PFC Flexible Circuits Limited, a division of OSI Electronics, is seeking an SMT Operator who will operate, set up, and monitor SMT equipment to assemble flexible printed circuits (FPC) and rigid-flex assemblies per controlled work instructions, travelers, and quality requirements. This includes automated and semi-automated stencil printers, pick-and-place equipment, reflow ovens, solder paste inspection processes, AOI units, and X-Ray equipment.

This individual will support day shift operations (7:30am - 4:00pm).

Responsibilities

• Operate pick-and-place units (e.g., Panasonic AM, BM, and NPM/NPG as applicable) by loading and verifying programs, validating pick and placement, responding to alarms, and maintaining throughput and placement quality.
• Set up and operate SMT stencil printers by installing and verifying stencil type and thickness, aligning to fiducials, setting print parameters (squeegee pressure/speed and separation/snap-off), and completing first-print approvals.
• Set up feeders and materials by staging and verifying components to the BOM and traveler, loading feeders/tape-and-reel, verifying polarity/orientation, performing required feeder checks, and maintaining feeder and lot traceability.
• Operate AOI and X-Ray inspection equipment as needed by executing programs, verifying coverage, dispositioning findings per criteria, and coordinating defect review and rework routing with Quality/Engineering.
• Manage solder paste and print quality by differentiating and properly handling water-soluble versus no-clean pastes, verifying lot/expiration and storage/conditioning, performing paste print inspection (e.g., coverage, bridging, smearing, and insufficient paste), and correcting out-of-control conditions.
• Perform cleaning and basic upkeep by completing stencil underside wipes/cleaning, printer checks, and line/tooling cleaning using approved chemicals and disposal methods.
• Troubleshoot SMT line issues by clearing stoppages/alarms, performing basic checks and adjustments within training, documenting downtime, and escalating to Maintenance/Engineering as needed.
• Set up and operate Heller reflow ovens by selecting and verifying recipes, confirming conveyor width/speed and zone temperatures, monitoring output, identifying reflow defects (e.g., insufficient wetting, solder balling, tombstoning, and voiding indicators), and escalating issues as needed.
• Uphold the company’s core values of Integrity, Innovation, Accountability, and Teamwork.
• Demonstrate behavior consistent with the company’s Code of Ethics and Conduct.
• It is the responsibility of every employee to report to their manager or a member of senior management any quality problems or defects in order for corrective action to be implemented and to avoid recurrence of the problem.
• Duties may be modified or assigned at any time to meet the needs of the business.
