• Operate ultra-precision diamond turning machines and surface grinders to match fit spindle components.
• Perform mechanical and electrical sub-assembly, including bearing installation, rotor balancing, and wiring.
• Conduct functional testing and calibration of spindles to meet stringent performance specifications.
• Use precision measurement tools (micrometers, dial indicators, etc.) to verify tolerances and alignment.
• Maintain accurate documentation of assembly steps, test results, and quality checks.
• Collaborate with engineering and quality teams to resolve technical issues and support continuous improvement.
• Follow cleanroom protocols and maintain a clean, organized, and safe work environment.

This is what you’ll need to be successful in this role

• High School Diploma or GED required; technical certification or associate degree in mechanical or electrical technology preferred.
• 2+ years of experience in precision assembly or manufacturing, preferably in aerospace, medical devices, or ultra-precision equipment.
• Strong mechanical aptitude and manual dexterity.
• Ability to read and interpret blueprints, schematics, and technical documentation.
• Proficient in the use of hand tools, torque drivers, and measurement instruments.

Who we are

• AMETEK  consists of two operating groups, both with highly-differentiated technology and leading positions in niche markets with electronic instruments and electromechanical devices. We don’t just manufacture market-leading electronic instruments and electromechanical devices – we use innovation to make the world a better place; technology to improve lives and talent to solve challenges that matter.
• AMETEK has been publicly traded on the NYSE since 1930 and is a component of the S&P 500.
• PRECITECH designs and manufactures ultra precision machining solutions for freeform diamond turning, milling, and grinding which are used to produce optical lenses, mold inserts, mirrors, and precision mechanical components. Our diamond turning machines produce rotationally symmetric, asymmetric, freeform, and sculpted geometries with form tolerances in the sub-micron range and nanometer surface finishes.
