Temperature Specialists, Inc.

ABOUT THE ROLE 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 fabrication Use diamond wheel cutting equipment to cut ceramic tubes to specified lengths with precision Perform a high-temperature glassing process using an industrial furnace to coat and seal ceramic sensor elements Complete small-part assembly operations, including attaching palladium wire connections to finished wire-wound ceramic elements Use hand tools including tweezers, micro cutters, and heat guns to handle and prepare miniature components throughout the fabrication process Read and interpret blueprints and work orders; use dimensional measuring equipment to inspect finished elements for quality and dimensional accuracy Document production output and log completed work orders to support traceability and scheduling across the manufacturing process Work collaboratively within a small winding room team to meet daily production targets and communicate with downstream assembly departments on schedules and custom part requirements Support training of new team members as needed; perform routine maintenance and cleaning of winding room equipment What We're Looking For Strong fine motor skills and manual dexterity - you'll be working with very small components and precision equipment daily Ability to perform close detail work under a microscope for extended periods High attention to detail and a commitment to consistent, quality output in a production environment Ability to read and follow blueprints, work prints, and written/verbal instructions accurately Collaborative attitude and comfort working within a small, close-knit team Prior 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 program Why Join Temperature Specialists Work with a specialized, skilled team manufacturing precision products used across diverse industries Comprehensive in-house training - no prior wire winding or sensor fabrication experience required Stable, full-time position with a manufacturer of highly specialized, custom-engineered products Opportunity to develop rare, in-demand skills in precision manufacturing and sensor element fabrication Compensation details: 15-18 Hourly Wage PI11d350dbb51b-4611
