Senior Manufacturing Technician

Description Summary

This role is a floor-driven Senior Manufacturing Technician with a strong mechanical and industrial foundation, responsible for standardizing and scaling assembly, test, and calibration processes across semiconductor solutions, instrumentation, and control valve product lines. The position exists to increase throughput, reduce variability, and enable rapid product introduction, while maintaining high quality standards in a mixed environment of distribution, light manufacturing, and engineered solutions.

About the role

Develop and continuously improve assembly processes for: Semiconductor solution subassemblies Instrumentation (pressure, flow, temperature) Control valves and positioners Create clear, repeatable work instructions, process flows, and visual standards Drive consistency across builds to reduce variation and rework

Responsibilities

• Own setup, execution, and optimization of test and calibration processes
• Ensure accuracy, repeatability, and traceability of calibration outputs
• Identify and implement improvements in test efficiency and data capture
• Build and maintain manufacturing routings, BOM structures, and process steps in Acumatica ERP
• Align ERP structure with actual shop floor processes (no “paper process gaps”)
• Enable production visibility, scheduling accuracy, and cost tracking
• Design and implement fixtures, test setups, and assembly aids to: Improve repeatability Reduce cycle time Enhance safety and ergonomics
• Partner with external vendors as needed for fabrication
• Troubleshoot and support RMA (Return Material Authorization) cases
• Drive corrective and preventive actions (CAPA)
• Train and support the in-process and final inspection standards
• Collaborate with Quality to ensure compliance and continuous improvement
• Balance quality rigor with production efficiency
• Train and mentor technicians on: Assembly processes Test/calibration procedures Best practices and standards
• Provide hands-on leadership on the floor (75% of time)
• Support development of a scalable, high-performing operations team
• Assist in the trouble shooting and red lining of existing processes and improvement
• Support new product introduction (NPI) by enabling assembly methods, configuration standards, and test and calibration procedures

Requirements

• 5–10+ years in: Manufacturing technician, senior technician, or manufacturing engineering role
• Strong hands-on experience in: Mechanical and instrumentation assembly Test and calibration environments
• Demonstrated ability to translate real-world builds into standardized processes
• Specific Requirements: Willingness to research for alternative solutions Knowledge or interests in how manufacturing lines work, application Extremely responsive, flexible, and self-motivated Strong organizational and problem-solving skills Excellent communication abilities
