Job DescriptionJob Title: Weekend Machine Operator
Job Description

This role operates laser equipment to produce medical products, including biowearable sensors such as glucose monitors, wound care products like bandages, and components used for diagnostic devices. You will work with multiple types of machines, receive cross-training, and contribute to high-quality, life-improving medical products in a fast-paced production environment.

Responsibilities

• Operate laser and related production machines to manufacture medical products according to established procedures and specifications.
• Run production cycles on machines, ensuring proper setup, operation, and completion of each run.
• Inspect parts as they come off the machines, using measuring tools such as micrometers and calipers to verify quality and adherence to specifications.
• Conduct tests on parts and products to confirm performance and quality standards.
• Package finished items accurately and safely, following documented packaging requirements.
• Document production, inspection, and test information both manually and digitally in logs, forms, or systems as required.
• Follow safety, cleanliness, and quality protocols in a lab-style production environment, including wearing required protective garments.
• Participate in cross-training to learn and operate different machines and processes within the department.
• Identify and communicate any equipment, quality, or process issues to the appropriate personnel in a timely manner.
• Maintain an organized work area and support overall production flow to meet daily and weekend shift targets.

Essential Skills

• Experience in machine operation within a manufacturing, mechanical, or medical assembly environment, preferably 6+ months.
• Mechanical inclination with the ability to understand how machines function and respond to basic mechanical issues.
• High attention to detail for inspecting parts, running tests, and documenting information accurately.
• Ability to perform assembly, packaging, and inspection tasks in a production setting.
• Basic proficiency with measuring tools such as micrometers and calipers.
• Ability to operate laser equipment or willingness to learn laser operation under supervision.
• Consistent work history demonstrating reliability and commitment.
• Ability to work the designated weekend shift schedule (Friday 10:00 a.m.–10:00 p.m., Saturday and Sunday 8:00 a.m.–8:00 p.m.).

Additional Skills & Qualifications

• Previous experience in medical device manufacturing or medical assembly.
• Prior exposure to laser operation in a production environment.
• Comfort working with both manual and digital documentation systems.
• Ability to thrive in a smaller team environment and collaborate effectively with coworkers across different shifts.

Why Work Here?

You join a stable organization with very low turnover, where people genuinely enjoy the laid-back, supportive work environment. Upon conversion to permanent status, you gain access to excellent benefits, including profit-sharing opportunities that have consistently paid out in recent years, a competitive 401(k) plan with a generous dollar-for-dollar match that vests immediately, and tuition reimbursement to support your ongoing development. The facility is growing, offering long-term stability and advancement potential, and the culture encourages comfort and focus by allowing team members to listen to music, podcasts, or audiobooks while they work.

Work Environment

The role is based in a smaller production facility with a close-knit team, where weekend shifts run Friday from 10:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. and Saturday and Sunday from 8:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. The environment uses laser and other production machinery to manufacture medical products and can be fairly loud, though you may wear one earbud to listen to music, podcasts, or audiobooks while working. Team sizes are modest, with approximately 15–20 people on first shift, about 5 people on second shift, and 3–4 people on third shift, fostering a collaborative and supportive atmosphere. The setting is lab-style rather than a full clean room, and you wear lab coats and hair nets as part of the standard attire to maintain product cleanliness and quality.
