Your work will support production schedules and contribute to consistent, high-quality output.

Key Responsibilities:

• Assemble electronic components and printed circuit boards according to engineering drawings, schematics, and work instructions.
• Perform through-hole and surface-mount soldering, wire bonding, and cable harness assembly to IPC-A-610 workmanship standards.
• Inspect assemblies visually and with basic test equipment to verify proper component placement, polarity, and solder joint quality.
• Conduct electronic testing using multimeters and oscilloscopes to validate functionality and identify faults.
• Troubleshoot and rework defective assemblies, including de-soldering, component replacement, and wiring corrections.
• Document assembly steps, test results, and rework performed in line with internal procedures.
• Collaborate with engineers and production staff to resolve assembly issues and improve build processes.
• Maintain a clean, organized work area and follow all safety and ESD handling procedures.

Key Requirements:

• Proven experience as an electronic assembler or similar role working with printed circuit boards and electronic components.
• Strong soldering skills in both through-hole and surface-mount technologies, including fine-pitch work.
• Ability to read and interpret electronic schematics, wiring diagrams, and assembly drawings accurately.
• Hands-on experience using multimeters and oscilloscopes for basic electronic testing and troubleshooting.
• Demonstrated compliance with IPC-A-610 workmanship standards in previous roles.
• Good manual dexterity and attention to detail for precise assembly and rework tasks.
• Ability to work to defined production schedules, manage multiple assemblies, and meet quality targets.
• Strong communication skills and ability to follow written and verbal instructions in a production environment.

Desirable Skills:

• Experience with cable and harness assembly, crimping, and connector installation.
• Familiarity with ESD-safe work practices and handling of sensitive electronic components.
• Background in low-volume, high-mix production or prototype builds.
• Experience working within ISO or other quality-managed manufacturing environments.
• Basic knowledge of root cause analysis and continuous improvement practices.

Qualifications:

• High school diploma or GED required.
• Technical certificate or vocational training in electronics, electrical assembly, or related field preferred.
• IPC-A-610 certification or equivalent formal training in electronic workmanship standards strongly preferred.
