PCB Assembler SMT & THT

ChipOnBoard
Berea Full-day Full-time

Description:

We are seeking a highly versatile and disciplined PCB Assembly Candidate for an immediate 3-month contract. This role requires a hands on person who is equally comfortable operating SMT machinery as they are performing high-precision manual soldering. You will be responsible for end-to-end assembly and ownership of the assembly process, ensuring all boards meet rigorous quality standards from the first pass.


Key Responsibilities

Raw Material handling: Ability to identify component types, values and counting & kitting

SMT Operations: Set up and operate pick-and-place machines, apply solder paste via stencils, and manage reflow oven profiles.

THT Assembly: Expert-level manual soldering of through-hole components with speed and precision.

Mechanical Aptitude: Strong hands-on ability to troubleshoot and perform minor maintenance on assembly equipment (feeders, conveyors, stencil printers). Comfortable using hand tools for mechanical chassis integration and box-build assembly.

Rework & Repair: Perform complex rework and fine-pitch component replacement using hot air stations and de-soldering tools.

Quality Control: Inspect assemblies against IPC-A-610 standards to ensure zero-defect delivery


Technical Requirements

Proven Experience: A minimum of 5 years in a professional PCB assembly environment.

Soldering Mastery: Must demonstrate "Class 3" level hand-soldering skills.

Blueprint Literacy: Ability to read and interpret schematics, BOMs (Bills of Materials), and assembly drawings.

Versatility: Ability to pivot between low-volume and prototype builds.
