ASSEMBLY STAFF

JOB DESCRIPTION

What you’ll be building: Our lighting components go into avionic displays used in commercial and military aircraft cockpits.

The job – Assembly Staff

You’ll be assembling small, tiny, high-precision lighting components by hand — the kind of parts that end up in military aircraft, avionics panels, and defense systems. This is an entry-level position with exposure to engineering and manufacturing. It is careful, quiet, repetitive work that requires you to care about getting it right every single time.

We’ll train you. Most people are fully up to speed within a few days. What we can’t train is the disposition — the kind of person who slows down when it matters, notices when something doesn’t look right, and takes satisfaction in a clean and accurate finished part.

If that’s you, keep reading.

What your days look like

• Hand-assembling precision lighting components and subassemblies at your workstation
• Following detailed work instructions — accuracy matters more than speed
• Inspecting your own work before it moves to the next stage
• Keeping your workspace clean, organized, and audit-ready
• Working closely with a small, experienced team in a quiet production environment

Who we’re looking for

Not a resume — a type of person.

• You have steady hands and genuine patience for detailed work
• You find satisfaction in repetitive tasks done correctly, not frustration
• You show up on time, every time, and take reliability seriously
• You ask questions when something doesn’t look right instead of hoping it is fine
• Previous hands-on work — assembly, electronics, manufacturing, even hobbies like model-building or crafts — is a plus, not a requirement

What you get

• $17–$20 per hour, with increases tied to your performance — not a calendar
• Opportunity for overtime
• Full benefits: health insurance after three (3) months of service and paid time off
• Stable full-time schedule — we’ve been in business 52 years and we are

not going anywhere

• On-the-job training from day one — no aerospace background required
• A small team where your work is visible and your contribution actually matters
• The kind of company where people tend to stay
• Opportunity for growth

Documentation

You must be able to provide a full I-9 packet with legal documents.

About Lumitron

We’ve been making aerospace and defense lighting components for 52 years. Our parts are in military aircraft around the world — cockpit panels, night vision systems, crew stations. We’re a small team in Berkeley Heights, New Jersey, and we take our work seriously because the people using our components do too.

We are not a warehouse. We are not a factory floor. We’re a precision manufacturing shop where quality is the whole job.

How to apply

Send us a current resume, and/or a few sentences about yourself — what kind of work you’ve done, why this sounds like a fit — to sales@lumitron.com with the subject line “Assembly Staff.”

We read every one.

If you’ve ever built something with your hands and felt proud of how it came out — this is probably your kind of position.
