Solderer

Position: Solderer I (24102)
Summary:

Perform a variety of assembly operations on electronic components and subassemblies on the production line utilizing work process procedures, written instructions, diagrams, and specifications. Primary work is conducted under a lighted magnified lens, utilizing small hand tools, machinery and applicable materials, while soldering components and assembling to printed circuit boards utilizing a soldering iron.

Essential Duties and Responsibilities:

* Read and interpret assembly instructions, drawings and work instruction processes.

* Identify hardware, wire assemblies, metal, plastic, and other components.

* Written tests for ESD + Soldering requirements+ IPC-A-610 Class 3 + J-Std-001 certification.

* Handle thru hole components, fine pitched capacitors, resistors, SMT and other pick and place components and sub assemblies including BGA components and assemblies, FR4 PCBs, mechanical assemblies and Hybrids.

* Use tools such as tweezers, fine pitched tools, Calipers, Gauges, Scales, Wire strippers, multi-meters.

* Probe using a multi-meter capacitors, resistors for value/capacitance.

* Use Inserts assembly machine to install inserts on PCBs and housings.

* Depanel and clean PCBA's

* Bend leads per IPC - A-610 Class 3 / J-STD-001 / Mil-STD / drawing requirements.

* Use high temperature solder pot for lead solder tinning leads of components as well as hybrids.

* Use Soldering irons to solder thru hole components and Hybrids on FR4 PCBS conforming to IPC-A-610 Class 3 / J-STD-001 / Mil-STD.

* Use hot air gun and tweezer equipment to remove components from and rework PCBs conforming to IPC-A-610 Class 3 / J-STD-001 / Mil-STD.

* Clean PCBS, post soldering assembly, using Isopropyl Alcohol

* May be required to pour such chemicals into PCBAs or on sub-assemblies for the purpose of conformal coating/sealing/ encapsulation.

* Inspect - to the prints and procedures - the components and PCBs for defects before starting the assembly and after finishing his/her part of the assembly.

* Adhere to all ESD requirements and Board Handling.

* Comply with all in-house training as identified in job specific family and or specific training plan.
