RF/Microwave Microelectronics Assembler

Express Employment Professionals - San Diego

Job Description

Job Description

RF/Microwave Microelectronics Assembler

Location: El Cajon, CA | Openings: Multiple immediate hires

Step into a precision lab where 10X microscopes, fine-tip irons, and hot plates are your daily tools. From the moment you begin your shift, you’ll be working hands-on with miniature RF and microwave assemblies—building, inspecting, and perfecting products that demand unwavering focus and steady hands. If you cannot solder small components under a microscope, this role is not the right fit.

This is not general assembly or warehouse work. It’s true microelectronics production in a fast-paced manufacturing setting where quality comes first.

What a day looks like
  • Assemble miniature electronic and RF components with tight tolerances
  • Inspect and build under a 10X microscope for precision placement and verification
  • Perform fine hand soldering (through‑hole and SMT), rework, and hot plate reflow
  • Carry out coil winding along with shield and strap cutting
  • Execute epoxy staking and potting processes
  • Assist with electronics tuning, leak testing, and product validation activities
  • Follow detailed work instructions, schematics, and assembly procedures
  • Maintain rigorous quality standards and a spotless bench
What you bring
  • 2+ years of electronic assembly experience in a production environment
  • Background working with small parts/micro‑assembly
  • Proficiency soldering both through‑hole and SMT components
  • Comfort working for extended periods under a microscope (required)
  • Excellent hand dexterity and keen attention to detail
  • Ability to read and interpret assembly instructions, schematics, or blueprints
  • Reliable attendance and a collaborative mindset
Preferred extras
  • IPC‑A‑610 or J‑STD certification
  • Experience in RF, aerospace, defense, or medical device assembly
  • Familiarity with coil winding or epoxy potting

Requirements:

• Must be a U.S. Citizen or Permanent Resident

Core proficiencies
  • Soldering
  • PCB Assembly (Printed Circuit Board Assembly)
  • PCB Components (Printed Circuit Board Components)
  • Microscope Proficiency
  • Electrical / Electronic Systems
