Solder Assembler
Clearwater, FL
Mon–Thu 5:00 AM – 3:30 PM
***We can only consider US Citizens***
About the Role
We're hiring 3 experienced Solder Assemblers to join a precision electronics manufacturing team working on complex, high-mix/low-volume PCB assemblies. You'll be hands-on every day — reworking advanced components, operating X-ray inspection equipment, and maintaining the highest workmanship standards in an ESD-controlled environment.
What You'll Do
- Perform SMT and through-hole assembly on complex printed circuit boards (PCBs)
- Remove, replace, and repair bottom-terminated components (QFNs, BGAs, LGAs) using hot-air pencils, hot plates, and rework tools
- Execute precise reflow, pre-heat, and cooling cycles following component-specific thermal profiles
- Operate X-ray inspection equipment to evaluate solder joints on hidden pads and verify rework quality
- Interpret engineering drawings, work orders, and Bills of Materials (BOM) for correct component placement
- Perform in-process quality checks (visual, AOI, X-ray) and document results per quality system requirements
- Troubleshoot solder defects (tombstoning, voids, solder bridges) and implement corrective actions
- Work under a microscope for extended periods while inspecting and assembling PWBs
- Maintain ESD-controlled environments and follow all safety and compliance procedures
- Contribute to continuous improvement initiatives and process optimizations
What We're Looking For
- Strong hands-on soldering experience — certification not required but preferred
- Experience with SMT and through-hole soldering on complex PCBs
- Familiarity with BGA, QFN, and LGA rework processes
- Experience operating X-ray inspection equipment is a plus
- Ability to read and interpret engineering drawings, BOMs, and work orders
- Must be able to read and write in English
- Detail-oriented with the ability to work under a microscope for extended periods
- Comfortable in a structured, compliance-driven manufacturing environment
Schedule
- Shift: Monday – Thursday, 5:00 AM – 3:30 PM EST (10 hrs OT/week included)
- Contract through June 2026
- Medical exam required prior to start (per supplier guidelines)
