Electronics Assembler

Our Company 

Motium is a unique designer and advanced manufacturer of rugged technology and accessories for the harshest environments out there, providing to our global customer base a range of standard and custom products – think tough and technical computers, LCD monitors, IIoT, and more. 

With 22 years’ experience in the game, our tech is developed from the ground up and is proudly made TUFFer down under in Western Australia! 

Motium is on a serious growth trajectory, and we are looking to find highly capable, reliable and zesty team members to join us on our journey. If you’re enthusiastic, keen to learn, love snacks, and looking to achieve more than you ever thought possible, Team Motium offers the potential for you to help create something you can be an important part of. 

About the Role  

As an Electronics Assembler, you will be an important part of our Production Team, creating quality products that end up in the hands of our global customer base. Responsible for assembling and testing a variety of sub-assemblies and products, you will also be required to partake in software installation, product packing and other necessary production tasks. 

Our Production Team is a diverse team of 19 (20 when you get here!) hardworking individuals who take a work-hard, snack-hard approach to their tasks. Always giving 100%, they are the driving force behind Motium’s production of excellence. 

Reporting to Agnes, our experienced Production Planner, you will be required a minimum of three days (with at least two of these consecutively) on a casual basis, working hours that we are happy to plan with you (e.g., school hours are fine). Due to the nature of the role, you will be 100% based at our facility in Bentley. 

Your day-to-day will revolve around the following: 

• Manufacturing sub-assemblies for stock through soldering, fitting film-to-touch panels, fitting touch panels to LCDs, pin insertions, potting, operating insert machine and fitting inserts through soldering equipment 
• Assembling products including LCD monitors and PPCs through fitting screws with electronic screw drivers, fitting labels, fitting PCB boards (including identifying the correct boards to fit), fitting gaskets and connectors, and putting together all mechanical parts 
• Assembling cables including stripping, crimping, potting, heat shrinking, and labelling 
• Conducting in-process and final product quality control checks 
• Making recommendations on process improvements 
• Conducting testing of products through test jigs or cable testers 

About You 

Here are some of the things we think will make you likely to succeed in this role: 

• Experience working for a medium to high volume manufacturer in an Assembler, Quality Assurance, or Engineering Technician capacity 
• Outstanding attention to detail and a commitment to producing the very best quality 
• Ability to follow formal producers and work instructions 
• Being a self-motivated individual who can achieve and succeed under minimal supervision 

We’d love to see that you have technical skills or experience in a similar role. However, this is absolutely not a deal breaker! Our team believes that if you have the right attitude and a learning mindset, we can give you the right tools and in-house training to succeed. And, we’re sorry, but you do need to have permanent rights to work in Australia.  

We understand that not everyone is confident when applying for roles. If you are feeling unsure about any of the details, please don’t hesitate to email us at hr@motium.com, and we will be in touch with you as soon as we can. 

Here are 4 reasons why we think you will love working with us: 

• Culture of friendliness and inclusivity: We truly care about our people and our work, embracing the diversity of our workforce and ensuring everyone has a sense of belonging. 
• Flexibility of your working hours: Tell us what working hours would best suit you, and we will work our hardest to see if we could accommodate what you need. 
• Receive recognition for your wins: Our favourite pastime is to celebrate the success of our employees and recognise their contribution to our company. We want you to take pride in your accomplishments, and if you’re doing a fabulous job, we want to make sure you know! 
• Chances for growth and progression: As Motium continues to grow in every facet, you will grow with us. There will be plenty of ways for you to achieve your career goals and targets, whether that be in this role or another department. Hear that? That’s the sound of opportunity calling your name. 

Here are 3 reasons we are afraid you might not want to join us: 

• We operate in a high-feedback environment. You will be required to challenge, be challenged and face challenges. We recognise that this approach is not for everyone. 
• Motium is growing. Fast. As such, not all of our policies and procedures are shiny and well-polished. We are a work-in-progress and catching up as quick as we can. 
• We manufacture thousands of products every year. Our Production Team do outstanding work making sure that every product is as high quality as the last. This requires a high level of attention to detail and an enjoyment of repetitive tasks – we know that this routine work isn’t loved by all.
