Performs moderately complex tasks relating to the manufacture, assembly, repair, or modification of products. Routine work is performed without instructions, while new assignments receive general instructions. The work requires judgment to resolve problems and make recommendations, and decisions or actions may have a minor impact on work-unit operations or schedules. The role works under general supervision and refers situations not covered by standard processes, procedures, and methods to an expert resource. The operator may demonstrate work methods to new employees and exchanges factual information with supervisors, coworkers, team members, and, when applicable, external contacts. Work includes hand soldering and manual assembly; setting up, operating, and performing basic maintenance on custom and standard semiautomatic or automated assembly equipment and tools; and operating automated equipment and functional test units. The operator moves between operations or products according to the schedule, inspects products using visual, automated, electronic, and mechanical procedures, and uses diagnostic programs for electronic and functional testing. The role also involves troubleshooting and communicating routine or basic defects, applying skills in the primary work area and some additional areas, and coaching others. The position is performed in a manufacturing environment, with occasional to frequent exposure to noise, dust, chemicals, operating machinery, and temperature extremes. Physical tasks may include repetitive manual motions, precise hand-eye coordination, sitting or standing in confined workspaces, using tools and equipment, handling materials, and periodically lifting objects. Extended visual concentration on detailed documentation and product assemblies is required. Duties are carried out within company and statutory health and safety guidelines.
