This role requires a minimum of 3 years of experience inspecting, measuring, and monitoring incoming, in-process, and finished product. IPC-A-610, J-STD-001, and IPC-600 certifications are a plus, but we are also open to training and certifying the right candidate.

Performing in-process inspections on products moving through the work cell, especially SMT, Wave Soldering, and Selective Soldering operations
Inspecting assemblies for conformance to IPC-A-610, J-STD-001 through 006, IPC-600, and company workmanship standards (note: assembly certification does not guarantee inspection certification)
Verifying that materials, components, and finished products meet required specifications
Conducting visual inspections and measurement tests using appropriate inspection tools
Documenting inspection results by completing required reports, logs, and quality records
Identifying and communicating quality concerns in a timely manner
Approving finished materials or products when they meet requirements
Returning products for rework when needed and confirming rework has been completed properly
Supporting the control of non-conforming materials and assemblies
Communicating with Production Supervisors, leads, and Engineering when quality issues arise
Following ESD requirements, board handling procedures, and moisture-sensitive device handling requirements
Supporting ISO Quality Management System standards related to quality, safety, environment, health, and security
Maintaining a safe, clean, and compliant work environment
Performing other duties as assigned
What We're Looking For
The ideal candidate is reliable, detail-focused, and comfortable working in a fast-paced manufacturing environment. You should be someone who can follow procedures, communicate clearly, and take action when quality standards are not being met.
