Sanmina Corporation has facilities strategically located in key regions throughout the world.

Job Purpose:

Performs specialized, high-precision electronics rework and micro-soldering repairs on complex Printed Circuit Board Assemblies (PCBAs). Operates split-vision optical alignment rework stations and automated X-ray inspection equipment to remove, replace, and reflow Ball Grid Array (BGA) and fine-pitch SMT components. Determines proper thermal profiles, prepares circuit board sites, and executes trace repairs under high magnification in strict compliance with IPC-A-610 and IPC-7711/7721 standards.

Nature of Duties/Responsibilities:

• Precision Rework:Operate specialized hot-air or infrared BGA rework stations to safely de-solder, align, and reflow complex BGA, micro-BGA, QFN, and fine-pitch SMT components.
• Site Preparation & Reballing:Manually clean residual solder from PCB pads using specialized soldering irons, micro-wicks, and flux. Perform BGA component reballing utilizing alignment stencils and paste.
• Circuit Board Repair:Execute micro-soldering repairs on damaged, lifted, or torn circuit board pads, traces, and mask layers under a high-magnification microscope.
• Quality Inspection:Set up, run, and interpret Automated X-ray Inspection (AXI) imagery to identify subsurface defects including solder bridging, voids, opens, and misalignment.
• Process Calibration:Program, select, and modify thermal profiles (preheat, soak, reflow, cool) specific to board thickness, component mass, and lead-free (RoHS) or leaded alloy requirements.
• Compliance:Ensure all rework strictly conforms to IPC-A-610 and IPC-7711/7721 Class 2 and Class 3 manufacturing requirements.
• Data Logging:Accurately document all repair actions, failure modes, and component traceability details into the Manufacturing Execution System (MES) software.

education and experience:

• Experience:Minimum of 2-4 years of hands-on experience in electronics manufacturing focusing specifically on SMT repair and BGA rework. With at least 1 year of direct experience operatingAir-Vac DRS seriesor similar high-end split-vision rework machinery.
• Technical Certifications:Current or prior certification inIPC-A-610andIPC-7711/7721is highly preferred.
• Equipment Knowledge:Proficiency with split-vision rework systems (e.g., Manncorp, SRT, VJE, Air-Vac) and X-ray inspection machinery.
• Dexterity:Exceptional hand-eye coordination, steady hand control, and the ability to work under a microscope for extended periods.
• Schematic Literacy:Ability to read and accurately interpret electronic schematics, fabrication blueprints, bills of materials (BOM), and assembly documentation.

Work Environment & Physical Demands

• ESD Control:Must strictly follow all Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) protective protocols (wrist straps, heel grounders, static-safe smocks).
• Physical Ability:Able to sit or stand for long durations and lift up to 25 pounds occasionally.
• Safety:Safe handling of chemicals, fluxes, and solvents under proper fume extraction hoods.
