Electronics Technician

Qualifications:

• Technical certificate, associate degree, military electronics training, or equivalent hands-on electronics experience.
• Demonstrated experience performing board-level electronic assembly, soldering, component replacement, and printed-circuit-board repair (through-hole and surface-mount).
• Hands-on ability with repair tooling such as microscopes, soldering and desoldering systems, hot-air tools, preheaters, and board-cleaning equipment.
• Ability to execute controlled board-level repair and rework to approved procedures and engineering instructions, including inspection for damage, contamination, and workmanship defects.
• Experience maintaining product and component traceability and following controlled processes, including stopping work and escalating when scope exceeds authorization.
• Experience with BGA removal, site preparation, replacement, reballing, thermal-profile execution, and post-rework inspection.
• Ability to read and follow schematics, assembly drawings, bills of material, repair instructions, engineering dispositions, and component markings.
• IPC J-STD-001, IPC-A-610, IPC-7711/7721, or equivalent certification (preferred).

Responsibilities:

• Perform controlled board-level repair, component rework, mechanical modification, cleaning, inspection, and preparation of assemblies for retest using released procedures and engineering dispositions.
• Execute component removal and replacement, jumper installation, connector and socket replacement, and other authorized rework; inspect for damaged traces, pads, vias, contamination, and workmanship defects.
• Own day-to-day readiness and operation of the BGA rework capability, including equipment setup, tooling, profiles, software configurations, calibration status, consumables, and associated records.
• Maintain complete records and traceability for work performed, components replaced, settings used, rework cycles, inspection results, and final outcomes; route repaired units to qualified test owners and support retest when requested.
• Support Engineering and Quality with process development and improvement, assist with controlled documentation and standard work, and escalate when instructions are unclear or unexpected damage is found.
