Electronics Soldering and Component-Level Repair Specialist

Role overview

Lead rapid, component-level rework and repair of circuit card assemblies (CCAs) and related subassemblies to rigorous aerospace and defense standards. Apply deep expertise with IPC and J-STD criteria to deliver reliable, high-quality outcomes while maintaining precise records and SPC data. Operate under general supervision and contribute to continuous improvement across products and processes.

Core responsibilities

• Rapid rework and modification of CCAs per IPC and J-STD requirements.
• Execution of approved rework, repairs, and engineering changes on electrical, electronic, and mechanical systems.
• Use of detailed work instructions and released planning, supported by technical drawings, 2D/3D models, schematics, circuit/wiring diagrams, equipment/process specs, photos, illustrations, and sketches.
• Completion of fabrication, installation, adjustment, fit checks, fastener alignment, connections, and subassembly tasks to support rework.
• Operation of shop tools and precision measuring instruments.
• Documentation of outcomes per procedure, including entry of SPC data and maintenance of rework charts, logs, records, and reports.
• Identification and documentation of CCA non-conformances to the component level.
• Assistance with definition, implementation, completion, and monitoring of work scope.
• Recommendations for product and process enhancements based on studies and evaluations.
• Safe work practices in a clean, organized environment; hazardous waste handling as qualified.
• Maintenance of all required licenses, permits, and certifications.

Required experience and skills

• Shift flexibility: able to work any shift.
• 5–7 years of rework experience using standard hand and air (pneumatic) tools.
• At least 3 years working to DoD and NASA assembly soldering specifications.
• 5 years applying J-STD-001.
• 5 years of component-level soldering and electronics repair.
• Fluent in reading/interpreting technical drawings and schematics; consistently follows blueprints, schematics, and wiring diagrams for correct placement and connections.
• Computer literacy, including: navigating the desktop, taskbar, windows, and settings; using mouse/keyboard and essential shortcuts; creating/renaming/deleting/organizing files and folders; connecting to printers; adjusting system preferences (volume, display).
• High attention to detail, excellent manual dexterity, and solid communication skills for issue reporting and instruction adherence.
• Hands-on assembly of board-level components (transistors, capacitors, ICs, relays, resistors, and related devices).
• Proficient soldering/desoldering via hand tools and automated equipment; conducts quality checks including AOI.
• Capable of diagnosing/repairing faulty components or circuits; maintains tools/equipment; thoroughly documents assembly processes and issues.

Work environment

Clean, organized, and safety-driven setting with general supervision. Expect disciplined documentation and collaboration as part of daily execution.
