PCB Technician
About The Position
We are seeking a detail-oriented PCB Technician to join our manufacturing team. This role involves operating our printed circuit board assembly line, reworking failed units, and managing production workflows. We require self-driven applicants with a strong attention to detail, and experience with reliably reworking challenging SMT components including QFN parts and exposed pads. Work is split roughly between small-scale, rapid turnaround prototyping runs and intermediate quantity production runs of proven designs. Our PCB line is fundamentally a prototyping line, and you will be running all parts of the setup from pasting and pick/place, to thru-hole soldering, rework, and harnessing. Production quantities are on the smaller side, and you will be working with engineering teams frequently to assemble multiple designs per week. The ideal candidate will have strong attention to detail, hands-on technical skills, advanced soldering experience, and a passion for optimizing manufacturing efficiency across diverse production requirements.
Requirements
- High attention to detail with commitment to quality standards
- Baseline familiarity with electronic components and their functionalities
- Extensive experience with hand soldering techniques and SMT rework including QFN parts
- Strong organizational skills and ability to maintain clean, efficient work areas
- Ability to work independently and as part of a team
- Good communication skills for documentation and reporting
Responsibilities
- Operate and monitor PCBA line equipment and processes
- Manage PCB assembly area, maintaining organization and workflow efficiency
- Assemble circuit boards into final enclosures
- Perform hand soldering for through-hole connectors and surface mount component rework
- Ensure high-quality output through careful inspection and testing
- Troubleshoot assembly issues and implement corrective actions
- Continuously evaluate and improve PCBA processes to increase speed, efficiency, and yield
- Document procedures for existing and newly developed processes
- Identify bottlenecks and implement solutions to optimize production flow
- Collaborate with engineering team on process enhancements
Benefits
- Medical, dental, vision, disability, and life insurance
- FSA/HSA options
- 401(k) with matching contributions
