Job Summary
Conduct physical integration and precision hand-soldering of high-reliability spaceflight hardware, including installing structural frames onto PCBs, building electronics boxes, and fabricating wire harnesses. Perform component preparation, chassis integration, and mechanical box build assembly while working under a stereo microscope. Utilize voltmeters, scales, and automated/manual soldering equipment to translate blueprints into mechanical assemblies per engineering drawings. Inspect work at various stages to ensure compliance with IPC standards, tolerances, and safety protocols, creating non-conforming material reviews as needed. Collaborate with experienced technicians and follow written instructions from process and manufacturing engineers.
