In this role, you will perform detailed, precision sewing and assembly of tissue and non-tissue components used to build medical devices, working under a microscope in a cleanroom environment. The work requires steady hands, strong hand-eye coordination, patience, and close attention to detail, as well as careful adherence to procedures, quality standards, safety requirements, and documentation practices. Prior sewing experience is a plus but not essential, as full training on the specific sewing processes is provided.

- 0 to 2 years of related manufacturing or production experience preferred
- Experience with sewing, precision assembly, microscope-based work, cleanroom manufacturing, GMP environments, medical device manufacturing, laboratory work or similar detailed production work preferred
