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.
