Transformer Coil Winding Technician
About the Role
Step onto our production floor in Clearwater, FL and help build the heart of Current and Power Transformers. As a Transformer Coil Winding Technician, you’ll turn magnet wire and specifications into precise, reliable coils that power finished transformer assemblies. This is an on-site, hands-on position in a climate-controlled environment (not remote) with a quiet-to-moderate noise level.
A Day in the Life
Your day starts by reviewing wiring diagrams and company production sheets, then setting up your winding machine to match the winding specification. You’ll calibrate the turns counter, wind with care, and verify coil integrity through testing. Working methodically, you’ll solder terminals to magnet wire, seat core/laminations into the coil, and inspect for exposed conductors. Once resin processing is complete, you’ll clean the units, attach the required hardware, and apply pretest labels when needed—all while documenting processing details on the production sheet and following safety procedures.
What You’ll Do
- Interpret wiring diagrams and internal production documentation for assembly.
- Record all processing data on the Production Sheet accurately.
- Configure the winding machine per the winding spec and job instructions.
- Calibrate the turns counter; test completed coils for conformance.
- Solder magnet wire to terminals to create robust connections.
- Insert cores/laminations into wound coils.
- Inspect transformers for any exposed wires and correct issues.
- Clean units after the resin process to prep for next operations.
- Install required hardware on completed assemblies.
- Apply pretest labels to units when specified.
- Adhere to all safety rules, instructions, guidelines, and procedures.
What You Bring
- High School Diploma or GED; or 1–3 years of related experience/training; or an equivalent combination of education and experience.
- Mechanical/electrical aptitude with readiness to learn hand tools and measuring instruments.
- Exceptional attention to detail and quality.
- Ability to follow written and verbal instructions, checklists, and production travelers.
- Basic computer proficiency for data entry and documentation.
- Reliable, punctual, collaborative, and eager to learn.
- Comfort lifting up to 35 lbs., standing for long periods, and working in an active electronics production setting.
