Soldering Technician

Job Description

This role focuses on performing highly precise soldering and rework on complex printed circuit board assemblies (PCBAs) to consistently high workmanship standards. You will handle advanced micro-soldering tasks in a lab environment, support engineering teams with board modifications, and help define best practices for rework procedures. The position requires a strong technical foundation in electronics, exceptional attention to detail, and the ability to work independently on high-value, time-critical hardware.

Responsibilities

• Perform precision soldering and rework on complex PCBAs to consistently high workmanship standards.
• Execute advanced micro-soldering tasks in a lab setting, including fine-pitch SMD components, high pin-count connectors, and QFN, LGA, and BGA rework, including reflow and reballing.
• Diagnose and repair damaged pads, traces, vias, and connectors to restore full functionality and reliability.
• Support engineering debug activities by implementing board modifications, engineering change orders (ECOs), and bodge rework as directed.
• Work from schematics, board layouts, and engineering guidance to plan and execute accurate, repeatable rework.

Requirements

• At least 1-2 years of professional experience in electronics soldering and PCBA rework utilizing a microscope
• Extensive hands-on experience working with fine-pitch and high-density PCBAs in a production or lab environment.
• Proven expertise in micro-soldering under a microscope, including the ability to handle delicate components and tight layouts.
• Strong understanding of PCB construction, including layers, traces, vias, and pad design.
• Solid knowledge of component packages such as SMD, QFN, LGA, and BGA, including their handling and rework requirements.
