Assembly Engineer at Allied Maker | LAYIQ

Assembly Methods & Optimization
Study and optimize assembly methods across the fixture portfolio: sequence of operations, fixturing, tools, takt, and ergonomics.
Design and build bench fixtures, jigs, and tooling that make quality easier and throughput higher.
Drive continuous-improvement initiatives (Lean/Kaizen) to reduce cycle time, rework, and ergonomic risk without losing the hand-crafted feel.
Documentation & Change Control
Own the library of assembly work instructions (clear, illustrated, and current) for every fixture.
Drive disciplined change control so that improvements and corrections are documented and rolled out cleanly.
Training & Capability
Build and maintain a structured training program for assemblers, including onboarding, cross-training, and certification for critical operations.
Coach assemblers on new methods and verify competency when standards change.
Support new-product introductions with pilot builds and first-article training.
UL Compliance in Assembly & QC
Maintain compliance with applicable UL standards (e.g., UL 1598, UL 8750) in assembly operations and in final QC inspection.
Serve as the primary internal point of contact for UL files, construction details, and field evaluations when required.
Partner with the Quality Control Engineer to ensure final inspection reliably catches anything that would compromise UL listing or customer quality.
Work Environment & Physical Requirements
On-site at the Glen Cove, NY workshop; significant daily time on the assembly floor with additional time at a desk for documentation and design.
Active shop-floor environment; safety glasses and closed-toe footwear required in designated areas.
Requires standing and walking for extended periods and occasional lifting up to 40 lbs when handling fixtures or tooling.
Required Qualifications
Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical, Industrial, or Manufacturing Engineering, or equivalent hands-on experience.
3–5 years of manufacturing or assembly engineering experience in a discrete-manufacturing environment.
Proven experience authoring work instructions, building fixtures, and running structured training.
Working knowledge of UL standards for lighting (UL 1598 / UL 8750) or comparable safety-listed products.
Strong Lean/CI toolkit (5S, standard work, value-stream thinking, 5-Why/8D).
A people-first posture: the ability to teach, coach, and earn trust with experienced assemblers.
