Job Description
We are seeking a highly experienced Solder Assembler with deep expertise in both surface mount technology (SMT) and through hole soldering. The ideal candidate will be proficient in reworking and repairing a wide range of components-including bottom terminated devices such as QFNs, BGAs, and LGAs-using advanced rework equipment and X ray inspection methods. This role supports high mix, low volume production of critical aerospace and defense electronics, requiring meticulous attention to detail and a strong commitment to quality.

  • Perform high mix SMT and through hole soldering on printed circuit boards (PCBs) in accordance with work orders, engineering drawings, and IPC standards.
  • Remove, replace, and re work components, including bottom terminated devices (QFNs, BGAs, LGAs) using hot air pencils, hot plates, reflow ovens, and specialty rework stations.
  • Conduct X ray inspection of re worked bottom terminated parts, evaluate solder joint integrity, and document findings.
  • Execute board level verification (visual, AOI, X ray) and functional testing to ensure conformance to specifications.
  • Interpret and follow engineering change orders (ECOs) and bills of materials (BOMs); apply "build to print" practices where required.
  • Minimum 5 years of hands on SMT/TH solder assembly in a high mix, low volume environment (aerospace, defense, or similar).
  • Additional certification (e.g., IPC-A-610, IPC-J-STD-001)
  • Ability to sit for extended periods and lift to 25lb (11kg).
  • Vision acuity (or corrective lenses) sufficient for detailed microscope work.
