Circuit Card Troubleshoot and Repair Technician

Overview

Responsible for diagnosing, repairing, and testing electronic circuit cards and assemblies. This role requires a blend of technical expertise, problem-solving skills, and attention to detail. The technician works with schematics, technical manuals, and various electronic testing equipment to identify and fix faults, ensuring the final product meets all performance and quality standards. Key duties include component-level troubleshooting, soldering and desoldering, and documenting all repair actions.

• Diagnose and Repair
  :
  Identify and isolate faults on printed circuit boards (PCBs) using tools such as multimeters, oscilloscopes, and logic analyzers. Perform component-level repair, including the replacement of defective parts like integrated circuits (ICs), resistors, capacitors, and transistors.
• Soldering and Rework
  :
  Utilize advanced soldering techniques, including surface-mount technology (SMT) and through-hole soldering, to replace components without damaging the board. Perform rework and modification of circuit cards as needed.
• Testing and Validation
  :
  Conduct functional tests on repaired circuit cards to ensure they meet specified performance parameters. Use test fixtures and automated test equipment (ATE) to verify functionality.
• Documentation and Reporting
  :
  Maintain accurate records of all repair activities, including the nature of the fault, the components replaced, and the final test results. Document any recurring issues to help with process improvement.
• Collaboration and Safety
  :
  Work closely with engineering and quality assurance teams to resolve technical issues. Adhere to all safety protocols, including the use of personal protective equipment (PPE) and proper handling of electrostatic-sensitive devices (ESD).

• Education
  :
  An Associate's degree in electronics, a technical school certificate, or equivalent military training in a relevant field.
• Experience
  :
  Proven experience in troubleshooting and repairing electronic circuits and PCBs. Familiarity with schematic diagrams and technical drawings is essential.
• Skills
  :
  • Strong knowledge of analog and digital electronics.
  • Proficiency with electronic test equipment (oscilloscopes, multimeters, function generators).
  • Exceptional soldering and desoldering skills for both SMT and through-hole components.
  • Excellent problem-solving abilities and attention to detail.
  • Ability to read and interpret technical documentation.
