Desired Qualifications Reflow Experience: Hands-on experience setting up, operating, or profiling a prototyping reflow oven process. Certifications: Active or previous IPC certifications (such as IPC-A-610 or J-STD-001). Micro-Soldering: Comfort working with extremely small component packages (e.g., 0402 or 0201 sizes).
