Soldering Technician

Overview

The Soldering Technician is responsible for performing precision soldering on electronic components, wires, connectors, and printed circuit boards (PCBs). This role requires strong hands-on skills, attention to detail, and the ability to work with both surface-mount (SMD) and through-hole technologies in accordance with industry standards such as IPC-A-610 and J-STD-001.

Key Responsibilities

Wire & Connector Soldering

• Strip, tin, and solder wires of various gauges to connectors, terminals, and assemblies.
• Build and repair cable harnesses using crimping, soldering, and heat-shrink techniques.
• Inspect wire terminations for proper wetting, fillet formation, and mechanical integrity.
• Follow wiring diagrams, schematics, and work instructions accurately.

PCB Soldering (SMD & Through-Hole)

• Perform hand soldering of SMD components (0402 and larger) using rework stations, hot air, and fine-tip irons.
• Solder through-hole components onto PCBs, ensuring proper lead formation and solder flow.
• Rework and repair PCB assemblies, including component removal, replacement, and trace repair.
• Use microscopes and magnification tools to ensure solder quality and precision.

Inspection & Quality Control

• Inspect solder joints per IPC standards for workmanship and reliability.
• Identify and correct defects such as cold joints, bridges, and lifted pads.
• Document work performed and complete production travelers or quality forms.

Tools & Equipment Use

• Operate soldering irons, hot-air stations, tweezers, microscopes, crimp tools, and multimeters.
• Maintain soldering equipment, tip condition, and ESD-safe work areas.

General Duties

• Read and interpret assembly drawings, schematics, and technical documents.
• Work in a fast-paced production environment while maintaining quality.
• Collaborate with engineering and quality teams on assembly or rework issues.
• Follow safety, ESD, and cleanliness protocols at all times.

Qualifications

• Proven experience in hand soldering of wires, connectors, and PCB components.
• Familiarity with IPC-A-610 and/or J-STD-001 (certification is a plus but not required).
• Ability to read schematics, wiring diagrams, and assembly instructions.
• Strong manual dexterity, steady hand, and attention to detail.
• Experience with SMD rework, hot-air systems, and precision soldering tools is preferred.
