Micro Soldering Jobs (NOW HIRING)

ABOUT THE ROLE

Reporting to the Facility/Associate Manager, Repair Center Operations, the Hashboard Repair Technician II is a senior bench technician role responsible for diagnosing, repairing, and reworking hashboards used in bitcoin mining hardware, while also mentoring and providing technical leadership to Technician I staff. Working in a shop environment, this role receives hashboards and related components flagged for failure from Data Center Technicians and field operations, and serves as a go-to technical resource and trainer for the wider repair team. 

The Hashboard Repair Technician II must be able to diagnose problems on malfunctioning hashboards down to the component level, perform micro-soldering and component-level rework, and determine whether a board can be repaired or must be scrapped, often on the most complex or escalated failures. This job entails extensive hands-on bench work, strong critical thinking to isolate root cause across complex circuit boards, and clear communication with co-workers, junior technicians, and leadership regarding failure trends, training needs, and repair outcomes. 

Some of the key responsibilities you should expect are the following:

• Trains, mentors, and provides technical guidance to Hashboard Repair Technician I staff, including hands-on coaching in micro-soldering, diagnostics, and component-level repair technique.
• Leads by example on the bench, taking ownership of the most complex, escalated, or ambiguous repair cases and coaching junior technicians through similar cases as they arise.
• Reviews the work of junior technicians for quality and completeness, and provides constructive feedback to raise the skill level of the team.
• Helps develop and refine training materials, repair standards, and workflow procedures for the repair center, and supports onboarding of new technicians. 
• Collaborates with the Manager, Repair Center Operations to optimize bench workflows, prioritize repair queues, and implement best practices across the team. 
• Diagnoses, tests, and repairs hashboards, including chip-level, component-level, and trace-level failures, using critical thinking to isolate root cause rather than relying on board replacement alone. 
• Performs micro-soldering and desoldering of BGA chips, hash chips, capacitors, resistors, inductors, and other small SMD components on hashboards. 
• Diagnoses and repairs power supply units (PSUs) and control boards (CBs), including component-level troubleshooting and rework - strongly preferred skill set. 
• Performs troubleshooting to the component level, utilizing schematics, assembly prints, mechanical part drawings, and electronic test equipment such as DMMs, oscilloscopes, function generators, power supplies, thermal cameras, and hashboard test benches. 
• Tests and adjusts repaired hashboards, PSUs, and CBs to confirm they meet performance and hashrate specifications before return to service. 
• Documents and communicates failure analysis results; maintains accurate repair records and failure-mode data to support continuous improvement. 
• Performs minor repairs and maintenance of production and test equipment. 
• Maintains accurate records and manages diagrams, manuals, schematics, and blueprints. 
• Follows site established housekeeping rules within the workshop area. 
• Behaves in a manner that ensures the safety of themselves, their team members, and others on the work sites. 
• Refuses all unsafe work and immediately reports all unsafe conditions and behaviors to their manager. 
• Reports incidents, injuries, and near misses and participates in the investigative process. 
• Assists other teammates when required. 
• Attends and participates in xEHS and safety committee meetings as scheduled. 
• Adheres to company policies, procedures, and directions regarding standards of workplace behavior in completing job duties and assignments. 
• Complies with the standards and procedures of Occupational Health and Safety regulations. 

ABOUT YOU

Education and Experience 

• Technical or vocational diploma in electronics, electrical engineering technology, or equivalent experience required.
• Minimum 3-5 years' experience related to hashboard repair, electronics repair, or a similar bench repair field, including demonstrated progression beyond entry-level (Technician I) work.
• Prior experience training, mentoring, or supporting the development of junior technicians strongly preferred.
• Experience with embedded systems, ASIC-based mining hardware (e.g., Antminer, Whatsminer, or similar platforms), and IT certification is an asset.
• Demonstrated experience repairing PSUs and/or control boards is a significant asset. 

Knowledge, Skills, Abilities 

• Excellent tactile proficiency with small components, including advanced hands-on micro-soldering experience on densely populated boards, sufficient to train others.
• Must be able to perform soldering and mechanical assembly of a complex and critical nature that may require extensive knowledge of techniques, tools, materials, and standards.
• Strong critical thinking and diagnostic skills; able to isolate root cause across component, trace, and chip-level failures rather than defaulting to full-board replacement, and able to teach that diagnostic approach to others.
• Demonstrated ability to lead, coach, and develop team members; comfortable giving feedback and setting a strong technical example on the bench.
• Working knowledge of hashboard architecture, hash chip function, and mining hardware fundamentals.
• Ability to diagnose and repair PSU and control board failures is a strong asset.
• Motivated individual, fast learner, and capable of working independently and leading others.
• Ability to develop and encourage original, creative, and successful approaches to issues; continually improves repair processes.
• Ability to lift and move heavy materials up to 40lbs.
• Understands and follows verbal and written directions.
• Strong verbal and written communication skills.
• Strong work ethic with demonstrated dedication and reliability.
• Must be able to work as a member of a greater team.
• Ability to effectively interact with all levels of management, contractors, and employees.
• Any additional safety tickets such as Standard First Aid & CPR, or electrical safety training, will be considered an asset.
