Repair & Rework Operator H​/F

To strengthen our Production Team,
DIVSYS International-ICAPE (part of ICAPE Group) is looking for a skilled and detail-oriented Repair & Rework Operator to join our facility in Indianapolis, Indiana
.

Your mission will be to perform high-quality repair, rework and modification of printed circuit board assemblies (PCBAs), ensuring compliance with IPC standards, customer requirements and internal quality procedures.

You will work closely with our Production, Engineering and Quality teams in a technical manufacturing environment serving demanding industries including aerospace, defense, medical, industrial and automotive.

As a Repair & Rework Operator, you will be responsible for repairing, modifying and inspecting SMT and through-hole electronic assemblies.

Using your soldering and rework expertise, you will ensure that all repaired assemblies meet the required workmanship, quality and traceability standards while contributing to continuous improvement across our production processes.

Perform repair, rework and modification of SMT and through-hole (THT) assemblies, including component removal and replacement, site preparation, conductor and land repair, and jumper wire modifications

Work with multiple solder alloys and flux systems, selecting the correct combination for the assembly and the customer specification

tin-lead (SnPb) and lead-free (SAC and equivalent) alloys

no-clean and water-soluble flux systems

observe segregation and cross-contamination controls between leaded and lead-free product

Carry out all repair and rework in accordance with IPC-7711/7721 (Rework, Modification and Repair of Electronic Assemblies) and verify the result against IPC-A-610 acceptance criteria at the class level specified by the customer

Inspect customer returns: verify the reported failure, locate the defect, determine the cause where it can be established, and carry out the repair

Document all repair activity – defect found, method applied, materials used and final result – on the traveler or repair record so that the history of every assembly remains traceable

Remove and re-apply conformal coating on repaired areas where the assembly requires it

Handle all assemblies in accordance with ESD control and moisture-sensitive device (MSD) requirements

Set up, operate and maintain rework equipment – hot air and hot gas rework stations, BGA rework systems, preheaters, soldering and desoldering stations, and inspection microscopes – and keep tips, nozzles and consumables in serviceable condition

Work from assembly drawings, schematics, bills of material and customer-specific work instructions

Feed defect data and observations back to Engineering and Quality so that recurring defects are addressed at source rather than repaired repeatedly

Maintain a clean, organized and 5S-compliant work area

High school diploma or equivalent; technical or vocational training in electronics is preferred

Previous experience in hand soldering, desoldering and PCB/PCBA rework within an electronics manufacturing environment

Good working knowledge of IPC-7711/7721 repair and rework procedures

Good understanding of IPC-A-610 acceptance criteria

IPC Specialist (CIS) certification preferred or ability to obtain certification within the first months of employment

Certified IPC Trainer (CIT) certification is a strong advantage

Practical experience working with both tin-lead and lead-free solder alloys and different flux systems

Ability to read assembly drawings, schematics, bills of material and technical work instructions

Comfortable performing detailed visual work under magnification and handling small electronic components

Knowledge of ESD and moisture-sensitive device handling requirements
