Sensor Element Fabricator
Temperature Specialists, Inc., Saint Francis, MN, United States
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 xawqmyg 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
Do not wait to apply after reading this description a high application volume is expected for this opportunity.
Compensation details: 15-18 Hourly Wage
