  • High school diploma or equivalent.
  • Strong circuit card assembly and rework experience with sensitive and fine pitched SMT components, such as 0402 passive components, LGA and BGA components. 
  • Strong ability to perform intricate hand rework of circuit board assemblies using fine-pitched wire and creative orientations of small electronics components. 
  • Experience designing and building wire harnesses.
  • Experience with engineering laboratory management, including test bench development, leading compliance training, owning equipment calibration, procurement and bring up, and managing consumables and laboratory supplies. 
  • Excellent written and spoken communication.
