Job Description

Rightstone  is looking for an  Electronic Assemble r in Blacksburg, VA. The pay rate is $35.00/hr. for a full-time, 4-month contract with a strong "Temp-to-Hire" potential for top performers. 

 

In this role, you will be the key person responsible for operating a specialized three-story fiber optic draw tower within a high-precision manufacturing facility. You will manage complex production stages—from chemical mixing and gas handling to the precision testing and splicing of fiber optic sensors. This is an ideal position for a versatile, hands-on technical professional who excels at troubleshooting electronics and maintaining the core systems of a specialized plant. 

Important:

This is a temporary/contract position with no benefits such as health insurance, retirement plans, or paid time off during the contract period, but these may become available upon conversion to a permanent role.

 

What you will do:  

  • Operate and monitor a three-story fiber optic draw tower, managing specialized production stages across each level of the facility. 
  • Perform high-precision splicing of optical fibers and components while configuring and maintaining sensitive test equipment. 
  • Conduct detailed measurements and quality testing on fiber optic sensors using electronic schematics and wiring diagrams. 
  • Execute routine preventive maintenance and troubleshooting on electronics, control systems, and mechanical assemblies. 
  • Safely manage compressed gas cylinders and accurately mix chemicals required for the fiber manufacturing process. 
  • Maintain detailed production records (travelers) and collaborate with the team to suggest continuous process improvements. 

 

What we are looking for:  

  • 5+ years of professional experience working with electronic components, wiring harnesses, and mechanical assemblies. 
  • Proven ability to read and interpret complex electronic schematics, assembly prints, and technical drawings. 
  • Prior experience in fiber optics (cable assembly or draw tower operations) is highly preferred; however, the team is willing to train the right electronics expert. 
  • Physical ability to navigate a multi-level workshop, perform manual labor, and operate a forklift for material handling. 
  • Strong organizational skills with a "safety-first" mindset and the ability to work independently with high attention to detail. 
  • A proactive team player ready for a 100% onsite role with a consistent Monday–Friday, 8 AM – 5 PM schedule.
