Responsibilities

• Perform PCB test and assembly tasks, including handling, inspection, and verification of completed boards.
• Carry out routine preparation activities for assembly such as PCB burn-in testing, subassembly build, mechanical assembly, and assembly test operations.
• Execute manual soldering and solder rework on PCBs in accordance with IPC or military standard specifications.
• Maintain established quality and quantity standards while accurately recording assembly progress and results in traveler tracking logs.
• Collaborate closely with the engineering team to build prototypes and provide detailed feedback on any deviations or issues identified during evaluation.
• Work with engineering personnel to clarify design documentation, parts lists, and drawings to ensure completeness, accuracy, and manufacturability.
• Read and interpret blueprints, schematics, and engineering specifications to perform precise electronic and mechanical assembly tasks.
• Use measurement tools such as micrometers and other inspection equipment to verify component placement and mechanical fit.
• Follow manufacturing procedures and quality control specifications consistently to meet product and regulatory requirements.
• Support continuous improvement by communicating observations and suggestions that enhance assembly processes, quality, or efficiency.
• Adhere to production schedules and work order requirements generated from ERP/MRP systems.
• Maintain a clean, organized work area and handle electronic components and PCBs in a manner that protects them from damage.

Essential Skills

• Minimum 5 years of experience in the printed circuit board industry.
• Strong hands-on soldering skills, including manual soldering and solder rework on PCBs to IPC or military standards.
• Proficiency in mechanical assembly and electronic assembly, including thru-hole and surface-mount components.
• Demonstrated ability to identify electronic components and perform rework on printed circuit boards.
• Ability to read and interpret quality control specifications, IPC-related requirements, blueprint drawings, and engineering specifications.
• Competence in reading and understanding electrical schematics and wiring diagrams.
• Experience using measurement tools such as micrometers and other inspection instruments.
• Ability to follow detailed assembly drawings and manufacturing procedures accurately in an electronics manufacturing environment.
• Comfort working with ERP/MRP system reports and work orders, with willingness to learn additional system functions as needed.
• Strong verbal and written communication skills and clear ability to read, write, and communicate in English.
• Reliable attendance and the ability to work at a fast pace while maintaining high-quality results.
• Physical ability to lift 1020 pounds occasionally with reasonable accommodation.
• Availability to work between 7:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m., Monday through Friday, with occasional Saturday work and flexibility to adjust start times.
• High school diploma or equivalent.
• Proven teamwork, cooperation with leadership, and a positive, professional attitude.

Additional Skills & Qualifications

• Familiarity with standard electronic assembly concepts, practices, and manufacturing environments.
• Experience performing PCB burn-in tests and documenting results.
• Ability to maintain accurate traveler tracking logs and production records.
• Comfort providing feedback to engineering on prototype builds and design improvements.
• Ability to clarify and validate parts lists, design documentation, and drawings with engineering staff.
• Strong interpersonal skills and the ability to contribute effectively in a collaborative team setting.
• Attention to detail and consistency in following established procedures and work instructions.
• Willingness to learn new tools, systems, and processes to support evolving production requirements.
