WOLF Advanced Technology is on the hunt for a full‑time SMT Operator
to join our growing in‑house manufacturing team in Aurora, Ontario
.
Reporting to the Senior Manager, SMT, you’ll play a mission‑critical role in bringing our SMT production line to life, owning hands‑on operation and ensuring high‑performance PCB assembly from day one.
This is a ground‑floor opportunity to help build WOLF’s SMT capability from scratch. You’ll work in a small, highly technical team, operating across the full production line from printing through inspection. The environment is fast‑paced, detail‑driven, and fully on‑site, with a strong focus on precision, speed, and problem‑solving in a high‑mix, low‑to‑medium volume setting.
- Set up and run the full SMT line: Operate across solder paste printing, pick‑and‑place, reflow, and inspection equipment to drive end‑to‑end production
- Execute high‑speed feeder setups: Install and configure feeders efficiently to keep changeovers tight and production moving
- Optimize production flow: Manage machine readiness and material flow to minimize downtime and maximize throughput
- Troubleshoot in real time: Identify and resolve mechanical, electrical, and process issues directly on the line
- Inspect and validate output: Use AOI and visual inspection techniques to ensure builds meet IPC‑A‑610 Class 3 standards
- Handle ultra‑fine components: Work with extremely small parts requiring precise hand‑eye coordination and attention to detail
- Support process improvements: Collaborate with engineering and quality to reduce defects and improve yield
- Own day‑to‑day production: Operate with autonomy on the floor while contributing to a collaborative, high‑accountability team
At WOLF, your work directly powers mission‑critical aerospace and defense systems. This is your chance to build something from the ground up and make an immediate, tangible impact.
Your EdgeYou bring 5+ years of hands‑on experience in SMT manufacturing
, ideally within aerospace, defence, or other high‑reliability electronics environments. You have worked directly on production floors operating and supporting full SMT lines, with a strong understanding of workflows from solder paste printing through to inspection.
You have practical experience working to IPC‑A‑610 Class 3 standards and understand the expectations of high‑reliability PCB…
