The role of Electronic Assembler at Positronic is vital to the company’s production process. This position involves assembling electronic components, subassemblies, or complete systems by accurately following work orders and production drawings. Safety, precision, and quality are central to this role, with a strong emphasis on complying with regulatory standards such as OSHA, NFPA, DNR, EPA, and Amphenol sustainability practices.
