Job Description
Our client is looking for an Assembly Technician to join a team focused on the precision assembly and testing of high-frequency RF microwave cables and connectors within a manufacturing environment. In this role, you will be responsible for building, inspecting, and testing complex cable assemblies, performing soldering—especially cable/connector soldering—and conducting various in-process inspections to ensure product quality.

- 1+ years of RF-related and/or mechanical assembly experience
- Basic math skills

- Strong computer skills for accessing documentation and operating specific programs
- Ability to work from product drawings and written/verbal instructions
- Strong communication skills and attention to detail
- Ability to support quality inspections and record-keeping requirements
- Experience with electrical and mechanical test equipment
