  • 2–5 years of PCB assembly or electronics manufacturing experience, including hands-on SMT line work.
  • Proficiency with stencil printers, pick-and-place machines, reflow ovens, AOI/testing, and selective soldering equipment required.
  • ERP system experience required.
  • Strong troubleshooting skills for process and equipment issues.
