Senior PCB Soldering Technician / Solder Assembler III – 1st Shift

Location: Westborough, MA
Schedule: Full-Time | 1st Shift
Industry: Advanced Electronics & PCBA Manufacturing
Pay: $25.00 – $29.00

Precision Soldering. Advanced Technology. Work That Matters.

Are you an experienced soldering professional who takes pride in precision workmanship? Do you enjoy working with complex printed circuit boards, fine-pitch components, and sophisticated electronic assemblies?

We’re looking for a skilled Senior PCB Soldering Technician / Solder Assembler III to join a high-tech electronics manufacturing team in Westborough, MA.

This is not an entry-level soldering position. We’re looking for someone who has developed strong hands-on soldering skills, understands electronic assembly workmanship standards, and can confidently handle complex PCB assembly, component replacement, and board-level rework.

You’ll work on sophisticated electronic products in a clean, modern manufacturing environment where your technical expertise, attention to detail, and craftsmanship are valued.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Perform precision hand soldering on complex printed circuit board assemblies (PCBAs).

• Solder through-hole and fine-pitch electronic components to established workmanship standards.

• Perform board-level rework, component replacement, solder touch-up, and repairs.

• Inspect solder joints and identify defects such as solder bridges, insufficient solder, cold joints, and other workmanship issues.

• Assemble electronic and electro-mechanical products using detailed work instructions, assembly drawings, and bills of materials (BOMs).

• Use soldering stations, microscopes, magnification equipment, and precision hand tools.

• Troubleshoot soldering and assembly issues while working with Engineering and Quality teams.

• Follow IPC-A-610, J-STD-001, ESD, and applicable customer quality requirements.

• Support prototype builds, new product introductions, and changing production requirements.

• Share technical knowledge and assist less-experienced assemblers when needed.

• Maintain accurate production records and follow established manufacturing and safety procedures.

What We’re Looking For

We’re especially interested in candidates with demonstrated hands-on PCB soldering and rework experience.

• 5+ years of electronics manufacturing, PCBA soldering, or related technical assembly experience preferred.

• Strong hands-on experience soldering printed circuit boards and electronic components.

• Experience with fine-pitch soldering, through-hole components, or board-level rework.

• Ability to recognize acceptable and unacceptable solder joints.

• Working knowledge of IPC-A-610 and/or J-STD-001 workmanship standards.

• Ability to read and interpret assembly drawings, work instructions, BOMs, and manufacturing specifications.

• Experience using soldering equipment, microscopes, and precision hand tools.

• Excellent hand-eye coordination, manual dexterity, and attention to detail.

• Ability to work independently on complex assemblies with minimal supervision.

• Strong problem-solving and communication skills.

• High school diploma or GED; technical or electronics training is a plus.

Experience That Will Make You Stand Out

We’d love to hear from candidates with experience in:

• IPC J-STD-001 soldering standards

• IPC-A-610 electronic assembly workmanship standards

• Fine-pitch soldering and SMT component rework

• Through-hole and mixed-technology PCB assemblies

• Component removal and replacement

• PCB troubleshooting, repair, and solder touch-up

• Microscope-assisted precision soldering

• Complex or high-reliability electronic assemblies

• Contract electronics manufacturing

• Prototype and new-product builds

• Medical device, aerospace, defense, or industrial electronics manufacturing

Current IPC certification is a plus, but experienced soldering professionals with strong practical knowledge are encouraged to apply.
