Job Description
This role involves assembling and packaging medical devices used for diabetic care in a clean-room environment. You will receive comprehensive training across several operations, including packaging diabetic testing kits, hand assembling diabetic needles, learning basic coil winding, and operating entry-level machinery. The work combines standing and seated tasks, requires strong attention to detail, and emphasizes quality over quantity in a fast-paced production setting.
Responsibilities
Assemble and package diabetic testing kits by following detailed work orders and standard operating procedures.
Place 5-10 components into each testing kit, ensuring all required parts are included and correctly positioned.
Run completed kits through a scanner to register the product ID number accurately and place them onto racks for final packaging.
Perform hand assembly of diabetic needles while seated at a workstation, working with small parts ranging from the size of a pen cap to a sewing needle.
Progress to assembling up to approximately 1,400 parts per shift while maintaining high quality and consistency.
Inspect components and assemblies visually and with microscopes as required, identifying and reporting any defects or quality concerns.
Learn and perform coil winding by placing very fine wires into a clamp using tweezers and monitoring the machine as it winds coils.
Operate entry-level medical assembly machinery that builds diabetic needles, monitoring the equipment for jams or malfunctions.
Collect finished products from machines, place them into bags, label them correctly, and prepare them for further processing or shipment.
Maintain a clean and organized workstation in compliance with clean-room and safety regulations.
Follow all quality control procedures and documentation requirements to support traceability and regulatory compliance.
Work effectively in a fast-paced environment while prioritizing accuracy and product quality over output volume.
Collaborate with team members and communicate clearly with supervisors regarding production status, issues, or improvement opportunities.
