Electronic Assembler

Description

Radio Design Labs designs and manufactures precision audio electronics used in broadcast, live sound, and professional recording environments. Every product that leaves our Prescott facility carries the handwork of our assembly team people who take genuine pride in building things right the first time.

We are a small, focused company. That means your work is visible, your contribution matters, and the team around you is counting on you just as you can count on them.

WHY JOIN OUR TEAM

We’re not just filling a seat. We’re looking for people who want to grow with us. Here’s what that looks like:

• Real training. Structured 12-week onboarding with a dedicated mentor, not just a supervisor.
• Earn more as you grow. A pay increase when you pass our internal soldering competency evaluation (end of Week 12 or sooner).
• A defined career path. Assembler I, Assembler II,  Assembler III, with clear skill milestones for each step.
• Culture that means something. A team that lives its values. Respect and candor are not poster words here, they’re daily practice.
• A great place to live and work. Prescott, AZ a beautiful high-country setting, reasonable cost of living, no commute chaos.

Requirements

Day-to-day, you’ll be hands-on at your workstation assembling precision electronic products that go into professional audio equipment used by engineers, broadcasters, and musicians around the world.

• Assembling electronic components, transformers, resistors, capacitors, ICs, connectors, and more following visual drawings, photos, and written instructions.

• Performing hand-soldering of through-hole and surface mount components using lead-free solder, producing clean and repeatable joints.

• Operating hand, electric, and pneumatic tools in a well-organized workstation.

• Inspecting your own work against production specs using  tools and magnification devices.

• Following safety protocols and PPE guidelines at all times.

• Collaborating with a small, experienced team and contributing to a culture of honest, supportive communication.

You’re a strong fit if you:

• Soldering experience (hobbyist, vocational, or professional all count).

• Are highly detail-oriented and take genuine pride in quality work.

• Have steady hands and the patience to do things right, not just fast.

• Can read and follow visual or written instructions independently.

• Communicate openly, you ask when you’re unsure rather than guessing.

• Are honest about what you know and don’t know.

• Follow through. When you say you’ll do something, you do it.

THIS JOB IS FOR

We want to be clear about who thrives here so you can make an informed decision before you apply.

You took apart electronics as a kid just to see how they worked. You've built a PC, soldered a kit, wound a coil, or stayed up late on a project just because you had to finish it. You love making something real with your hands and you take it personally when it's not done right.

If that sounds like you, keep reading.

You get satisfaction from building things that actually work. Clean joints, tight assemblies, zero shortcuts.

"I made that" means something to you. You want to point at a finished product and know your hands built it.

You're hungry to learn a real, marketable skill and you want someone to teach you properly, not just throw you in and hope for the best.

You show up. On time, ready to work, consistent. Your team counts on you and you take that seriously.

You own your mistakes. When something's off, you say so, fix it, and move on. No drama.

You're looking for more than a job. You want a craft, a career path, and a team that respects the work.

We offer:

Our assembler role is built on four progressive tiers: Trainee, Level 1, Level 2, and Level 3, with an optional path to Lead Assembler. Each tier reflects a real jump in skill, not just time served, you advance by demonstrating specific competencies like solder quality, documentation accuracy, and self-inspection, not simply by waiting out a calendar. Typical timing is 90 days to Level 1, six months to Level 2, and a year to Level 3, though strong performers can move faster. Each promotion comes with more advanced assembly work, greater independence, and a pay increase, so the path forward is concrete and earned.

Benefits Package:

• Comprehensive Medical Plan
• Dental Plans
• Vision Care Plan
• 401 (k) Retirement Plan
• Life insurance
• Supplemental Life Insurance
• Short & Long-Term Disability
• Paid time off
