We are looking for detailed inspectors with 2–3 years of experience to serve as the final checkpoint for visual inspections. Active or recent IPC-A-610 certification is required for this role, and candidates must be able to read complex assembly drawings and identify microscopic part markings.

• Remote medical care
• Pharmacy benefits
• Urgent care
• Lab coverage

• Visual Inspection: Perform detailed final and in-process visual inspections of populated circuit boards under magnification to verify solder joint quality, component placement, and orientation.
• First Article Inspection (FAI): Conduct comprehensive First Article Inspections for new production runs, verifying that the initial build matches the Bill of Materials (BOM), assembly drawings, and customer requirements flawlessly.
• Defect Identification: Identify manufacturing defects such as solder bridges, cold joints, missing components, or incorrect polarity, and clearly document these non-conformances.
• Routing & Rework Verification: Route defective assemblies to the rework/solder technicians with clear instructions, and re-inspect the boards post-rework to verify the corrections meet quality standards.
• Standard Compliance: Ensure all products strictly adhere to IPC-A-610 acceptability standards and internal quality management systems (AS9100D for aerospace, ISO 13485 for medical devices).
• Documentation: Accurately complete quality logs, inspection reports, and traveler documents. Enter pass/fail data and defect codes into the ERP/MRP system to maintain complete lot traceability.
• Continuous Improvement: Collaborate with SMT, AOI, and Production teams by providing feedback on recurring defect trends to help optimize manufacturing processes and reduce scrap.

• Experience: Minimum of 3–5 years of experience in quality control or inspection within an electronics manufacturing (PCBA) environment.
• Certifications: Active or recent certification in IPC-A-610 (Acceptability of Electronic Assemblies) is strictly required. IPC J-STD-001 certification is highly preferred.
• Blueprint Reading: Strong ability to read and interpret complex assembly drawings, BOMs, schematics, and customer-specific routing instructions.
• Component Recognition: Expert-level ability to identify a wide range of surface-mount (SMT) and through-hole components, including reading microscopic part markings and values.
• Attention to Detail: Exceptional focus and an uncompromising eye for quality when reviewing high-density electronic assemblies.
• Communication: Strong written and verbal communication skills to effectively document issues and discuss quality standards with production staff.

• Excellent close‑up vision, depth perception, and the ability to differentiate colors accurately.
• Ability to comfortably use and look through a stereo microscope or magnifying tools for extended periods throughout the shift.
• Ability to sit or stand for long periods at an inspection station.
