Operator Jobs

Performs moderately complex tasks relating to the manufacture, assembly, repair, or modification of products. Routine work is performed without instructions, while new assignments are completed with general instructions. The work requires judgment to resolve problems and make recommendations, and decisions may have a minor impact on work-unit operations or schedules. Works under general supervision and refers situations not covered by standard processes, procedures, and methods to an expert resource. May demonstrate work methods to new employees. Interacts with supervisors, coworkers, and team members by exchanging factual information and providing some explanation; interactions with external contacts, if applicable, involve similar exchanges. The role performs hand soldering and manual assembly; sets up, operates, and performs basic maintenance on custom and standard semiautomatic and/or automated assembly equipment and tools; and operates automated and functional test units. The operator moves between operations and products as schedules dictate, inspects products using visual, automated, electronic, and mechanical procedures, and uses diagnostic programs for electronic and functional testing. The operator troubleshoots and communicates routine or basic defects, and applies foundation skills in the primary work area while coaching others and using additional skills outside that area. The position is based in a manufacturing environment, with occasional to frequent exposure to noise, dust, chemicals, operating machinery, and temperature extremes. Duties involve periodic light physical effort, repetitive motions requiring manual dexterity and precise hand-eye coordination, sitting and/or standing in confined workspaces, using tools and equipment, moving and handling materials, and potentially periodic heavy manual effort including lifting. The role also requires extended visual concentration on detailed documentation and product assemblies. Work is performed within company and statutory health and safety guidelines.
