• Job Title
  
  

Sr. Technician

Role Overview

Handson production technician responsible for highreliability electronics assembly on Aitech rugged products and boards. The role covers precision soldering, pressfit connector installation, conformal coating & masking, potting, and mechanical assembly under Class3 workmanship and aerospace quality requirements (IPCA610 / JSTD001; ESD discipline; FOD control).

Qualification

• Diploma in Electronics/Electrical or Mechatronics.
• Ability to read assembly drawings, schematics, BoMs, and work instructions (WI/SOPs); familiar with route cards and production travellers.
• Basic computer use for ERP/MIS data entry; exposure to SAP/ERP preferred.
• Strong discipline in ESD and safety practices; comfortable with microscopes, fixtures, presses, ovens, curing equipment, torque tools, and measurement instruments.
• At least 7-8 years direct experience in soldering, conformal coating & Assembly.
  
  

Skills/Experience:

• Soldering (throughhole & finepitch SMT rework) to IPCA610 Class3 workmanship and JSTD001 process controls; enforce FOD controls in all operations. IPC-7711/21 certified will be preferred.
• Pressfit connector installation using qualified press, bottom & flat top tools, alignment checks, and postpress inspection; maintain tool validation and apply Xray verification where required; update route card after each operation.
• Conformal coating execution, including masking of keepout zones and defect prevention; ability to work with QA on SCAR/CAR closures when needed.
• Masking proficiency (tapes, boots, liquid masks) with clean edges, proper cure, and removal techniques to avoid residue/undermask defects.
• Potting & encapsulation: resin prep, degassing, controlled dispense, cure profiles, and voidfree results per WI/SOP; adherence to JSTD001 cleaning requirements.
• Mechanical assembly of boards/enclosures (fasteners, torque, thermal interfaces, staking) per conductioncooled enclosures
• Inprocess & final inspection: visual criteria, continuity/shorts checks, dimensional verification, and documentation signoffs per QA instructions.
• ESD discipline, cleanroom/controlled environment behaviour, and recordkeeping (lot/serial traceability, traveller signatures, tool calibration records).
• Proven experience as team player within a multi-site environment
• Understanding of safety and equipment procedures.
• Extensive knowledge of aerospace materials, components, and equipment, including their handling, storage, and transportation requirements.
• Proficiency in production related activities SAP/ERP systems, and data analytics tools.
• Manufacturing Process: Understanding of Manufacturing Processes, Manufacturing Time Study, Process Optimization.
• Reporting: Compiling management reports on overall plant performance, and preparing MIS reports
• Quality control: Awareness of ISO:9001-2015 – Mandatory, AS9100D - Nice to have.
• Good communication and interpersonal skills, with the ability to effectively communicate with stakeholders at all levels.
  
  

Desired Skills:

• AS9100D awareness; ISO 9001:2015 quality mindset.
• Experience with thermal pads/Paste, CTQs, and following customer assembly drawings (top/bottom, conformal coating maps).
• Exposure to environmental testing (vibration, shock, TVAC, humidity) and ATE handling/debugging.
• Familiarity with mechanical metrology, torque/angle tools, and fixture setup for precision pressfit operations.
• Time management skills to handle multiple projects, prioritize tasks, and meet tight deadlines.
  
  

Roles and Responsibilities:

• Execute production tasks (soldering, pressfit, coating/masking, potting, mechanical assembly) strictly per Aitech WI/SOPs and customer drawings; comply with IPCA610 Class3 and JSTD001 requirements.
• Pressfit operations: Verify tooling alignment, apply controlled force, perform postpress inspection/Xray as specified, and record route card updates for each step.
• Conformal coating & masking: Ensure accurate masking of keepout areas, defectfree application, and participate in SCAR/CAR investigations with QA when defects are detected.
• Potting/encapsulation: Prepare materials, control mix ratios/cure, conduct postcure cleanliness to meet JSTD001 acceptance; document batch/lot details.
• Mechanical assembly: Install hardware and thermal interfaces, apply specified torque, and verify fit/form/function; complete final inspection records.
• ESD & FOD control: Maintain compliance with SOW requirements for FOD prevention, cleaning, and postprocess residue checks—no ultrasonic cleaning; meet specified cleanliness limits.
• Quality documentation & traceability: Ensure traveller/route card completeness, calibration stickers are current, and firstoff/inprocess/final inspections are signed by QC.
• Crossfunctional collaboration: work with QA, PPC, and Manufacturing to resolve production issues, support continuous improvement, and contribute to MIS/ERP updates as required.
• Training & compliance: maintain skill certification (e.g., IPCA610 CIS/CIT where applicable) and participate in periodic specialprocess validations (pins pressing, isolation removal, sleeving).
