Production Associate/Assembler

Production Associate (Assembler)

Summary
Production Associates will be trained in all areas of the Sealtron manufacturing process to assemble connectors to help reduce mistakes during the assembly process. The employee will work from verbal and visual instructions from the Production Lead(s) and sample set-up pieces. The Production Associate will be required to count and record parts, complete the required daily documentation, and use our computerized work order system to properly ‘clock’ jobs in and out of different processes. The job also entails light sweeping and cleaning worktables at the end of each shift.

Responsibilities:
The Production Associate will be placed in varying assembly areas as needed and is not assigned to only one task. Assembly includes but is not limited to the following manufacturing processes:

• Bay Pin: The Production Associate inserts pins (one at a time) into the press and aligns the shell into the press. Operate a press to install bay pins into the shells. Inspect part for quality.
• Assembly: The Production Associate will be trained to assemble shells, electrodes, and glass pellets onto carbon fixtures before sealing. They will also be trained to align the electrodes properly using aligners.
• Parts Loading: The Production Associate will load parts on the furnace belts, not distorting the assembly, paying attention to the positioning of the top hats and liners. Corrects all positioning problems before starting the sealing cycle. The furnace/oven process takes 1.5 hours from end to end. Unload from the sealing furnaces as directed by the standard operating procedure. Check the furnace and record temperature, generator readings, belt speed, cooling jacket temperatures, etc.
• Wiring: Using small hand tools and wire, the Production Associate must wrap thin gauge wire around connector electrodes and or shell, which makes an electrical connection. The Production Associate will be required to perform routine visual inspections and record counts of incoming and outgoing pieces.
• Testing: All parts are tested for both leak and electrical connectivity.
• Parts Marking: The Production Associate will mark parts by work order red, black, and/or blue.
• Inserting: Gaskets and O-rings are installed utilizing small hand tools. Glue application is applied before Gaskets and O-rings.

**All procedures above require the Production Associate to inspect parts for quality and report any irregularities to the Lead or Supervisors before moving to the next process.
Also, the Production Associate must exercise extreme care during daily functions to avoid damage to the shell or electrodes and is required to perform other tasks and duties as may be assigned by the Department Supervisor.
