About The Position

The Electromechanical Assembly Technician Team Lead builds, wires, configures, calibrates, and tests industrial measurement systems while coordinating daily work and training technicians. The role works alongside the team on the production floor, with hands-on assembly and testing as its primary responsibility. The work includes Windows-based computer setup and proprietary SpecMetrix software. Printed circuit board assembly, routine soldering, and software development are not normal requirements of the position. The Team Lead assembles electrical panels, back-panel assemblies, instrument control units, subassemblies, and complete measurement systems from schematics, drawings, bills of material, and work instructions. The role also configures and tests systems, troubleshoots issues, maintains production and quality records, and coordinates with Engineering, Quality, Service, and Purchasing. The position is on-site in Greensboro, North Carolina. The role coordinates team assignments, trains and cross-trains technicians, provides first-line technical support, and communicates work status and issues to the Operations Manager. Formal personnel decisions remain with management.

Requirements

At least five years of relevant hands-on experience assembling, wiring, testing, or troubleshooting industrial equipment, electrical panels, control systems, or comparable technical systems.
