• Use a variety of equipment including power supplies, multimeters, leak detection and vacuum systems, pressure generators, voltmeters, ohmmeters, ovens, soldering equipment, microscopes, and precision hand tools.

• Align and clamp parts together, or position items in fixtures, jigs, or other holding devices to maintain correct alignment during assembly and soldering.

• Measure parts to determine tolerances using precision measuring instruments such as micrometers and calipers.

• Connect component lead wires to printed circuit boards, route and connect wires between individual component leads and other components, connectors, terminals, and contact points.

• Assemble and attach hardware such as caps, clamps, knobs, and switches to assemblies according to documentation and specifications.

• Adjust or trim materials from components to achieve specified electrical or dimensional characteristics.

• Perform intermediate assembly tasks such as potting, sanding, cleaning, epoxy bonding, curing, stamping, and etching parts and assemblies.

• Trim, prepare, and apply components including wire, cables, connectors, and resistors using solder and various adhesives as specified by prints and procedural documents.

• Adjust, repair, or replace electronic component parts to correct defects and ensure conformance to specifications.

• Perform go/no-go testing and inspection to ensure parts and assemblies meet quality, performance, and production specifications and standards.

• Create documentation for process improvements, including engineering change requests (ECR), to support continuous improvement initiatives.

• Collaborate with supervisors or engineers to plan or review work activities and resolve production or assembly problems.

• Inspect, test, and adjust completed units to ensure they meet specifications, tolerances, and customer order requirements.

• Produce parts and products efficiently with a minimum of waste and rework, following established quality standards and procedures.

• Assemble electronic components, subassemblies, and products according to quality specifications and documented process procedures on a daily basis.
