printed wiring assemblies and related technologies using computer aided and manually
operated machinery. Perform equipment set-up, operation, and product and process
verification.
Working directly from shop documents such as Company or customer specifications,
Manufacturing Process Standards (MPS), blueprints, change notices, engineering notes
or verbal direction, perform the following duties to produce fully acceptable SMT, PTH
and mixed technology hardware:
Form components using manual and automated tools. Set-up, operate, and maintain
the automated component tinning machine.
Ensure the segregation and accurate inventory of various customers' SMT and mixed
technology components utilizing local kit carousel or locked inventory storage.
Electronically record component usage data per engineering direction using bar code
technology or manual recording.
Test solder paste for acceptability. Operate both automated and manual screen printing
equipment.
Operate automated adhesive application equipment. Manually apply adhesive as
required. Mix and degas multi-component materials prior to application.
Set-up machinery for automated ("pick and place") and manual placement. Ensure that
components are correctly loaded in automated feeders or carousels. Initialize
equipment, verifying satisfactory process operation before beginning production runs.
Set-up and operate continuous or batch hot nitrogen reflow ovens for solder paste
reflow and adhesive curing.
Utilize automated or manual cleaning equipment which operates with either a solvent or
aqueous system. Ensure that cleaned product meets standards required for further
processing.
Perform all necessary rework and repair of components, using semi-automatic removal
and placement equipment. Set-up and operate solder paste dispensing machine to
