Manufacturing Operator 2 (Day Shift)

The Manufacturing Operator II performs skilled, intermediate level tasks in support of manufacturing operations within a fast-paced, team-oriented environment. This role builds upon foundational operator capabilities and requires greater technical proficiency, problem-solving ability, and ownership of production processes. It executes complex manufacturing tasks, performs equipment setup and advanced troubleshooting, collects and interprets process data, and actively contributes to ongoing efficiency and quality improvements. This position helps maintain predictable production output and supports new process development alongside engineering teams. 

Key Responsibilities: 

Production & Assembly 

• Execute a wide range of manufacturing activities including assembly, testing, inspection, calibration, and intermediate level troubleshooting of production equipment and materials. 

• Work independently with minimal supervision to follow detailed work instructions, process flows, and safety guidelines to ensure consistent high-quality output. 

• Perform more complex tasks requiring greater precision and understanding of process interactions. 

Equipment Setup, Operation & Maintenance 

• Conduct advanced equipment setup, calibration, and preventative maintenance to ensure full operational readiness. 

• Identify recurring equipment issues, perform initial root cause analysis, and coordinate with technicians or engineering for resolution. 

• Support minor repairs and adjustments to maintain throughput and minimize downtime. 

Process Monitoring, Data Collection & Analysis 

• Collect, analyze, and interpret operating or inspection data to maintain process control and detect variation. 

• Perform online equipment and process adjustments within defined limits to optimize quality and productivity. 

• Communicate process trends or abnormalities to engineering for continuous improvement. 

Collaboration, Experiments & Continuous Improvement 

• Work closely with engineering teams to support tests, trials, DOEs, and process validation activities. 

• Provide recommendations for improving documentation, work methods, cycle time, and product quality. 

• Participate in continuous improvement projects, offering insights based on production floor observations. 

Training, Leadership & Team Support 

• Mentor and assist in training Manufacturing Operator I team members on processes, equipment, and best practices. 

• Support team leads in coordinating workflow, ensuring materials, tools, and equipment are prepared for daily operations. 

• Contribute to a positive, collaborative work environment by sharing knowledge and supporting cross-functional teams. 

Preferred Qualifications:

• High school diploma or equivalent. 

• Minimum 1–2 years of experience in manufacturing, assembly, or related technical environments. 

• Demonstrated ability to perform intermediate level tasks with accuracy and minimal supervision. 

• Strong understanding of quality standards, documentation, and safety protocols. 

• Must follow all required safety protocols and wear appropriate PPE. 

• Solid mechanical aptitude with the ability to use precision tools, gauges, and basic test equipment. 

• Experience in electronics, semiconductor, or precision manufacturing. 

• Familiarity with SPC, basic data analysis, or quality control tools. 

• Prior experience mentoring or training team members. 

Work Environment & Physical Requirements:

• Ability to stand, sit, or perform repetitive motions for extended periods. 

• Use of microscopes, precision instruments, and calibrated tools as required. 

• Must follow all required safety protocols, wear appropriate PPE  and clean‑room attire (full coverall suit, hairnet, mask, gloves, etc.) for extended periods of time. 

• Must be able to lift up to 30 lbs.
