Role Summary 

Join our new KSA manufacturing start-up dedicated to producing high-efficiency energy recovery devices (ERDs) using advanced ceramic components. As a Precision Assembler, you will be responsible for the meticulous assembly and lapping of ceramic parts to achieve demanding performance standards. You’ll work closely with Engineering, Quality, and Operations teams to ensure first-pass yield, on-time delivery, and zero defects in a dynamic start-up environment. Strict adherence to local regulatory requirements and company HSE policies is expected.

Your Role

• Assembly & Lapping
• Assemble ceramic components for ERDs following detailed work instructions, engineering drawings, and quality standards.
• Perform precision lapping operations to achieve required fit, surface finish, and dimensional accuracy for optimal energy recovery performance.
• Use specialized lapping equipment, abrasives, and metrology tools to verify tolerances and surface quality.

Precision & Metrology

• Interpret engineering drawings and GD\&T; use micrometers, Mahr Dimentron Plug, Mahr GD280 Surface Analyzer, Mahr MMQ400 Form Machine, Mahr Digimar Height Gage, 
• Record inspection data and support SPC/capability studies (Cp/Cpk) to maintain stable processes.

Quality & Documentation

• Complete inspection records, route cards, and non-conformance reports; support root-cause/corrective actions and continuous improvement events (5S/Kaizen).
• Operate in alignment with ISO 9001 quality expectations and contribute to audit readiness; understanding of ISO 14001 (environmental) and ISO 45001 (occupational health & safety) is beneficial.

HSE & Compliance

• Apply safety standards and PPE requirements for assembly and lapping operations; ensure compliance with company work instructions and local regulations.
• Maintain a clean, organized workspace; participate in safety audits and emergency drills per site procedures.
• Collaboration & Start-up Readiness
• Work cross-functionally with Planning, Engineering, and Quality to meet build schedules; support NPI/prototype runs and rapid process stabilization typical of a start-up.

Must-Have Qualifications

• Demonstrable experience in precision assembly and lapping of ceramic or other high-performance components (shop-floor, hands-on).
• English language proficiency (spoken and written) for technical communication, training, and documentation; Arabic is a plus.
• Proficiency in reading engineering drawings and using precision metrology.
• Strong commitment to HSE practices and use of required PPE for assembly and lapping operations.
• Comfortable working in a start-up environment with evolving processes and documentation.

Your Profile

• Experience with ceramics commonly used in fluid-handling/sealing applications (e.g., Al₂O₃, ZrO₂).
• Exposure to ISO 9001/14001/45001 systems and audit participation.
• Familiarity with SPC tools, capability analysis, and problem-solving methods (RCA/8D).
• Technical diploma or apprenticeship in machining/manufacturing; secondary education acceptable with strong experience.

Working Conditions

• Shop-floor role requiring standing, fine motor work, and safe lifting per site guidelines.
• Shift work may be required to meet customer schedule (details to be confirmed).
• Compliance with KSA labor and site access requirements; company will support visa/work authorization processes according to policy.

What We Offer

• Opportunity to shape a new KSA manufacturing start-up in a high-impact energy-efficiency domain.
• Modern equipment, training, and the chance to establish best-in-class ceramic assembly and lapping capabilities.

Competitive compensation with benefits aligned to KSA practice; details per company policy.
