What is an AOI Engineer job?

An AOI (Automated Optical Inspection) Engineer is responsible for developing, optimizing, and maintaining automated inspection systems used in manufacturing, primarily in electronics and PCB assembly. They ensure defects such as misaligned components, soldering issues, and other quality concerns are detected efficiently. AOI Engineers work with hardware and software to improve inspection accuracy, troubleshoot equipment, and collaborate with manufacturing teams to improve overall quality control.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive in the Aoi Engineer position, and why are they important?

To succeed as an AOI (Automated Optical Inspection) Engineer, you typically need a background in electrical engineering or a related field, with strong analytical and problem-solving skills. Familiarity with AOI systems, image processing software, and machine vision technologies, as well as IPC-A-610 certification, is often required. Attention to detail, effective communication, and the ability to work collaboratively with cross-functional teams are valuable soft skills. These capabilities are crucial for ensuring product quality, swiftly identifying defects, and maintaining efficient manufacturing processes.

What are the typical responsibilities of an AOI Engineer within a manufacturing environment?

As an AOI Engineer, you will be responsible for programming, operating, and maintaining automated optical inspection equipment to detect defects in printed circuit boards (PCBs) and other electronic assemblies. Your daily tasks may include analyzing inspection results, optimizing detection parameters, collaborating with process engineers and production staff, and troubleshooting technical issues to minimize false positives and negatives. You will also prepare reports on inspection findings, contribute to continuous improvement initiatives, and support quality control teams. Working in this role involves both hands-on equipment work and cross-departmental collaboration, providing a dynamic and rewarding environment for those passionate about quality assurance.

Job description


We are seeking a meticulous and quality-driven AOI Operator to join our Printed Circuit Board Assembly (PCBA) team. As an AOI Operator, you serve as a critical checkpoint in our manufacturing process, responsible for operating Automated Optical Inspection equipment to verify the placement and solder quality of electronic components. The ideal candidate possesses a sharp eye for detail, a strong understanding of IPC-A-610 standards, and the ability to distinguish between machine false calls and genuine manufacturing defects.
Culture
Our staffing professionals are committed to meeting your individual needs and exceeding your expectations. Experienced top-quality candidates are the result of our extensive screening process, in-depth evaluations, industry-specific testing, and reference checking.
Responsibilities
Second shift hours 3 pm - 11:30 pm M-F
Key Responsibilities
  • Machine Operation: Setup, load, and operate Automated Optical Inspection (AOI) machines safely and efficiently to inspect populated circuit boards after the SMT reflow process.
  • Defect Analysis & Verification: Review machine-flagged anomalies on the monitor to determine if they are true defects (e.g., missing components, tombstoning, solder bridges, insufficient solder, incorrect polarity) or false calls.
  • Quality Routing: Accurately mark, route, and document defective boards for the rework/hand-soldering team, providing clear descriptions of the specific defects found.
  • Process Feedback: Communicate true defect trends in real-time to the SMT Line Operators and Process Engineers to help correct upstream manufacturing issues and reduce scrap.
  • Program Optimization: Assist engineers or programmers in fine-tuning AOI machine parameters (lighting, tolerances, and component libraries) to reduce the false-call rate.
  • Documentation & Traceability: Maintain accurate digital and physical records of inspection results, pass/fail yields, and specific lot traceabilities in the ERP/MRP system in compliance with AS9100D and ISO 13485 standards.
  • Equipment Maintenance: Perform basic daily and weekly preventative maintenance on the AOI equipment, such as cleaning lenses and sensors, to ensure optimal machine performance.
Qualifications & Skills
  • Experience: 1–3 years of experience in electronics manufacturing, specifically in quality inspection, AOI operation, or SMT production.
  • Standards Proficiency: Current or previous certification in IPC-A-610 (Acceptability of Electronic Assemblies) is highly preferred. Must understand what constitutes an acceptable vs. defective solder joint.
  • Component Recognition: Strong ability to identify various surface mount and through-hole electronic components, read component values, and understand polarity marks.
  • Attention to Detail: Exceptional visual acuity and the ability to maintain focus while reviewing highly repetitive, detailed images for extended periods.
  • Communication: Clear verbal and written communication skills to effectively relay quality data to the SMT and engineering teams.
Physical Requirements
  • Excellent close vision, depth perception, and the ability to accurately differentiate colors (crucial for inspecting solder reflections and component markings).
  • Ability to sit or stand for extended periods while monitoring computer screens and handling delicate PCBAs.
  • Manual dexterity to safely load, unload, and handle sensitive electronic assemblies without causing ESD (Electrostatic Discharge) damage.
  • Ability to occasionally lift and move up to 15–20 lbs (e.g., stacks of completed boards or magazines).

Requirements
Ability to work overtime when required.
Authorized to work in the US without sponsorship
Accept a background check to be performed
Accept a drug test to be performed
Knowledge in: Hand Soldering
Knowledge in: PCBA Defect Analysis
Knowledge in: Component Recognition
Knowledge in: IPC-610
Knowledge in: Automated Optical Inspection
Knowledge in: Defect Analysis
Equal Opportunity Employer
