Hardware/Software GPS solutions company seeks a
SMT Electronics Assembly & Rework Technician (“Assembler”)
to join their growing hardware team in Santa Clara, CA. Duration : Temp-to-Hire Schedule : Full-time, 9am–5pm, Target Pay Rate : $25/hour (up to $33/hr)
You're an ideal candidate if you have experience working with PCBA, fine-pitch surface-mount components, and rework techniques, with the ability to perform precise soldering and testing operations. This is a low-volume, high-precision manufacturing role: perfect if you have prototyping or advanced small-batch assembly experience.
Please submit your resume highlighting relevant soldering, PCBA, and rework experience. Include any certifications or examples of past hardware you've assembled or tested.
Key Responsibilities • Assemble and rework printed circuit board assemblies (PCBA), including SMD components down to 0201 and BGA packages. • Perform precise hand soldering and desoldering using hot air and rework stations. • Read and interpret engineering schematics, assembly drawings, and work instructions. • Perform visual inspection of solder joints per IPC-A-610 Class II/III standards. • Test completed boards using multimeters, oscilloscopes, and other diagnostic tools. • Assist with system-level hardware integration and final product assembly. • Maintain clean, organized, and ESD-safe work areas. • Document work performed, issues encountered, and parts used. • Collaborate closely with the engineering team to iterate on design improvements and manufacturing processes.
Required Qualifications • Experience in electronics assembly, PCBA rework, or prototyping. • Strong experience with SMT soldering and rework, including 0201 components and BGAs. • Proficient in reading schematics and using test equipment (e.g., multimeter, oscilloscope). • Good manual dexterity and attention to detail for small and delicate components. • Comfortable working independently on technical builds with minimal supervision. • Strong communication and record-keeping skills.
Qualifications (Nice to Have) • IPC-A-610 Class III Certification (or equivalent experience). • Experience working with GNSS, IoT, or RF hardware. • Familiarity with ERP or inventory management systems. • Ability to operate a microscope or inspection camera for precision assembly. • Experience in low-volume, high-mix manufacturing or rapid prototyping environments.
