Light Industrial - Assembler-2nd Shift

We are seeking a detail oriented Solder Assembler with a strong understanding of IPC (Institute of Printed Circuits) standards to join our manufacturing team. The successful candidate will be responsible for assembling printed circuit boards (PCBs) by soldering a wide variety of components, performing defect identification, and ensuring all work meets stringent quality and reliability requirements. • Perform manual and/or selective soldering of through hole, surface mount (SMT), BGA, QFN, CSP, and other component types. • Conduct visual inspections and use inspection tools (e.g., microscopes, AOI) to identify solder defects such as bridges, cold joints, tombstoning, insufficient wetting, and voids. • Apply IPC A 610 (Acceptability of Electronic Assemblies), IPC J STD 001 (Soldering Materials), and IPC 2221/2222 (Design standards) throughout the assembly process. • Verify that solder paste, flux, and materials meet required specifications. • Recommend and implement enhancements to soldering processes, tooling, and work instructions. • Follow all safety procedures, including proper handling of hazardous materials and use of personal protective equipment (PPE). • High school diploma or GED; technical/vocational training in electronics assembly preferred. • Minimum 2 years of hands on solder assembly in a production environment. • Proficient with IPC standards (A 610, J STD 001, etc.) • Ability to solder and inspect a range of component sizes (0201 - 1206, BGAs, QFNs, etc.) • Familiarity with soldering tools (soldering iron, hot air gun, reflow oven, wave solder machine). • Strong visual inspection skills; ability to use microscopes and AOI equipment to detect defects. • Detail oriented, strong problem solving abilities, effective communication, and teamwork orientation. • Experience with mixed technology boards (both SMT and through hole). • Knowledge of lead free and RoHS compliant processes. • Familiarity with statistical process control (SPC) and yield analysis. • Ability to lift up to 25 lb (e.g., boxes of PCBs, tooling).
