Medical Assembler

Description:Candidates will typically start in the coiling department/area. This is in the cleanroom. They will first have to gown up which includes a smock, booties, hair net andbeard net if applicable, and eye glasses. In this area:- There are stations that have coil winding machines with tables where the coils are placed on to a mechanism that will wind and wrap them around a spindlefor other parts of the medical assembly processes. Kind of looks like a large spool of ribbon or yarn, just metal.- There is little to no microscope in this area at first- After a few days they will go to the 2nd part of the coiling area as well where they will use microscopes about 30-50% of the day to inspect and cut/manipulate the wires as need be.- The coils are used to make wires or components for medical products such as stints, catheters, leads, etc.- They will have to be comfortable sitting and standing, as some parts of the coil winding process is standing for 8 hours a day, and other parts of it require sitting for hours.Once a candidate is trained in, (usually takes about 1-2 weeks), there are a few areas of the assembly process they can be moved to.Eventually, they will try to cross train the candidate on every line. The other areas are below:Molding Area: (Cleanroom)- Candidates in this area will sit 80-90% of the day.- They will be sitting at a table that is connected to the molding machine where the parts or coming from.- They will be inspecting and deburring the parts once they come off the machines to smooth them down and get off any extra materials or metal.- They will use tools such as pliers, filers, and skivs/knifes in during the entire day.- There is no microscope, or very little in this area.- Pretty repetitive as well, and this is still in the cleanroom.CEA Assembly Areas: (Cleanroom)- There are multiple lines in this part of the cleanroom, and they go 1 - 6.- Each line makes a specific part or component for different types of medical products.- In these areas, you will be sitting 6-8 hours of the day, and working with microscopes throughout the whole day. It equates to about 60% or so of your time during the shift.- Candidates will work off travelers/work instructions and use small hand tools such as tweezers, pliers, filers, and little wrenches to perform the assemblies with and without microscopesLaser Welding Area: (Cleanroom)- Usually candidates move into this area once trained in on a majority of the other lines.- In this area, candidates will be working with laser welding machines and microscopes all day to weld and finish very small medical components.- This area requires very high attention to detail and hand dexterity.- You will be sitting or standing all shift, it can vary depending on the process you are in.Implantable Housings Area: (Non-Cleanroom)This department is in the non-cleanroom part of the building, but eye glasses are required at all times in this area. They also will have them wear steel-toed shoe covers since there are more machines in this area. It is louder then the cleanroom, but ear plugs are not required. They do have them available though if a candidate needs them. In this area:- They will be working with automated presses and stamping machines that will punch out and make small metal parts and components.- Some could be the casing for a stimulator that would be implanted into a person for nerve pain control, or other applications similar.- The candidate will put the materials in the machines, run them through the processes, and then pull the parts off the machines once completed.- From here, they will inspect the parts and make sure they are all correct. Some will need to be deburred and filed down if there is excess materials still on the parts.- People will use microscopes some times when inspecting or deburring parts, so have to be open to up to 50% of the day using microscopes in this area.- Also, will be on feet some days for 8 hours and some times sitting for over half the day, so have to be comfortable with both.- More mechanical type work in this area but is entry level still.Basic Overall Job Duties:- Work with microscopes- Work in cleanroom environment- Work with small hand tools under microscope and without microscope- Work with parts about the size of a pen tip- Sit or stand for 8 hours- Use machines to help aid with assemblies- Build medical components and parts- Work off written work instructionsAbout Aerotek:We know that finding work is hard, and finding meaningful work is harder.
