Electrical Rework Technician (PCBA & Micro-Soldering)

About This Role

This role involves precision electrical rework and micro-soldering on complex PCBAs for humanoid robot hardware. The technician will support engineering debug, maintain high-quality workmanship, and ensure rapid iteration during hardware development.

Responsibilities

• Perform precision soldering and rework on complex PCBAs to high workmanship standards
• Execute advanced micro-soldering tasks, including fine-pitch SMD components, high pin-count connectors, QFN, LGA, and BGA rework
• Diagnose and repair damaged pads, traces, vias, and connectors
• Support engineering debug by implementing board modifications, ECOs, and bodge rework
• Work from schematics, board layouts, and engineering guidance to execute accurate rework
• Document rework actions, common failure modes, and lessons learned
• Help define, improve, and standardize rework procedures and workmanship guidelines
• Train and support technicians and engineers on soldering best practices
• Maintain soldering tools, microscopes, rework stations, and consumables
• Collaborate closely with Electrical Engineering, Hardware Integration, and Manufacturing teams

Requirements

• 5+ years of professional experience in electronics soldering and PCBA rework
• Extensive hands-on experience with fine-pitch and high-density PCBAs
• Proven expertise in micro-soldering under microscope
• Strong understanding of PCB construction, component packages, and thermal behavior
• Ability to consistently produce clean, reliable, and inspectable rework
• High attention to detail and pride in workmanship
• Comfortable working independently on high-value, time-critical hardware

Qualifications

• 5+ years of professional experience in electronics soldering and PCBA rework

Nice to Have

• IPC certification or equivalent professional training
• Experience supporting R&D, robotics, or high-reliability electronics programs
• Ability to read schematics and board layouts to support debug and rework decisions
• Experience feeding rework learnings back into design-for-manufacturing improvements
• Familiarity with early production or EVT/DVT hardware environments
