Description
Chipton-Ross is seeking multiple Solder Assemblers for a contract opportunity in Oldsmar, FL.
POSITION RESPONSIBILITIES
We are seeking a highly experienced Solder Assembler to join our precision electronics manufacturing team. The successful candidate will be an expert in both surface-mount technology (SMT) and through-hole soldering, with a proven track record of removing, repairing, and replacing a wide variety of components—including bottom-terminated parts such as QFNs, BGAs, and LGAs. The role requires hands-on use of advanced rework equipment and the ability to verify workmanship using X-ray inspection techniques. Perform high-mix, low-volume assembly of SMT and through-hole components on complex printed circuit boards (PCBs). Execute removal, replacement, and repair of bottom-terminated components (QFNs, BGAs, LGAs) using hot-air pencils, hot plates, and other rework tools. Conduct precise reflow, pre-heat, and cooling cycles to meet component-specific thermal profiles. Operate and maintain X-ray inspection equipment to evaluate solder joints on hidden pads and verify rework quality. Interpret engineering drawings, work orders, and Bill of Materials (BOM) to ensure correct component placement and orientation. Perform in-process quality checks (visual, AOI, X-ray) and document results per quality system requirements. Troubleshoot solder-related defects (e.g., tombstoning, voids, solder bridges) and implement corrective actions. Maintain ESD-controlled environments; follow all safety and compliance procedures. Contribute to continuous-improvement initiatives, suggesting tooling upgrades or process optimizations. Operator must be willing to work under a microscope for long periods of time while inspecting and working on PWBs. REQUIRED EDUCATION
Accredited High School Diploma or GED.
