Post-Solder Operator

Job Summary We are seeking a detail-oriented Post-Solder Operator to join our manufacturing team. The ideal candidate will be responsible for inspecting, testing, and ensuring the quality of PCB assemblies after soldering processes. This role requires a strong understanding of surface mount technology, electrical wiring, and schematic interpretation to maintain high standards in electronic manufacturing. The position offers an opportunity to work in a fast-paced environment focused on precision and quality assurance. Duties Perform post‑soldering operations on printed circuit boards (PCBs), including work on through‑hole and surface‑mount (SMT) components, cable assemblies, and wire harnesses. Utilize appropriate fluxes, solder wires, and cleaning solvents for both leaded and lead‑free soldering processes. Solder SMT components—including resistors, capacitors, diodes, SOICs, SOMs, SOLs, PLCCs—under a microscope in accordance with IPC‑A‑610 Class 3 standards. Route, solder, and adhere jumper wires to PCBs following specified procedures and engineering changes. Interpret simple diagrams, Engineering Change Notices (ECNs), and related documentation to perform modifications or updates during post‑solder assembly. Accurately read resistor color codes and capacitor values to replace or install missing or upgraded components. Operate a variety of electrical and manual tools such as electric screwdrivers, heat guns, and torque drivers. Read and interpret PCB assembly drawings, ECNs, assembly instructions, and basic schematics to ensure proper component installation. Maintain consistent time standards to meet daily and weekly production schedules. Execute complete PCB assembly processes, including proper installation sequencing of through‑hole components. Use a microscope to perform precision soldering on SMT devices such as QFPs and jumper wires following ECNs. Remove SMT devices using a PACE hot‑air rework station without damaging PCB pads or components. Perform high‑quality touch‑up soldering (SMT and through‑hole) as needed for post‑solder inspection and rework. Maintain proficiency with microscopes and other visual inspection tools used in the assembly process. Skills Strong knowledge of PCB assembly, soldering, and surface mount technology (SMT) Familiarity with IPC 610 standards for electronic assemblies Experience with programmable logic controllers (PLCs) is a plus Ability to read schematics, electrical wiring diagrams, and mechanical drawings Proficient in using calipers, ohmmeters, and other measurement tools Mechanical knowledge with experience operating hand tools, power tools, and machining equipment Understanding of electrical experience related to circuit testing and troubleshooting Ability to work with schematics and technical documentation accurately Good manual dexterity and attention to detail for precise assembly tasks Prior experience in manufacturing environments involving electronics or similar fields is preferred This position is integral to maintaining the quality and reliability of our electronic products. Candidates should demonstrate strong technical skills, attention to detail, and a commitment to safety and quality standards.
