• Follow detailed work instructions, standard operating procedures, and production documentation accurately and consistently.
• Perform clean room assembly tasks while adhering to gowning requirements and contamination control procedures.
• Support packaging and final packaging activities, ensuring products are correctly labeled, packaged, and prepared for shipment.
• Work across different product lines and assembly areas as needed, demonstrating flexibility and willingness to be cross-trained.
• Collaborate with team members in a production environment to meet daily and weekly output goals.
• Maintain a clean, organized, and safe work area in accordance with clean room and safety standards.
• Use basic computer skills to enter production data, follow electronic work instructions, or record inspection results as required.
• Adapt to increasing complexity of builds over time and continuously improve speed and accuracy as training progresses.
• Be open to transitioning to another nearby facility after the initial assignment period, based on performance and business needs.

• 6+ months to 1 year of medical assembly experience, preferably with catheter assemblies.
• 6+ months to 1 year of experience using a microscope for assembly or inspection tasks.
