- We are seeking a highly experienced Solder Assembler to join our precision electronics manufacturing team.
- The successful candidate will be an expert in both surface‐mount technology (SMT) and through‐hole soldering, with a proven track record of removing, repairing, and replacing a wide variety of components—including bottom‐terminated parts such as QFNs, BGAs, and LGAs.
- The role requires hands‐on use of advanced rework equipment and the ability to verify workmanship using X‐ray inspection techniques.
- Perform high‐mix, low‐volume assembly of SMT and through‐hole components on complex printed circuit boards (PCBs).
- Execute removal, replacement, and repair of bottom‐terminated components (QFNs, BGAs, LGAs) using hot‐air pencils, hot plates, and other rework tools.
- Conduct precise reflow, pre‐heat, and cooling cycles to meet component‐specific thermal profiles.
- Operate and maintain X‐ray inspection equipment to evaluate solder joints on hidden pads and verify rework quality.
- Interpret engineering drawings, work orders, and Bill of Materials (BOM) to ensure correct component placement and orientation.
- Perform in‐process quality checks (visual, AOI, X‐ray) and document results per quality system requirements.
- Troubleshoot solder‐related defects (e.g., tombstoning, voids, solder bridges) and implement corrective actions.
- Maintain ESD‐controlled environments; follow all safety and compliance procedures.
- Contribute to continuous‐improvement initiatives, suggesting tooling upgrades or process optimizations.
- Operator must be willing to work under a microscope for long periods of time while inspecting and working on PWBs
