Omega Engineering Inc•Sunbury, OH

About The Position

Summary: Assembles electronic components, subassemblies and products according to quality specifications and process procedures by performing the following duties. Essential Duties and Responsibilities include the following. Other duties may be assigned. Reads, interprets, and works from drawings, blueprints, schematics, work orders, wiring diagrams, product samples and written or verbal instructions with limited supervision to determine assembly duties and materials requirements, and selects components such as transistors, resistors, capacitors, and integrated circuits. Assembles electronic/mechanical products, systems or support structures and installs components, units, subassemblies, wiring, or assembly casings, using small hand tools and soldering equipment. Cleans parts, using cleaning solutions, air hoses, and cloths. May perform assembly operations under a microscope or another magnifying device. Positions and aligns parts in specified relationship to each other in jig, fixture, or other holding device, and prepares soldering surfaces. Uses a variety of equipment including but not limited to power supplies, multimeters, leak detection/vacuum systems, pressure generators, volt meters, ohmmeters, ovens, soldering equipment, microscopes and a variety of precision hand tools. Aligns and clamps parts together, or positions items in fixtures, jigs, or other holding devices as required. Measures parts to determine tolerances, using precision measuring instruments such as micrometers and calipers. Connects component lead wires to printed circuit or route and connects wires between individual component leads and other components, connectors, terminals, and contact points. Assembles and attaches hardware, such as caps, clamps, knobs, and switches, to assemblies. Adjusts or trims materials from components to achieve specified electrical or dimensional characteristics. Performs intermediate assembly tasks, such as potting, sanding, cleaning, epoxy bonding, curing, stamping and etching parts and assemblies. Performs trimming, preparation and application of components including but not limited to wire, cables, connectors, and resistors using solder and various adhesives as specified by prints and procedural documents. Adjusts, repairs, or replaces electronic component parts to correct defects and ensure conformance to specifications. Performs go/not-go testing and inspection to ensure parts and assemblies meet quality, performance, and production specifications and standards. Creates documentation for process improvement (ECR). Confers with supervisors or engineers to plan or review work activities or to resolve production problems. Inspects, tests, and adjusts completed units to ensure that units meet specifications, tolerances, and customer order requirements. Produces parts/products efficiently with a minimum of waste and rework.
