Mechanical Assembly Technician
Dracoe Factory
Reports To: Chief Manufacturing Officer
About The Factory
The Factory is where concepts are engineered, industrialized, and executed at scale. We take validated designs - developed internally in our Workshop or provided by customers - and progress them through rigorous Design for Assembly (DfA) and Design for Manufacturing (DfM) processes. Our focus is on optimizing products for automated, repeatable, high- throughput production. Our mandate is simple: deliver reliable output that meets performance, quality, and cost targets. The Factory integrates advanced manufacturing processes within a single, tightly controlled production environment to ensure consistency and scalability. Our operating model is data-driven and transparent by design. Clear performance metrics, robust process controls, and closed-loop feedback systems enable continuous improvement and uncompromising manufacturing excellence.
Role
You will be responsible for performing mechanical assembly of our products in accordance with defined work instructions, drawings, and quality standards. You will ensure that mechanical components and assemblies are built accurately, safely, and consistently to specification.
As a key member of the production team, you will support manufacturing operations by executing hands-on mechanical assembly tasks, identifying issues, and escalating deviations to engineering or supervision as required. You will work closely with Manufacturing Engineers, Mechanical Engineers, and Quality Control to ensure assemblies meet required standards.
Through disciplined execution, attention to detail, and adherence to standard work, you will contribute directly to product quality, throughput, and on-time delivery. This is a hands-on technician role requiring practical mechanical skills and experience in manufacturing or industrial assembly environments. You will be expected to operate confidently at the workstation level; assembling parts, using tools and fixtures correctly, and following safety and quality procedures. You will support a culture of precision, accountability, safety, and continuous improvement on the shop floor.
