ASSEMBLY ENGINEER JOB DESCRIPTION

An Assembly Engineer owns the build. Where a Process Engineer optimizes line output broadly, this role takes direct accountability for a specific product's assembly sequence, fixture design, tolerance verification, and the non-conformance loop that keeps hardware moving toward final acceptance. ISO 9000-registered facilities and manufacturers operating under GMP frameworks rely on this seat to close the distance between engineering drawings and shipped product. Equipment qualification, work instruction authorship, and floor-level troubleshooting define most weeks.

As the Assembly Engineer, you own build readiness for assigned product lines, author work instructions and qualifying fixtures, and resolve non-conformances that prevent hardware from reaching final acceptance. You work within a cross-functional manufacturing team, coordinating directly with design engineers, quality personnel, and production operators to deliver assemblies that meet dimensional and functional requirements on schedule.

Career Impact: Gaining direct ownership of fixture qualification and non-conformance resolution builds the engineering judgment that separates mid-level Assembly Engineers from senior manufacturing leads in ISO-registered facilities.

Business Impact: When assembly sequences are wrong, or fixtures fail tolerance checks, production stops, and customer shipment commitments slip; the Assembly Engineer is the technical owner who prevents that outcome.

Growth Opportunity: Engineers who master work instruction authorship, PFMEA participation, and vendor process transfers at this level are well-positioned to step into Manufacturing Engineer or Process Engineer roles with broader line ownership.

• Develop and maintain assembly work instructions, including build sequences, inspection criteria, and revision control documentation.
• Design and qualify fixtures, jigs, and test equipment to support repeatable product assembly and dimensional verification.
• Execute hands-on assembly and functional testing of products to support development builds and pre-production validation activities.
• Investigate non-conformances, issue corrective and preventive action reports, and drive root cause resolution with production and quality teams.
• Coordinate with design engineers and vendors to resolve assembly-level issues and implement engineering change requests.
• Lead continuous improvement activities on assigned assembly lines, targeting reductions in defect rate, rework, and cycle time.
• Train and guide production operators on assembly procedures, equipment setup, and quality standards.
• Manage laboratory and prototyping resources, including equipment scheduling, calibration tracking, and material inventory.

• Bachelor's degree in Mechanical, Manufacturing, Industrial, or Electrical Engineering, or equivalent work experience.
• 3 or more years of assembly or manufacturing engineering experience, owning build sequences and acceptance testing from the start.
• Proven ability to author work instructions, assembly procedures, and engineering change documentation to production standards.
• Working knowledge of geometric dimensioning and tolerancing as applied to assembly fixtures, incoming inspection, and dimensional verification.
• Experience conducting or supporting process validation activities, including defining acceptance criteria and documenting results.
• Ability to read and interpret engineering drawings, including part and assembly drawings at a component level.
• Strong cross-functional communication skills, with demonstrated ability to work alongside design engineers, quality teams, and production operators.

• Experience participating in Design for Manufacturability reviews or Failure Mode and Effects Analyses at a component or assembly level.
• Familiarity with lean manufacturing methods, including 5S, kaizen event facilitation, and cycle time reduction on production lines.
• Exposure to robotic or semi-automated assembly equipment, including setup, parameter adjustment, and basic troubleshooting.
• Prior experience supporting new product introduction from prototype stage through production qualification or PPAP.

• Non-conformance closure rate, measuring how quickly open NCRs move through root cause and corrective action steps.
• First-pass yield on assigned assembly lines, tracking how often builds complete without rework or repair intervention.
• Work instruction revision cycle time, reflecting how promptly engineering changes are translated into updated production documentation.
• Fixture qualification cycle, measuring the number of builds completed before a fixture requires recalibration or replacement.
• On-time delivery rate for assigned build packages, tracking adherence to production schedule commitments.

• Base Salary Range: $65,000 to $95,000 per year, depending on experience and industry segment
• Bonus: Annual performance bonus of 5% to 10% of base salary
• Equity: Stock options or RSUs are uncommon at this level; offered at growth-stage manufacturers
• Health Benefits: Medical, dental, and vision coverage; employer covers the majority of premiums
• PTO: 15 to 20 days annually, plus standard US public holidays
• Common Perks: Tuition reimbursement, tool allowances, on-site safety gear, and shift differentials where applicable
