Space-Grade SMT/Through-Hole Rework Technician

Picture your day starting at a clean, organized bench with a microscope, precision irons, and a cart of PCBs fresh from the reflow line. You review work instructions, confirm component IDs and polarity, and then move from fine-pitch micro‑soldering to through‑hole touch‑ups with steady hands and sharp focus. You rotate between prototype builds and production rework, ensuring every joint meets space-grade expectations for aerospace and defense customers.

• Execute high-precision manual soldering on SMT and through‑hole assemblies, including micro‑soldering and fine‑pitch components.
• Support automated lines with component onsertion/insertion, reflow assistance, and meticulous hand-solder touch‑ups.
• Inspect under the microscope to verify compliance with J‑STD‑001 (Space Addendum) and IPC‑A‑610, plus specific customer standards.
• Interpret schematics, engineering drawings, BOMs, and customer documentation to build and rework boards correctly the first time.
• Clean completed assemblies using both manual techniques and automated cleaning systems to meet contamination and reliability targets.
• Document production activity, quality checks, and defects with accuracy and completeness.
• Perform rework and repair on complex electronic assemblies while protecting components from ESD and heat damage.
• Follow the Quality Management System (QMS) rigorously and contribute to process improvements.
• Maintain required technical certifications and complete periodic re‑certifications.
• Keep the work area safe, efficient, and inspection‑ready at all times.

• Ability to obtain/maintain J‑STD‑001 certification with Space Addendum (required); IPC‑A‑610 certification preferred.
• 5 years of SMT soldering experience in a high‑reliability electronics environment.
• Expertise in component identification, polarity, ESD controls, and IPC workmanship standards.
• Proficiency reading technical drawings, BOMs, and detailed assembly instructions.
• Exceptional attention to detail and comfort with repetitive precision work.
• Clear written and verbal communication skills.
• Ability to thrive independently and collaborate within a small, fast‑paced team.
• Capable of lifting 35 lbs and safely operating soldering tools, microscopes, and assembly equipment.

• High school diploma or equivalent required.
• 4/10 schedule, Monday–Thursday.

• U.S. Citizenship required(due to project and customer requirements).
• Must pass abackground check and drug screening.
