Job Description:

We are seeking a highly experienced Solder Assembler to join our precision electronics manufacturing team. The successful candidate will be an expert in both surface mount technology (SMT) and through hole soldering, with a proven track record of removing, repairing, and replacing a wide variety of components-including bottom terminated parts such as QFNs, BGAs, and LGAs. The role requires hands on use of advanced rework equipment and the ability to verify workmanship using X ray inspection techniques.

Roles & Responsibilities:

• Perform high mix, low volume assembly of SMT and through hole components on complex printed circuit boards (PCBs).
• Execute removal, replacement, and repair of bottom terminated components (QFNs, BGAs, LGAs) using hot air pencils, hot plates, and other rework tools.
• Conduct precise reflow, pre heat, and cooling cycles to meet component specific thermal profiles.
• Operate and maintain X ray inspection equipment to evaluate solder joints on hidden pads and verify rework quality.
• Interpret engineering drawings, work orders, and Bill of Materials (BOM) to ensure correct component placement and orientation.
• Perform in process quality checks (visual, AOI, X ray) and document results per quality system requirements.
• Troubleshoot solder related defects (e.g., tomb stoning, voids, solder bridges) and implement corrective actions.
• Maintain ESD controlled environments; follow all safety and compliance procedures.
• Contribute to continuous improvement initiatives, suggesting tooling upgrades or process optimizations.
• Operator must be willing to work under a microscope for long periods of time while inspecting and working on PWBs
