Oven Operation:
Load, program, and monitor industrial convection or vacuum-assisted baking ovens according to strict specifications.
Parameter Control:
Set correct temperature ranges (typically 100°C to 125°C for raw boards or lower for moisture-sensitive components) and precise timing based on material thickness and IPC standards (like IPC-1601 or
J-STD-033
).
Material Handling:
Arrange PCBs in vertical racks or properly spaced horizontal trays to ensure optimal hot air circulation while wearing ESD-safe and thermal protection gear.
Quality Verification:
Inspect baked boards for warping, discoloration, or delamination after a controlled Compensation / Pay Rate (Up to): $19.00 - $20.00
