About Us
FTECU is a small, established powersports electronics company that manufactures and sells tuning hardware, motorcycle electronics, wiring harnesses, and related products for road-racing, sport bikes, and powersports applications.
We recently relocated from Southern California to Carson City, Nevada, and are continuing to build our local production team.
We are looking for a reliable, detail-oriented person to join our production department and help manufacture small-batch electronics products, wiring harnesses, and related assemblies.
This is a hands-on production role. It is not an office job, warehouse-only job, or general labor position. The work requires patience, attention to detail, good hand skills, and the ability to follow instructions carefully.
The Role
As a Manufacturing Technician / Production Assembly Technician, you will help produce the products we sell every day.
The role may include soldering, crimping, cutting and stripping wires, assembling wiring harnesses, preparing parts, inspecting finished work, packaging products, and operating small production equipment.
You do not need to already know every process we use. We are willing to train the right person. However, you must be dependable, careful, willing to learn, and able to perform detailed hands-on work consistently.
This position will work under the direction of our production lead and ownership. The immediate goal is to add reliable production capacity, reduce bottlenecks, and help keep customer orders moving.
Responsibilities
- Build wiring harnesses, cable assemblies, and small electronics-related products
- Perform hands-on production tasks such as soldering, crimping, wire cutting, wire stripping, labeling, assembly, and packaging
- Use production tools and equipment such as soldering irons, crimping tools, pneumatic crimping machines, automatic cut/strip machines, hand tools, fixtures, and inspection tools
- Follow written instructions, drawings, diagrams, checklists, and verbal direction
- Inspect your own work for accuracy, cleanliness, and quality
- Identify and report defects, mistakes, missing materials, or unclear instructions
- Help prepare parts and materials for production batches
- Keep work areas clean, organized, and ready for the next job
- Support quality control checks and product testing as needed
- Work carefully with small parts, wires, connectors, labels, and electronic components
- Help with other production tasks as needed in a small-company environment
What This Job Is Really Like
This is detailed hands-on production work.
Some jobs are repetitive. Some require careful reading and setup. Some involve small parts, tight spaces, similar-looking components, or steps that must be done in the correct order.
Quality matters. Small mistakes can create real problems for customers, so this role requires someone who can slow down when needed, check their work, and speak up when something does not look right.
This is also a small-company environment. You may be asked to help with different types of production tasks depending on what needs to ship. The right person will be flexible, steady, and willing to learn.
You will not be expected to run the entire production department. You will be expected to show up reliably, learn the work, follow instructions, ask questions when needed, and take pride in doing the job correctly.
Required Qualifications
- Previous hands-on work experience in manufacturing, assembly, electronics, wiring, mechanical work, automotive, powersports, fabrication, production, or a similar field
- Strong attention to detail
- Good manual dexterity and hand-eye coordination
- Ability to follow instructions carefully
- Ability to work with small parts and repetitive detailed tasks
- Willingness to learn soldering, crimping, wiring, and production processes
- Ability to inspect your own work and catch mistakes
- Reliable attendance and punctuality
- Comfortable working in a small team
- Ability to lift and carry up to 25 lbs.
- High school diploma, GED, or equivalent practical experience
Preferred Qualifications
Experience with any of the following is helpful, but not required for the right person:
- Soldering
- Wiring harness assembly
- Cable assembly
- Crimping tools or pneumatic crimping machines
- Automatic wire cut/strip machines
- Electronics assembly
- PCB assembly
- Small parts assembly
- Quality control inspection
- Reading drawings, diagrams, or work instructions
- Motorcycle, automotive, powersports, racing, fabrication, or electronics hobbies
Who Will Succeed Here
You may be a good fit if you:
- Like working with your hands
- Take pride in careful, clean work
- Are patient with detailed tasks
- Can follow instructions without skipping steps
- Notice small differences and possible mistakes
- Are willing to ask questions instead of guessing
- Can stay focused during repetitive work
- Want a stable, long-term full-time job
- Prefer a small company where your work matters
- Are interested in learning technical production skills over time
Who This Is Not For
This role is probably not a good fit if you:
- Do not like detailed hands-on work
- Prefer fast general labor over careful assembly work
- Get frustrated by small parts, wires, connectors, or repetitive tasks
- Skip steps when work feels familiar
- Have trouble following written instructions
- Do not like having your work inspected
- Are looking for short-term work
- Need a large corporate environment with a narrowly defined job
Hiring Process
Our hiring process may include a short practical reasoning assessment.
This is not a memorization test. It is designed to help us understand how candidates think through basic production situations, follow instructions, notice details, and make reasonable judgments.
The assessment may include simple questions related to:
- Attention to detail
- Following instructions
- Basic mechanical reasoning
- Basic electrical or wiring judgment
- Quality control decisions
- Troubleshooting simple production problems
- Identifying obviously incorrect or unsafe choices
We do not expect every candidate to already know our products or processes. We are looking for someone who can learn, pay attention, and make careful decisions.
Compensation
Expected pay range: $22–$28 per hour, depending on experience and ability.
A candidate with strong hands-on production, wiring, soldering, or electronics experience may qualify toward the higher end. A candidate with less direct experience but strong attention to detail, reliability, and willingness to learn may start lower in the range.
