PCB Rework & Fine‑Pitch Solder Specialist
Focus: Gullwing & fine‑pitch soldering in a high‑tech manufacturing environment
A day in the life
You arrive to a clean, well‑organized production floor in Roseville, CA and pick up a board tagged for rework. After scanning the work order, you study the schematic, trace a suspect signal path, and validate your hypothesis on the oscilloscope. With a steady hand, you rework a fine‑pitch gullwing package, then verify your repair using multimeters, signal generators, and analyzers. You record your findings, collaborate with production and quality on root cause, and keep throughput moving while raising the reliability bar—board by board.
