| Job Responsibilities
• Perform manual rework and repair of PCB assemblies, including component removal, replacement, soldering, lead forming, and minor trace or pad touch-up based on approved instructions.
• Follow detailed rework guides, Work Instructions, engineering change notices (ECO/MCO), and visual aids to ensure accurate and consistent work.
• Use appropriate rework tools such as soldering irons, hot‑air stations, tweezers, microscopes, and precision rework equipment for fine-pitch or sensitive components.
• Handle PCBs, components, and assemblies using correct ESD protection and proper handling techniques to avoid damage.
• Perform visual inspection and basic functional checks (within operator-level scope) to confirm reworked units meet workmanship and quality requirements.
• Document rework actions clearly, including replaced components, defect type, and verification results, ensuring full traceability of all repairs performed.
• Notify Area Shift Leaders or Shift Leaders of recurring defects, unclear instructions, or issues that prevent proper rework execution.
• Maintain a clean, organized, and ESD‑safe rework station, ensuring tools, materials, and components are stored and used correctly.
• Apply IPC‑A‑610 and IPC‑7711/7721 workmanship standards during all rework and repair tasks to protect board quality and reliability.
• Collaborate with Shift Leaders, Area Shift Leaders, Quality Inspectors, Engineers, and fellow operators to clarify issues, ensure proper defect understanding, and support smooth product flow.
• Follow all safety, ESD, chemical handling, and equipment‑use protocols, ensuring safe and compliant rework practices at all times.
• Contribute to continuous improvement by reporting recurring defects, suggesting rework simplifications, and supporting defect‑reduction initiatives.
| Education level required |
• High School Diploma or Technical Certificate in Electronics or a related field. |
| Years and area of experience required |
