Job Summary We are seeking a detail-oriented PCBA Inspector to join our electronics manufacturing team. In this role, you will be responsible for ensuring the quality and reliability of printed circuit board assemblies (PCBAs) throughout the production process. Depending on assignment, you will either perform final inspection on completed assemblies or operate a 3D Automated Optical Inspection (AOI) machine. The ideal candidate has a strong eye for detail, understands electronic component placement and soldering standards, and is comfortable working with precision inspection equipment. You will play a critical role in catching defects early, maintaining quality documentation, and supporting our team's commitment to delivering reliable, high-quality electronic products. This position requires the use magnification tools or inspection equipment, and work in a clean, ESD-safe environment.
