Electronic Assembler

Required Skills & Experience:

• Minimum 2-year technical degree (Electronics/Mechatronics) or industry equivalent experience.
• Hands-on experience in high-tech electronics manufacturing or equivalent.
• Demonstrated proficiency in IPC J-STD-001 (soldering) and IPC-A-610 (acceptability of electronic assemblies), including fine-pitch soldering and small gauge wire (28-32 AWG) handling.
• Strong mechanical aptitude for box builds, using hand tools, crimpers, and torque drivers for precision assembly.
• Ability to read and follow complex technical specifications, assembly drawings, and wiring diagrams.
• Experience working in an ESD-controlled environment and familiarity with cleanroom protocols.
• Detail-oriented mindset with excellent fine motor skills for handling small components and delicate wiring.
• Proficiency with digital documentation tools (Google Sheets, MS Office) for data collection and reporting.

Job Description:

• PCBA Prep & Modification: Perform precision through-hole and SMT soldering, including the installation of jumpers, hardware, and component modifications on PCBs to IPC Class 3 standards.
• Box Build Assembly: Execute mechanical and electrical assembly of custom control chassis, including mounting power supplies, integrating PCBs, and managing thermal interfaces.
• Rack Integration & Cabling: Install electronic assemblies into 19” racks and perform system-level wiring; route, dress, and terminate complex cable harnesses with strict attention to strain relief and bend radius requirements.
• Schematic & Drawing Interpretation: Read and interpret detailed electrical schematics, wire lists, and mechanical assembly drawings to ensure accurate build configuration.
• Continuous Improvement: Capture redlines and document assembly best practices to improve build instructions; participate in 5S initiatives to maintain an organized, ESD-safe production environment.
• Quality & NCR Process: Inspect own work and initiate Non-Conformance Reports (NCRs) for any material or process deviations, working with engineering to identify root causes.
