About The Position

Under close supervision, performs a wide variety of electronic and electro-mechanical subassembly and assembly operations of a semi-skilled nature to build up and assemble simple units such as power supplies, modules, chassis drawers, cable harnesses, PC boards, electronic systems and subassemblies. Solders and de-solders through-hole and surface mount technology (SMT) components. Installs and/or removes discrete components such as transformers, resistors, transistors, capacitors, inductors, etc., on to printed circuit assemblies (PCA’s), panels using both traditional soldering iron and or hot air techniques. Follows production drawings, sample assemblies and verbal instructions with general supervision. Understands and applies established acceptable workmanship practices to all facets of electronic assembly. Interprets and works from electromechanical schematics, drawings, work instructions and bills of material to understand the required parts and steps needed to complete the assigned assembly. Reads worksheets and wiring diagrams, selects components, such as transistors, resistors, relays, capacitors, and integrated circuits. Mounts assembled components, such as transformers, resistors, transistors, capacitors, integrated circuits, and sockets, on chassis panel, requiring manual dexterity and the ability to work with simple hand tools, soldering equipment, volt meters and other related test instrumentation. Knowledge of cleaning, lead preparation, component mounting, parts orientation. Connects component lead wires to printed circuit or routes and connects wires between individual component leads and other components, connectors, terminals, and contact points. Positions and aligns parts in specified relationship to each other in jig, fixture, or other holding device. Crimps, stakes, screws, bolts, rivets, welds, solders, cements, press fits, or performs similar operations to join or secure parts in place. Uses hand and small power tools to place small components in boards, cables, connectors, etc. Inspect parts and performs basic tests. May perform other assembly tasks such as potting, encapsulating, sanding, cleaning, epoxy bonding, curing, stamping, etching, impregnating, and color coding parts and assemblies. Adjusts or trims materials from components to achieve specified electrical or dimensional characteristics. Performs hand soldering using a soldering iron. May perform work (soldering and general inspection) under microscope. Performs online go-not-go testing and inspection to ensure parts and assemblies meet production specifications and standards. Troubleshoots and replaces defects of finished products. Reworks and repairs defective units rejected by inspection or test personnel. Follows safety procedures in the use and handling of flammable and hazardous chemicals required to meet all cleanliness specifications. Must be able to follow specific procedures and detailed instructions completely. Ensures that quality checks are completed throughout the manufacturing process. Records information on production records, logs and other report forms.
