Job Summary The Assembler - Second Shift is responsible for performing advanced soldering, assembly, and rework operations on complex electronic components and printed circuit boards (PCBs). This position requires expertise in both surface-mount technology (SMT) and through-hole soldering, with the ability to remove, repair, and replace a wide range of components-including bottom-terminated packages such as QFNs, BGAs, and LGAs. The ideal candidate will possess hands-on experience using advanced rework equipment, X-ray inspection systems, and quality control techniques in accordance with IPC, ISO-9001, and AS9100 standards. Job Responsibilities Perform high-mix, low-volume assembly and inspection of SMT and through-hole components on complex PCBs. Remove, replace, and repair bottom-terminated components (QFNs, BGAs, LGAs) using hot-air pencils, hot plates, and precision rework tools. Execute reflow, preheat, and controlled cooling cycles following component-specific thermal profiles. Operate and maintain X-ray inspection equipment to verify solder joint integrity on hidden pads. Interpret engineering drawings, work orders, and Bills of Materials (BOMs) to ensure accurate component placement and orientation. Conduct in-process inspections (visual, AOI, and X-ray) and accurately document results per quality system requirements. Troubleshoot solder-related defects (e.g., tombstoning, voids, solder bridges) and implement corrective actions as needed. Maintain compliance with ESD, FOD, and safety procedures within controlled environments. Collaborate with quality and engineering teams to drive continuous improvement, suggesting tooling or process enhancements. Ensure all assembly and rework meet IPC soldering standards and applicable ISO-9001 and AS9100 quality requirements. Job Requirements Advanced soldering and rework experience with SMT and through-hole components required. Proven proficiency in removing and reattaching fine-pitch and bottom-terminated components (QFNs, BGAs, LGAs). Experience operating X-ray inspection equipment to assess hidden solder joints. Strong understanding of PCB assembly processes, thermal profiling, and reflow operations. Familiarity with IPC standards (IPC-A-610, J-STD-001) and ISO/AS9100 quality systems preferred. Excellent attention to detail and commitment to precision workmanship. Ability to interpret technical drawings and follow written and verbal work instructions. Strong troubleshooting and problem-solving skills. Must be able to work effectively in a cleanroom or controlled ESD environment. Education High school diploma or GED required. Technical or vocational training in electronics or soldering preferred. Work Experience Minimum of three years of experience in electronic assembly, soldering, or rework within aerospace, defense, or high-reliability manufacturing environments preferred.
