Description
Position Overview
The Hand Soldering Technician is responsible for producing reliable, high quality solder connections that comply with industry standards for electronics manufacturing, aerospace, and medical device applications. The role involves precision hand soldering, de soldering, and component level repair on electronic and electromechanical assemblies, ensuring adherence to stringent quality, safety, and documentation requirements.
Key Responsibilities
- **Soldering Operations:**
- Perform hand soldering, de soldering, and rework on printed circuit boards (PCBs), wire harnesses, and mechanical assemblies using soldering irons, hot air tools, and precision hand tools.
- Apply industry approved solder alloys (e.g., Sn Ag Cu) and fluxes to meet IPC A 610, MIL STD 883, and ISO 13485 specifications.
- **Quality Assurance:**
- Inspect solder joints visually and with magnification tools; perform functional testing as required.
- Document all work per traceability matrix; report non conformances and corrective actions.
- **Equipment Maintenance:**
- Calibrate and maintain soldering equipment, tip cleaning, and temperature control.
- Participate in scheduled deep cleaning and preventive maintenance of workstations.
- **Technical Documentation:**
- Generate and update work instructions, process sheets, and repair logs.
- Ensure compliance with cleanroom or controlled environment protocols when applicable.
- **Collaboration & Continuous Improvement:**
- Work closely with Engineering, Quality, and Manufacturing teams to refine processes and reduce rework.
- Contribute to continuous improvement initiatives and training of new technicians.
## Required Skills & Qualifications
- High school diploma or GED; technical certification (e.g., IPC 610A, IPC J STD 001) preferred.
- 2+ years of hands on soldering experience in electronics, aerospace, or medical device manufacturing.
- Proficiency with soldering irons, solder paste dispensing, hot air rework stations, and de soldering tools.
- Strong understanding of solder joint reliability, thermal management, and contamination control.
- Ability to read schematics, assembly drawings, and BOMs.
- Excellent manual dexterity, visual acuity, and attention to detail.
- Knowledge of ESD safety practices and Cleanroom procedures is a plus.
Preferred Experience
- Experience with IPC 2221/IPC 2222 design standards.
- Familiarity with aerospace (AS9100) or medical device (ISO 13485) quality management systems.
- Prior involvement in process audits, root cause analysis, and corrective action implementation.
Physical & Working Conditions
- Standing for prolonged periods; occasional lifting of up to 20 lb.
- Exposure to solder fumes; must wear appropriate PPE and use fume extraction.
- Work may be performed in cleanroom or regulated environments.
