SMT), Plated Through Hole (PTH), and mixed technology (such as SMT and PTH)

printed wiring assemblies and related technologies using computer aided and manually

operated machinery. Perform equipment set-up, operation, and product and process

verification.

Manufacturing Process Standards (MPS), blueprints, change notices, engineering notes

or verbal direction, perform the following duties to produce fully acceptable SMT, PTH

and mixed technology hardware :

Form components using manual and automated tools. Set-up, operate, and maintain

the automated component tinning machine.

Ensure the segregation and accurate inventory of various customers' SMT and mixed

technology components utilizing local kit carousel or locked inventory storage.

Electronically record component usage data per engineering direction using bar code

technology or manual recording.

Test solder paste for acceptability. Operate both automated and manual screen printing

equipment.

Operate automated adhesive application equipment. Manually apply adhesive as

required. Mix and degas multi-component materials prior to application.

Set-up machinery for automated ("pick and place") and manual placement. Ensure that

components are correctly loaded in automated feeders or carousels. Initialize

equipment, verifying satisfactory process operation before beginning production runs.

Set-up and operate continuous or batch hot nitrogen reflow ovens for solder paste

reflow and adhesive curing.

Utilize automated or manual cleaning equipment which operates with either a solvent or

aqueous system. Ensure that cleaned product meets standards required for further

processing.

forming) and installation using available tools. Verify correct component polarity and

installation per engineering instruction and referenced specifications. Ensure

component integrity during PTH component installation on mixed technology boards.

Operate wave solder machine for PTH component soldering . Rework PTH components

as required, providing protection from possible board damage (heat or physical

component damage) during desoldering, removal, replacement and hand soldering

operations.

Verify process results and resultant hardware quality. Record, plot and evaluate

Statistical Process Control data to ensure maintenance of optimum, controlled SMT and

PTH or related processes. Identify undesirable trends / concerns to methods engineering
