About The Position

FormFactor, Inc. is a leading provider of essential test and measurement technologies for the semiconductor industry. We are seeking an Assembler 3 to perform the precision assembly of complex electronic and electro-mechanical systems. This role requires advanced competency in assembling extremely small, fragile, and high-tolerance components using microscopes, specialized fixtures, and detailed work instructions. Sr Assemblers work from schematics, diagrams, Bills of Material, and written or verbal instructions to produce high-quality microscopic components for electronic test products. The role demands strong dexterity, exceptional attention to detail, the ability to derive and validate component tolerances, and the capability to thrive in a fast-paced production environment. As an expert assembler, this role also provides training, leadership, and process-improvement contributions within the assembly team.
