IPC-J-STD 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.

REQUIRED EDUCATION

• Accredited High School Diploma or

GED. WORK HOURS
