Assembly Technician - McKinney, TX

Assembly TechnicianThis role performs hands-on assembly of electronic and mechanical assemblies in a classified production environment within the Antenna Integration Factory (AIF) at the McKinney, TX site. Assembly operations include both production and development/prototype units. The assembly technician will work directly with engineering on production builds and rework tasks.Ability to stand for extended periods and work at both seated and standing positions throughout the shift. Overtime may be required on occasion.What You Will DoPerform hands-on assembly of electronic and mechanical assemblies in a classified production environment.Perform work using detailed work instructions with accompanying photographs attention to detail and strict adherence to documented procedures are essential.Daily operations include clocking into the production tracking system, participating in tier meetings for task assignment, drawing parts kits and sub-assemblies, reviewing work instructions, checking out calibrated torque tools, and gathering required consumables.Visual inspection of all parts and sub-assemblies prior to installation. Some inspections require the use of a microscope or magnifying glass; most are a quick visual check for damage, defects, or nonconformance.Assembly tasks include wire routing, connector mating, bracket installation using feeler gauges, and installation of sub-assemblies into the main assembly. Nearly all fasteners require thread locking compound and torque to specification. Work is currently performed with manual torque drivers and wrenches.Work is performed at both seated workstations and standing positions throughout the shift. Assemblies are built at workstations or using automated bonding machines (SFD)Rework operations removal and replacement of sub-assemblies on units that have failed testing. Rework requires a higher level of understanding of the build process and work instructions, as the sequence does not follow a linear start-to-finish flow. After all work and rework operations are completed, a visual inspection of the affected areas must be performed before the unit is moved forward in the production queue.Work must be documented in the appropriate production system as each operation is completed. When errors, discrepancies, or issues are identified during the build, technicians are expected to stop work and bring the issue to their supervisor and supporting engineer immediatelyQualifications You Must HaveTypically requires HS diploma (or equivalent, e.g. G.E.D. in the US) or vocational/technical education in related discipline with a minimum of 1 year of relevant experienceExperience performing assemblies using work instructions, engineering drawings, schematics, and related documentation with limited supervisionExperience working in a manufacturing or production environment.U.S. Citizen - the ability to obtain and maintain a U.S. government issued security clearance is required.
