Location: San Diego
3-Month Temp-to-Hire
Position Summary
This is a hands-on technical leader responsible for overseeing daily manufacturing operations while serving as the primary production-level expert for system troubleshooting and technical problem-solving.
This role requires more than strong electromechanical assembly skills — the ideal candidate brings a repair and field-service mindset, with the ability to understand how the full system functions, diagnose malfunctions, and resolve technical issues based on root cause analysis.
You will work closely with Engineering to support system testing, investigations, and continuous improvement efforts. While the system itself is not highly complex to build, it requires precision, manual dexterity, and a deep understanding of integrated mechanical and electrical components to effectively troubleshoot and service units.
Key Responsibilities
- Lead and support daily production activities to meet output and quality targets
- Perform advanced electromechanical assembly of systems and subassemblies
- Serve as the primary technical resource for troubleshooting system malfunctions and performance issues
- Diagnose, repair, and service electromechanical systems using system-level understanding
- Identify root causes of technical issues and implement corrective actions
- Partner directly with Engineering on testing, validation, investigations, and continuous improvement initiatives
- Interpret engineering drawings, schematics, wiring diagrams, and technical documentation
- Support failure analysis and recommend design or process improvements
- Oversee component receiving, inspection, labeling, and inventory organization
- Ensure compliance with quality standards and regulatory requirements
- Train and mentor production staff on assembly techniques and troubleshooting best practices
- Maintain accurate production and service documentation
- Strong hands-on electromechanical assembly experience
- Demonstrated technical troubleshooting and repair experience (service technician or similar background strongly preferred)
- Ability to understand integrated mechanical/electrical systems at a system level
- Proven experience diagnosing and resolving technical malfunctions
- Experience collaborating directly with Engineering on testing, investigations, and issue resolution
- Root cause analysis and problem-solving skills
- Experience in regulated manufacturing environments (Class II medical device preferred)
- Strong knowledge of manufacturing processes and quality standards
- Excellent communication skills and ability to bridge Production and Engineering
- High manual dexterity and strong attention to detail
- Ability to thrive in a fast-paced, evolving production environment
- Technical service, repair technician, or field service experience
- Experience supporting product testing or engineering investigations
- Background in electromechanical systems servicing rather than assembly-only roles
- 3-month temp-to-hire, hourly, fully onsite role in San Diego
- Extended standing and movement in production environment
- Exposure to machinery, noise, and varying temperatures
- Ability to lift up to 30 lbs
- Occasional infrequent travel may be required
