Your day at a glance

Step onto the production floor and into precision work that keeps advanced electronics moving. You’ll screen-print conductive, non-conductive, and resistive pastes onto ceramic substrates, cure them in high-temperature belt furnaces, and perform fine-pitch assembly under a microscope. You’ll verify every detail against drawings and specifications, capture data at the workstation, and collaborate with your team to keep quality first.

What you’ll do

  • Apply thick-film screen-printing methods to build ceramic microcircuit substrates using conductive, dielectric, and resistor materials.
  • Operate and monitor high-temperature belt furnaces to properly fire printed pastes onto ceramics.
  • Perform microscope-assisted assembly using soldering equipment and precision hand tools.
  • Use measurement devices to confirm components and assemblies meet specification requirements.
  • Execute additional assembly tasks, including solder and epoxy die attach and hand-soldering leads to SSPCs.
  • Follow documented process flows to determine assembly methods, sequences, and inspection steps.
  • Identify, select, and stage components for subassembly and final assembly integration.
  • Conduct rework when needed; provide clear feedback and maintain rigorous accuracy.
  • Access job packets, drawings, and specifications via computer to guide your work.
  • Adhere to company policies and safety standards while actively expanding your knowledge and skills.
