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.
