About The Position

The Assembler performs a variety of electronic, electromechanical, mechanical, or measurement-product assembly operations on assemblies and subassemblies. The work involves following or determining operating methods and sequences for wiring, component installation, hand soldering, cable harnessing, and fitting. Many assemblies contain small, delicate components that require careful handling and good eye-hand coordination, often using a microscope or other magnification device. The assembler makes setups and adjustments to meet blueprint tolerances. The role includes reading work orders, production drawings, and sample assemblies, or following verbal instructions; positioning and aligning parts in jigs, fixtures, or other holding devices; and joining or securing parts using methods such as crimping, staking, fastening, riveting, welding, soldering, cementing, or press fitting. The assembler mounts electronic components on chassis panels and performs on-line go/no-go testing and inspection with magnifying devices, measuring instruments, and electronic test equipment to verify that parts and assemblies meet production specifications and standards. Employees must follow site EHS procedures and Coherent corporate standards. Depending on location, the position may also be responsible for executing and maintaining applicable quality and environmental management standards, including ISO 9000, ISO 9001, and ISO 14001.
