Assistant Manager – Production Supervisor

This is a working leadership role, not a desk-only position. The successful candidate will be actively involved on the production floor—assisting with soldering, assembly, testing, and technical troubleshooting—while also managing workflow, quality control, and staff supervision.

Key Responsibilities:

• Supervise and support a small team of 10 technical and production staff
• Actively work on the floor to help maintain production flow—including soldering, assembly, and testing tasks
• Perform manual and automated soldering (through-hole and SMT) as needed
• Conduct QA checks on wireless sensor systems before shipment
• Coordinate workflow, prioritize jobs, and assist with scheduling to meet build targets
• Act as the on-site lead during periods when the CEO is away on travel
• Uphold safety, cleanliness, and efficiency across a two-floor manufacturing space
• Communicate with engineering and design staff to resolve technical issues and streamline production steps

Technical Skills & Experience:

• Solid experience with hands-on electronics production, especially soldering
• Familiarity with key electronics manufacturing processes:
• SMT assembly using pick-and-place machines
• Wave soldering and reflow techniques
• CNC machining (basic familiarity)
• Potting and encapsulation methods
• Understanding of ESD safety, component handling, and basic electrical testing
• Ability to diagnose simple circuit issues or board failures
• Capable of walking multiple flights of stairs daily and working on your feet for extended periods

Ideal Candidate Profile:

• Strong work ethic and comfortable in a fast-paced, hands-on environment
• Self-starter with leadership potential, able to step in and manage when needed
• Either:
• A recent graduate in electronics or manufacturing management looking to start their career
• Or a mid-level supervisor or technician looking for a new challenge in a tight-knit team environment
• Excellent communication skills and team coordination ability

What We Offer:

• Full technical and managerial training provided
• Collaborative, flexible work environment with direct mentorship
• Performance-based pay adjustment after two months
• Career development in both operations and product manufacturing
