Summary
Manufacturing job that assembles components of hard disk drives (HDDs), which are computer storage devices, in a clean room environment and performs operational inspections.
Description
Hard disk drive assemblers assemble components such as disk platters, actuators, drive motors, and head sliders in a clean room, using torque tools and static electricity prevention equipment to produce finished products. After assembly, they conduct rotation tests and signal reading inspections to confirm that the required quality standards are met.
