Job description

Step into the heart of electronics quality Imagine starting your day bringing a new run of printed circuit boards to life. You power up automated test equipment, validate fixtures, and run first-article tests. Mid-morning, you’re deep into measurements with calipers, micrometers, and an ohmmeter, confirming that what’s on the bench matches what’s on the drawing. After lunch, you’re reviewing AOI images and doing a careful visual sweep to catch anything IPC 610 wouldn’t allow-solder bridges, tombstones, lifted leads. By late afternoon, your analysis turns into clear, data-backed quality reports and a quick sync with engineering to tighten a process and prevent a recurring defect from coming back tomorrow.

This paid role places you at the quality gate for electronic assemblies shipped to customers around the world-ideal for someone who thrives in a fast-paced, precision-driven manufacturing environment.

What you’ll tackle

• Run comprehensive functional tests on PCB assemblies and finished units using automated test equipment and manual bench methods.
• Use precision tools- calipers, micrometers, and ohmmeters to capture accurate measurements and log reliable data.
• Inspect SMT assemblies and solder joints for mechanical integrity in alignment with IPC 610 standards.
• Leverage AOI systems and meticulous visual inspection to spot defects and deviations from specification.
• Read and interpret schematics, drawings, and test procedures to debug failures and uphold quality control protocols.
• Record test outcomes with rigor, analyze trends, and produce detailed quality documentation.
• Flag process inefficiencies and recurring issues, collaborating with engineering on corrective actions and continuous improvement.

What you bring

• Solid understanding of SMT assembly processes and quality benchmarks such as IPC 610.
• Hands-on proficiency with precision measuring instruments (calipers, micrometers, ohmmeters) and confidence working from schematics; skilled with soldering irons and standard hand tools.
• Experience executing PCB test procedures with automated test systems and automated optical inspection (AOI).
• Mechanical know-how related to component assembly, soldering methods, and mechanical inspection tools.
• Ability to analyze test data, troubleshoot through structured debugging, and accurately interpret schematics.
• Familiarity with quality assurance practices, inspection protocols, and compliance with manufacturing standards.
• Exceptional attention to detail paired with strong analytical skills for data collection, defect detection, and process optimization.

If precision, curiosity, and collaboration energize you, this is your chance to grow your technical skills while protecting product reliability at scale.
