We are hiring an Electronics Assembler for a specialty ceramics manufacturer in Bellefonte, PA. The company is a leading producer of specialty elements. The parts you build go into defense systems, medical ultrasound equipment, precision actuators, and industrial sensors.

This is precision bench work, not a fast-paced line. If you take pride in a clean solder joint and enjoy detailed hands-on work, this is a long-term home.

- Solder wires, leads, and terminations to small ceramic parts and assemblies
- Perform potting operations and work with molds and fixtures
- Assemble small components requiring a high level of manual dexterity
- Follow work instructions, drawings, and established procedures
- Visually inspect your own work and flag parts that don't meet spec
- Record production data and complete basic documentation
- Maintain a clean, organized work area and follow all safety requirements
- Work with production, quality, and engineering to resolve issues on the floor

WHAT YOU NEED
- Hands-on soldering experience, OR assembly experience with small precision components
- Strong manual dexterity and steady hands; comfortable working with very small parts
- Ability to follow detailed written and verbal instructions
- Attention to detail and a quality-first mindset
- Reliable attendance and the ability to work independently after training

NICE TO HAVE (not required - we will train the right person)
- Soldering experience in electronics, medical device, or defense manufacturing
- Familiarity with IPC-A-610 or J-STD-001 soldering standards
- Experience with potting, epoxy, or encapsulation processes
- Prior work in an ISO 9001 certified facility
- Experience with ceramics, sensors, transducers, or other small electronic components

WHY THIS ROLE
- Consistent Monday-Friday day schedule with a flexible start time - no rotating shifts, no weekends
- Climate-controlled, seated bench work in a clean facility
- Work on parts that go into real defense and medical applications
- Local to Bellefonte, State College, Pleasant Gap, Milesburg, and Centre Hall - short commute
