Job Summary & Essential Functions:
The Inspector is responsible for performing in-process visual inspections on circuit board assemblies (PCBA) and components to ensure adherence to industry standards such as IPC-A-610 and IPC/WHMA-A-620. This includes verifying the integrity of solder joints, component placement, and compliance with build specifications during the production process. The role involves the following key responsibilities:
Perform in-process inspections at various stages of production to ensure compliance with IPC-A-610, IPC/WHMA-A-620 (Class 2 & 3), and customer specifications.
Inspect solder joints, component placement, and other quality attributes during the assembly process.
Conduct audits of production processes for adherence to documented procedures and quality standards.
Maintain accurate inspection records, report defects, and log Pass/Fail/Reject decisions on workshop travelers and in applicable databases. Ensure that data is collected for quality tracking, trend analysis, and reporting, supporting proactive issue resolution and continuous improvement.
Promote and maintain 5S standards to ensure clean, organized, and efficient workstations.
Participate in Lean initiatives, including Kaizen events and continuous improvement projects.
Interpret and utilize technical documentation such as drawings, bills of materials (BOM), engineering change orders (ECOs), and redlines to guide inspections.
Work closely with production teams to resolve quality issues in real-time and provide feedback to ensure process improvements are implemented.
Assist the Quality Manager with quality improvement projects, root cause analysis, and process documentation updates.
