Project Overview
The client is launching a brand‑new pilot manufacturing line to build a prototype Fiber cable/connector product. This is a true greenfield effort - new processes, new equipment, and a fully new Fiber assembly line built station‑by‑station inside the Shakopee manufacturing lab.
The line includes multiple stations such as sorting, stripping, prepping, coating, assembly, inspection, testing, and documentation. All technicians will be cross‑trained across every station to ensure scalability and flexibility. Senior technicians are currently validating the first stations, and the team will expand to 10-12 technicians through early 2025.
This is hands‑on, lab‑based build work involving assembly, inspection, equipment operation, documentation, and quality assurance.
Job Responsibilities
Technicians will:
- Perform hands‑on Fiber assembly on a prototype product line
- Use microscopes, crimpers, stripping tools, epoxies, and precision assembly equipment.
- Conduct visual inspections and quality checks at assigned stations.
- Follow detailed work instructions, drawings, and SOPs.
- Document production results, measurements, and build notes (Excel/internal logs)
- Troubleshoot build issues and escalate defects to engineering
- Rotate across all stations to eventually build the full product end‑to‑end
- Work in a lab and manufacturing floor environment - not an office role
Required Experience
No prior Fiber experience is required - CommScope will train. We are seeking candidates with:
- Strong mechanical or electro‑mechanical assembly background (cable harness, PCB assembly, medical device, aerospace, robotics, automotive, machine assembly, etc.)
- Comfort using small tools: crimpers, cutters, microscopes, calipers, tweezers.
- Ability to follow written instructions and document work accurately.
GCS is acting as an Employment Agency in relation to this vacancy.
