We are looking for an experienced Quality Assurance/Control for tiny circuit boards.
Your primary mission will be to ensure that every circuit board, wire harness, and finished "build box" leaves the facility completely defect-free and compliant with the industry standards.
...
This company is ISO 9001:2015 certified facility serving high-stakes industries like aerospace and medical devices, a QA role here is meticulous and relies heavily on both visual precision and technical testing.
Background check and Drug screening including THC REQUIRED
Responsibilities:
Soldering Defects: Checking for bridges (accidental connections between points), cold solder joints (cracked or weak connections), or missing solder.
Component Placement: Ensuring resistors, capacitors, and microchips are placed in the correct orientation, are right-side up, and aren't misaligned or "tombstoning" (standing up on one end).
IPC-A-610 Compliance: This is the global standard for electronic assembly acceptability. You would use these specific guidelines daily to grade the quality of the boards.
AOI (Automated Optical Inspection): Programming or running machines that take high-speed, top-down photos of PCBs and use software to instantly flag missing or misplaced components.
Working hours: 6:30 AM - 3:00 PM
Skills:
IPC-A-610 Certification: This is the gold standard for the acceptability of electronic assemblies. Being certified (or having deep familiarity with it) shows an understanding of what makes a solder joint or component placement "acceptable," "process indicator," or a "defect."
J-STD-001 / IPC-WHMA-A-620: Familiarity with these standards means knowing the requirements for soldered electrical assemblies and cable/wire harness assemblies.
Microscope & Small-Piece Experience: Can you sit at a workstation and comfortably inspect incredibly tiny, surface-mount components (SMT) under a microscope or magnifying lamp for hours without losing focus?
Blueprints and Schematics: The ability to read engineering drawings, circuit schematics, and Bill of Materials (BOM) lists to verify that the physical board in front of you matches exactly what the client engineered.
Soldering Knowledge: Even if you aren't the one building the boards, having hands-on soldering experience helps enormously. If you know how to solder, you are much faster at diagnosing bad solder joints (like cold joints, bridging, or insufficient wetting).
ISO 9001 Knowledge: Because Linear is an ISO 9001:2015 certified shop, understanding how standard operating procedures (SOPs) and quality management systems work is highly preferred.
Qualifications:
Component Identification: You must be able to distinguish between basic electronic components (resistors, capacitors, diodes, integrated circuits) and understand polarity (knowing which way a component must face to function).
Computer Literacy: You must know how to navigate basic database systems to log defects, look up digital blueprints, and enter quality data.
Strong Visual Acuity: Excellent close-up vision (either naturally or with corrective lenses) is mandatory. You will be staring through microscopes, magnifying glass lamps, and ring lights for the majority of an 8-hour shift.
Fine Motor Skills & Hand-Eye Coordination: You must be able to handle incredibly fragile, microscopic components with tweezers and precision tools without dropping or damaging them.
