About this role:
Must be a nimble self-starter who is excited about technology and can think out of the box and suggest powerful new ideas
What you'll do:
Assemble cable harnesses and interconnects from drawings, work instructions, and BOMs — cut, strip, crimp, solder, terminate, lace, heat-shrink, and dress to IPC/WHMA-A-620 and company process.
Build and rework complex circuit card assemblies (CCA/PCBA) including through-hole and SMT soldering, component installation, conformal coating touch-up, and board-level rework.
Assemble and integrate electro-mechanical units: chassis, LRUs, backshells, connectors, panels, and ruggedized enclosures.
Read and follow schematics, wiring diagrams, assembly drawings, and travelers.
Perform continuity, and basic functional verification with multimeters and production test equipment.
Document as-built work, nonconformances, and first-article notes.
Work with production, and quality resolve build issues and improve process, yield, and work instructions.
Maintain ESD, FOD, and tool-control in a mixed prototype-to-production environment.
