and cable routing.
• Conduct mechanical operations including fitting, fastening, and minor fabrication.
• Inspect and test completed assemblies to verify conformance using measuring and testing equipment.
• Follow production schedules, work instructions, and safety protocols at all times.
• Maintain accurate production and quality documentation.
• Solder wires, components, and PCBs (both leaded and lead-free) to required standards.
• Assemble mechanical components such as housings, brackets, panels, and fasteners using hand and power tools.
• Read and interpret technical drawings, wiring diagrams, and build instructions.
• Operate test equipment for continuity checks, insulation resistance, and functional testing.
• Handle and manage electrostatic-sensitive devices (ESD awareness required).
• Perform basic troubleshooting on assembly defects and escalate where necessary.
• Ensure self-inspection is carried out to maintain high-quality output.
• Keep the work area organized, clean, and compliant with health and safety requirements.

Key Skills:

• Previous experience in an electro-mechanical assembly environment is essential.
• Strong hand-soldering skills; IPC-A-610/J-STD-001 certification is advantageous.
• Familiarity with crimping, wire preparation, cable assembly, and mechanical assembly techniques.
• Ability to read and interpret engineering drawings, wiring schematics, and assembly instructions.
• Experience using a range of hand tools, power tools, and basic electrical test equipment.
• Demonstrated ability to perform accurate self-inspection and quality control.
