In this critical role, you will be responsible for programming, setting up, and operating our Koh Young 3D Automated Optical Inspection (AOI) system, as well as performing manual visual and microscope inspections on high-mix, high-reliability surface-mount (SMT) and through-hole printed circuit board assemblies (PCBAs). You will ensure all electronic assemblies meet strict

IPC-A-610

Class 3 and

J-STD-001

standards in an

AS9100 / ISO 9001

aerospace and defense environment. The ideal candidate blends deep quality-standards knowledge with hands-on technical ability to program 3D AOI inspection algorithms, optimize false-call rates, and support root-cause corrective actions. Key Responsibilities Koh Young 3

D AOI Programming & Operation:

Create, debug, fine-tune, and maintain inspection programs on Koh Young 3D AOI machines using CAD data, Gerber files, and Bill of Materials (BOM).

AOI Optimization:

Set inspection thresholds, component library models, and measurement parameters for solder joint volume, height, bridging, polarity, coplanarity, and component offset to minimize false calls and false escapes.

IPC-A-610

Inspection:

Perform high-magnification visual and dimensional inspections of complex SMT (0201s, QFNs, BGAs, RF components) and through-hole assemblies against

IPC-A-610

Class 2/3 criteria.

First Article & In-Process Inspection:

Perform First Article Inspections (FAI) per AS9102 standards, in-process quality audits, and final quality inspections across SMT lines and manual assembly stages.

Defect Disposition & Root Cause Analysis:

Identify, photograph, and document non-conformances (NCRs); collaborate with SMT process engineers and operators to pinpoint defect root causes (e.g., solder paste print issues, component placement errors, reflow profiles).

First-Piece Verification:

Verify board setup and feeder mapping against customer engineering schematics, assembly drawings, and BOMs prior to full production runs.

Calibration & Documentation:

Ensure inspection and measurement equipment (calipers, height gauges, microscopes, automated testers) are within calibration and accurately log all inspection data in the ERP/MES quality module.

ESD & Quality Compliance:

Strictly uphold ESD prevention protocols, FOD (Foreign Object Debris) prevention, and

AS9100 / ISO 9001

compliance throughout the inspection area.

Qualifications & Technical Requirements Standards & Certifications:

Current or prior certification as an

IPC-A-610

Certified IPC Specialist (CIS) or Certified IPC Trainer (CIT) required. Certification in

IPC J-STD-001

is strongly preferred.

AOI Programming Experience:

Proven hands-on experience programming and operating Koh Young 3D AOI systems (e.g., Zenith series / KSMART software). Experience with other 3D/2D AOI platforms (Mirtec, CyberOptics, Koh Young SPI) will also be considered.

SMT Process Knowledge:

Strong technical understanding of SMT manufacturing processes, component types (chips, ICs, QFN, BGA, connectors, RF shields), solder paste application, and reflow soldering defects.

Blueprint & Data Interpretation:

Ability to read and interpret complex engineering drawings, schematics, Bill of Materials (BOM), CAD/Gerber data, and work instructions.

Measurement Tools:

Proficiency using stereo microscopes, digital calipers, micrometers, pin gauges, and optical measurement systems.

Quality Documentation:

Experience generating AS9102 First Article Inspection reports and writing clear Non-Conformance Reports (NCRs).

Visual Acuity & Dexterity:

Excellent visual acuity (natural or corrected), including color vision and depth perception, for sustained microscope inspection work. Preferred Qualifications 3+ years of inspection and AOI programming experience in an aerospace, defense, RF/microwave, or medical device manufacturing facility. Familiarity with

AS9100D / ISO 9001

2015 quality management system requirements. Experience with Solder Paste Inspection (3D SPI) programming and closed-loop process control. US Citizenship or Permanent Resident (Green Card) status due to ITAR compliance requirements.","type","jobPosting","source","LC","accountId","56447263","organizationName","Nu Waves
