About THIS POSTING
Temperature Specialists, Inc. is a manufacturer of custom, high-accuracy temperature sensors used in industrial and laboratory applications worldwide. We are hiring for two related production assembly roles across our General Assembly and MgO Assembly departments. Both positions involve precision sensor assembly work and share a common set of core skills - we will place the right candidate in the department that best fits their background and our current production needs.
Sensor Assembler
General Assembly Department. Core assembly role focused on resistance welding, hydraulic press operation, and potting compound processes to build finished temperature sensors.
MgO Sensor Fabricator
MgO Assembly Department. Broader fabrication role adding TIG welding, lathe operation, belt sanding, and sandblasting on top of core assembly processes.
No prior experience is required for either role - we provide comprehensive in-house training. A background in manufacturing, assembly, welding, or any hands-on production work is a plus.
CORE RESPONSIBILITIES - BOTH ROLES
Read and interpret blueprints, work orders, and instruction paperwork to assemble temperature sensor components accurately to specificationPerform resistance welding under a microscope to join small sensor components, requiring steady hands and sustained attention to detailOperate a hydraulic press to assemble and compress sensor components to specified tolerancesPerform potting compound processes to seal and protect finished sensor assembliesUse dimensional measuring equipment to verify part specifications and inspect finished assemblies for qualityDocument production output and log completed work orders to support traceability and schedulingCommunicate with other departments on assembly schedules and custom sensor requirementsADDITIONAL RESPONSIBILITIES - MGO SENSOR FABRICATOR
Perform TIG welding of stainless-steel sensor components, producing clean, consistent welds to specificationOperate a manual lathe to machine and finish sensor components during the assembly processUse a belt sander to grind and finish metal components to required dimensions and surface finishOperate sandblasting equipment to surface-treat MgO sensor components and assembliesWHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR
Good fine motor skills and manual dexterity - both roles involve working with small sensor components and precision equipmentAbility to perform sustained close-focus work under a microscopeStrong attention to detail and a commitment to consistent, accurate output in a production environmentAbility to read and follow blueprints, work orders, and written assembly instructionsCollaborative attitude and comfort working within a team environmentPrior experience in manufacturing, assembly, welding, or a related hands-on field is preferred but not required - all technical skills are developed through our in-house training programWHY JOIN TEMPERATURE SPECIALISTS
Two open roles - we'll place the right candidate based on your background and our current needs
Comprehensive in-house training - no prior sensor assembly or welding experience required
Stable, full-time position with a specialty manufacturer of precision custom-engineered products
Opportunity to develop in-demand skills in precision assembly, resistance welding, and sensor fabrication

Temperature Specialists, Inc. is a manufacturer of custom, high-accuracy wire-wound temperature sensors used in industrial and laboratory applications worldwide. We are hiring a Sensor Element Fabricator to join our specialized winding room team — the first and most critical step in our sensor manufacturing process.
In this precision assembly and production operator role, you will fabricate the wire-wound ceramic elements at the core of every RTD temperature sensor we make. This is hands-on, detail-oriented work performed under a microscope using specialized equipment. No prior experience in wire winding or sensor manufacturing is required — we provide comprehensive in-house training. A background in manufacturing, assembly, or production work is a plus.
WHAT YOU’LL DO
Operate a specialized wire winding machine under a microscope to precisely wind platinum wire onto ceramic tubes — the foundational step in RTD temperature sensor fabricationUse diamond wheel cutting equipment to cut ceramic tubes to specified lengths with precisionPerform a high-temperature glassing process using an industrial furnace to coat and seal ceramic sensor elementsComplete small-part assembly operations, including attaching palladium wire connections to finished wire-wound ceramic elementsUse hand tools including tweezers, micro cutters, and heat guns to handle and prepare miniature components throughout the fabrication processRead and interpret blueprints and work orders; use dimensional measuring equipment to inspect finished elements for quality and dimensional accuracyDocument production output and log completed work orders to support traceability and scheduling across the manufacturing processWork collaboratively within a small winding room team to meet daily production targets and communicate with downstream assembly departments on schedules and custom part requirementsSupport training of new team members as needed; perform routine maintenance and cleaning of winding room equipmentWhat We’re Looking For
Strong fine motor skills and manual dexterity — you'll be working with very small components and precision equipment dailyAbility to perform close detail work under a microscope for extended periodsHigh attention to detail and a commitment to consistent, quality output in a production environmentAbility to read and follow blueprints, work prints, and written/verbal instructions accuratelyCollaborative attitude and comfort working within a small, close-knit teamPrior experience in manufacturing, production assembly, machine operation, or a related trade is preferred but not required — all technical skills specific to this role are developed through our in-house training programWhy Join Temperature Specialists
Work with a specialized, skilled team manufacturing precision products used across diverse industriesComprehensive in-house training — no prior wire winding or sensor fabrication experience requiredStable, full-time position with a manufacturer of highly specialized, custom-engineered productsOpportunity to develop rare, in-demand skills in precision manufacturing and sensor element fabricationCompensation details: 15-18 Hourly Wage
