About the Role
We are seeking a detail-oriented Technical Operator to join our manufacturing team. This role is ideal for individuals with strong manual dexterity and experience working with small components in a precision manufacturing environment. Fiber Operators play a critical role in producing high-quality fiber optic assemblies by following standardized procedures, maintaining cleanliness, and ensuring consistency throughout the production process.
This is a hands-on position requiring focus, accuracy, and the ability to perform repetitive tasks while maintaining exceptional quality standards.
Key Responsibilities
- Perform precision assembly of fiber optic components using table-mounted tools and specialized equipment.
- Execute fiber cut, strip, clean, and preparation processes according to established work instructions and specifications.
- Work under microscopes and magnification equipment to assemble and inspect small, delicate components.
- Follow visual work instructions, standard operating procedures (SOPs), and production documentation.
- Capture required photos and complete basic production records accurately.
- Maintain a clean, organized, and contamination-free work environment.
- Support production goals while adhering to quality and safety standards.
- Collaborate with Fiber Technicians and other team members within a designated production area.
- Identify potential process issues and report concerns to supervisors or technicians.
Required Qualifications
- High school diploma or equivalent.
- Strong hand-eye coordination and fine motor skills.
- Ability to work with very small parts and components for extended periods.
- Excellent attention to detail and commitment to quality.
- Ability to follow written and verbal instructions accurately.
- Basic computer skills for documentation and recordkeeping.
- Strong work ethic and willingness to learn new processes and techniques.
Preferred Qualifications
- Previous experience in small-parts assembly, manufacturing, or production environments.
- Experience in one or more of the following industries:
- Fiber optics
- Electronics manufacturing
- PCB assembly
- Medical device manufacturing
- Semiconductor or cleanroom environments
- Experience working with microscopes, precision tools, or delicate materials.
What Makes a Successful Fiber Operator?
- Exceptional attention to detail and consistency.
- Strong manual dexterity and precision handling skills.
- Ability to perform repetitive tasks while maintaining high quality standards.
- Positive attitude and eagerness to learn.
- Reliable attendance and strong teamwork skills.
- Comfortable working in a fast-paced manufacturing environment.
Position Scope
Fiber Operators are skilled production professionals focused on executing defined assembly and preparation processes. While they play a critical role in product quality, this position does not include responsibilities such as:
- Making final product acceptance or rejection decisions.
- Interpreting engineering tolerances or specifications independently.
- Performing final technical measurements or quality sign-offs.
- Owning pass/fail quality determinations.
These responsibilities are handled by designated Technicians, Quality personnel, or Engineering teams.
Why Join Us?
- Opportunity to work with advanced fiber optic technology.
- Hands-on technical manufacturing experience.
- Career growth and advancement opportunities into Technician-level roles.
- Collaborative and quality-driven work environment.
- Comprehensive training and ongoing skill development.
