Benefits:

401(k) matching Dental insurance Flexible schedule Health insurance Life insurance Vision insurance Application Question(s): Briefly describe the most complex electronic or electromechanical assembly you have personally built or reworked. What type of hardware was it, what components or subassemblies were involved, and which assembly processes did you personally perform from start to finish? Describe how you use engineering drawings, schematics, blueprints, diagrams, specifications, and revision-controlled work instructions to build an assembly. Briefly explain how you verify component identification, orientation, dimensions, connections, sequence, and revision requirements before and during assembly? Briefly describe your hands-on soldering and SMT experience. Include the types of components or boards you have worked on, soldering/rework techniques and equipment used, microscope requirements, and how you determine that a solder joint or rework operation meets the required workmanship standard? Describe the most technically demanding

PCB/PCBA

assembly or component-level rework you have personally performed. Briefly explain the defect or modification, tools and equipment used, how you protected surrounding components, and how you verified the board after the work was completed? Briefly describe a complex wire harness or cable assembly you have personally built. Walk through the key steps you performed—including wire identification and preparation, routing, termination/crimping or soldering, connector assembly, securing, inspection, and electrical verification—and explain how you prevented wiring or connection errors? Describe your hands-on experience performing precision assembly, soldering, inspection, or rework under a microscope. What types of fine-pitch, miniature, or closely spaced components have you worked with, and how did you maintain accuracy while protecting the hardware from damage? Describe the most difficult assembly defect, wiring issue, soldering problem, or test failure you personally identified. Briefly explain how you isolated the root cause, what corrective action you performed, how you determined the repair was successful, and what final inspection or test confirmed the hardware was acceptable? Briefly describe how you have worked in a high-reliability manufacturing environment where ESD, FOD, workmanship, traceability, configuration control, and revision-controlled documentation were critical. Explain the specific practices you personally followed to prevent quality escapes or damage to sensitive hardware? Describe the inspection and testing you have personally performed on completed electronic, electrical, or electromechanical assemblies. Include the continuity or electrical checks, test equipment or methods used, acceptance criteria followed, and how you handled a failure or out-of-specification result? You are assembling a complex defense electronic assembly and discover a small discrepancy between the drawing, work instruction, component orientation, and the physical hardware while production is under time pressure. Briefly explain how you would investigate the discrepancy, determine the correct requirement, protect the hardware, decide what should or should not proceed, document and escalate the issue, and verify the final assembly before release. What potential problem would you look for that another assembler might overlook?
