SMT Soldering & Test Technican

Contract: 3–6 months (potential extensions)

Pay: $45/hr, W2

We’re looking for a hands‑on SMT Soldering & Test Technician to support R&D and low‑volume manufacturing of electro‑mechanical and optical products. This role focuses on precision soldering, PCB rework, electrical testing, and troubleshooting
.

• Perform precision SMT soldering and rework on small components, including 0201 and lead‑less packages (QFN, DFN, LGA).
• Remove and replace ICs and other surface‑mount components, including in challenging scenarios.
• Power‑up and test PCBs
  , capturing critical measurements (voltage, current, PK2PK ripple).
• Troubleshoot and repair boards at the component level (shorts, unexpected current draw, failed ICs, diodes, FETs).
• Support environmental stress and burn‑in testing (temperature cycling, hot/cold tests).
• Inspect solder joints for quality and document all work in spreadsheets or tracking systems (e.g., JIRA).
• Follow formal test procedures, ESD, and safety standards.
• Use bench equipment such as PSUs, DMMs, and oscilloscopes
  ; run existing test automation or data logging scripts as needed.

• 3–5 years hands‑on SMT soldering and rework experience with fine‑pitch components
• Proven ability to work with 0201 components and lead‑less packages
• Component‑level troubleshooting and basic electrical testing experience
• Familiarity with bench equipment and capturing critical electrical measurements
• Experience with environmental stress and burn‑in testing
• Strong documentation skills and experience following formal test procedures and tracking results
• High attention to detail and comfort working with delicate assemblies
