- Assist with hot air and rework system setup for complex assemblies
- Evaluate circuit boards for repairability, component sensitivity, and rework risk under guidance
- Support troubleshooting of SMT and rework related defects and failures
- Help interpret schematics, BOMs, drawings, and technical documentation
- Assist with process documentation, work instructions, and continuous improvement efforts
- Work directly with technicians to support safe, repeatable, and reliable rework processes
What You Bring
- 2 to 8 years of experience in electronics manufacturing, SMT, process engineering, or related fields
- Hands on exposure to SMT assembly, reflow, or board level processes
- Basic understanding of thermodynamics, heat transfer, and component sensitivity
- Ability to read and interpret schematics and technical documentation
- Comfort working on the shop floor and supporting technicians
- Strong curiosity, problem solving mindset, and willingness to learn from senior engineers
Preferred Experience
- Experience in aerospace, defense, medical, or other high reliability electronics environments
- Exposure to hot air rework systems, reflow ovens, x ray inspection, or failure analysis
- Familiarity with IPC standards such as IPC A 610, J STD 001, or IPC 7711 7721
This role offers hands on exposure to complex electronics, close mentorship from senior engineers, and the opportunity to grow into deeper technical ownership over time.
