Assembler

Coherent•Wilsonville, WA

About The Position

The Assembler performs a wide variety of electronic, electro-mechanical, mechanical, or measurement product assembly operations on assemblies and sub-assemblies. The work includes 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 under a microscope or other magnification device. The assembler sets up and adjusts work while holding tolerances to blueprint specifications. The role involves reading work orders and production drawings, following sample assemblies or verbal instructions, positioning and aligning parts in jigs or fixtures, and joining or securing components using hand tools, power tools, machines, and equipment. Assemblers may mount electronic components on chassis panels and perform on-line go/no-go testing and inspection using magnifying devices, measuring instruments, and electronic test equipment. Employees must follow site EHS procedures and Coherent Corporate standards.
