Responsibilities

• Operating manual wire bonds and other cleanroom equipment; setting up, calibrating, and operating manual wire bonders to perform ball or wedge bonds with meticulous control.
• Precision wire bonding and assembly: carefully manipulate and position the work holder under the bond head, forming the first and second bond under a microscope.
• Adjust bonding parameters (e.g., bonding force, power, temperature, time, ball size, and height) as needed.
• Quality control and inspection: inspect components and wire bonds under a microscope to ensure compliance with quality standards and specifications; identify and troubleshoot defects such as damaged components, missing traces, wire breaks, and non‑sticking bonds.
• Perform routine maintenance on manual wire bonding machines, troubleshoot minor equipment malfunctions, and report more complex issues to appropriate personnel.

• Provide flexibility to be trained in multiple processes and utilize excellent electro‑mechanical assembly skills to build, assemble, and test products.
• Maintain familiarity with FOD prevention and management.

• High school diploma or equivalent, often coupled with vocational training or an associate degree in electronics or a related technical field.
• Previous experience in a manufacturing or cleanroom environment is highly desirable, particularly operating manual wire ball and/or wedge bonding equipment and substrate/microchip mounting.
• Strong manual dexterity, hand‑eye coordination, attention to detail, and ability to work with precision tools and microscopes.
• Familiarity with manual bonding techniques (ball bonding, wedge bonding, ribbon bonding) and an understanding of different wire materials (gold, copper, aluminum) and their properties.
• Experience with bond pull testers and other inspection tools is a plus.
• Soft skills:
  
  attention to detail, problem‑solving, patience, focus, and the ability to follow detailed instructions. Good written and verbal communication skills are also important for effective collaboration and documentation.
