Gridless Power is a growing battery technology company looking for a motivated, detail-oriented soldering technician to help build our production line and increase production efficiency. The ideal candidate has hands-on experience producing high-reliability electronic assemblies, including through-hole soldering, surface mount device (SMD) placement, and SMD rework.

2 years of experience in electronics assembly is required, with demonstrated soldering proficiency on both through-hole and surface mount components. IPC-A-610 certification (Acceptability of Electronic Assemblies), or the ability to obtain certification within 90 days of hire, is required. Attention to detail, steady manual dexterity, and the ability to work under magnification for extended periods are essential for this position. Preferred applicants are goal oriented and able to consistently meet production deadlines while maintaining IPC Class 2 or Class 3 workmanship standards.

Day-to-day Responsibilities

• Hand soldering of through-hole components and wire-to-PCB terminations to IPC-A-610 Class 2 or Class 3 acceptance criteria
• Placement, reflow, and inspection of surface mount devices (SMD), including fine-pitch QFN, QFP, BGA, and passive components down to 0402
• SMD rework and repair using hot air rework stations, preheaters, soldering irons, solder wick, and flux to remove and replace defective components without damaging adjacent parts or PCB pads.
• Visual inspection of solder joints under magnification, identifying defects such as cold joints, insufficient wetting, solder bridges, tombstoning, and lifted pads per IPC-A-610 standards
• Following ESD-safe handling procedures and maintaining a clean, organized workstation in accordance with IPC and company standards
• Entering completed work into production system
• Light mechanical assembly, using hand or power tools based on drawings and work instructions.
• Quality assurance of finished assemblies, including continuity testing and final inspection of solder workmanship to IPC-A-610 acceptance criteria
