The Electronic Circuitry/Parts Assembler I/II/III position involves performing a variety of assembly operations on electronic or electromechanical components in a certified manufacturing environment. The role requires attention to detail and precision while working with small components and tools.
At roughly $21/hr, this posting comes in about 49% below the $41/hr median for manufacturing welder jobs across California, where the middle half runs $30–$66/hr across 33 postings with published pay. Put another way, it pays more than about 3% of the comparable postings we have wage data for. That gap is worth raising directly — in a market this size there is normally room to negotiate toward the median, particularly if you already hold the certifications the posting asks for.
