What you'll do

• Assemble miniature products and small electronic components using documented steps and reference samples.
• Prepare and finish small parts, including cleaning, sanding, fitting, and painting where the product requires it.
• Help with basic wiring and soldering as appropriate to your skills and the production task.
• Inspect fit, finish, and workmanship; perform routine functional tests and flag defects before products are packed.
• Pack finished products carefully and check that orders contain the correct parts and accessories.
• Keep parts organized, track production quantities, and flag low supplies or missing components.

• Share practical suggestions that make repeat tasks clearer and reduce errors.

What we're looking for

• Care and precision when handling small parts and using hand tools.
• The ability to follow written or visual assembly instructions and ask questions when a step is unclear.
• Patience with detailed, repetitive work and a consistent approach to quality.
• Reliability, clear communication, and good organization.
• A willingness to learn our products and production methods.
