Wavelength Electronics designs and manufactures precision electronics for critical Laser Systems.  Our drivers are used in challenging applications like surgery, medical tests, dangerous chemical detectors, climate research – and other technology that significantly improves lives.  What we do matters in the world.

We’re looking for someone to work with our current Manufacturing Engineer to keep the manufacturing equipment running, develop robust assembly processes, and spec/install new equipment.  Hours are flexible, Monday through Friday, at our automated, clean manufacturing facility.  We are constantly experimenting with new processes and upgrading our capabilities.

Benefits include competitive wages, paid health insurance premiums (100% for employee AND dependents), HSA contribution, 401k, paid vacation, sick leave and holidays, and an excellent working environment.

The team you’d be joining is well trained, takes pride in their work, and comes to work with a smile.  Individuals have autonomy over their work with support for questions and brainstorming from senior members of the team. This role is an opportunity to gain high-tech, hands-on skills in a friendly, respectful environment.

Key Objectives:

• Keep the manufacturing equipment running and proactively monitored and maintained.
• Lead SMT process development for all new products and EMS jobs.
• Complete first article inspection to IPC standards.
• Develop new production processes and specify equipment to accomplish tasks.
• Determine root cause of failures to improve processes.

You’ll love working at Wavelength if you are…

• A Creative Problem Solver: You are resourceful, confident, flexible, and positive.
• Excellent at troubleshooting: You are calm when something fails, work with urgency to narrow down the problem through schematics, user guides or tech support, and get it back up and running quickly.
• Organized:  You know what is due for maintenance and have spare parts on hand.
• A Fan of Variety: You thrive when each day is different from the next.
• Attentive to detail: You know or want to learn IPC standards.  You’ll be able to see if an 0402 is soldered correctly, if a reflow profile needs to be tweaked a few degrees, or if a BGA aperture is clogged.
• Process Driven: You know if you nail the process, quality follows, and you always nail the process.
• Personable: You are professional with both written and verbal communication.  You are sociable and earn the trust of the team.
• Playful: You have fun while working hard.  We laugh and celebrate wins as a team.
