Job description

Description

Job Summary

The AOI Operator is responsible for operating Automated Optical Inspection equipment to verify the quality of assembled printed circuit boards (PCBAs). The operator ensures defect detection, accurate inspection, and reporting to support high product quality and process efficiency. This role plays a critical part in identifying assembly defects before they move to the next manufacturing stage.

ACCOUNTABILITIES/ SCOPE

Interfaces:

· Quality Assurance Team – For reporting defects, rework verification, and quality feedback.

· Process / SMT Engineers – For providing inspection feedback and discussing false calls or systemic issues.

**People Managed: None

***Decisions:*

· Determine acceptance or rejection of inspected boards based on AOI results and IPC standards.

· Escalate inspection issues or equipment malfunction to appropriate personnel.

· Make judgment calls on false positives versus real defects within defined limits.

· Recommend adjustments to AOI programming to reduce false calls (with engineer support).

Impact of Error:

·High impact– Undetected defects can result in product failures, costly rework, missed deliveries, and customer dissatisfaction.

· Incorrect rejection increases workload and inspection bottlenecks.

· Data entry errors can distort defect trend analysis and lead to incorrect process conclusions.

**KEY RESPONSIBILITIES**

  • OperateAOI machines (2D/3D) to inspect PCBAs for soldering defects, componentmisplacements, polarity errors, and other visual defects.
  • Loadand unload PCB panels to/from AOI equipment safely and efficiently.
  • Reviewand verify inspection results, including differentiating between falsecalls and true defects.
  • Performfirst article inspection using AOI and manual visual inspection asrequired.
  • InterpretAOI inspection reports and categorize defects per IPC standards (e.g.,IPC-A-610).
  • Communicatenon-conformities to the appropriate teams (e.g., SMT technicians, QA,rework).
  • Documentand track inspection data and defect trends.
  • Assistin machine setup, maintenance checks, and basic troubleshooting of AOIsystems.
  • Supportcontinuous improvement initiatives in inspection and quality controlprocesses.
  • Ensurecompliance with safety procedures and ESD protocols.
Requirements

KNOWLEDGE/ SKILLS

· Understanding of PCB assembly processes, components, and soldering defects.

· Proficient in reading PCB layout diagrams, assembly drawings, and Bill of Materials (BOM).
