Quality Technician Incoming Inspection (Day Shift)

Perform incoming inspection of bare PCBs, PCBAs, electronic components, cable assemblies, mechanical components, fabricated parts, and electromechanical assemblies against approved drawings, specifications, purchase requirements, and inspection plans. Inspect PCBA workmanship to the applicable product acceptance class, including solder joints, component presence and placement, orientation and polarity, lead condition, board condition, cleanliness, markings, hardware, conformal coating, and approved rework or repair when applicable. Inspect bare PCBs for fabrication, dimensional, marking, cleanliness, and workmanship defects using applicable drawings, specifications, and acceptance criteria. Perform routine mechanical inspection using GD&T concepts, drawing dimensions, tolerances, datums, and commonly used feature control frames; partner with Quality or Engineering when advanced interpretation is required. Use mechanical and optical inspection equipment such as calipers, micrometers, height and depth gauges, indicators, surface plates, pin, plug, thread, and ring gauges, optical comparators, digital microscopes, and OGP or other vision measurement systems. Verify supplier documentation and product configuration, including part number and revision, bill of material alignment, approved manufacturer or supplier, serial, lot, and date codes, quantity, certifications of conformance, material and special-process certifications, test reports, first article records, and traceability. Verify incoming packaging, labeling, shelf-life, ESD, moisture-sensitive device (MSD), foreign object debris (FOD), and handling

before material acceptance. Execute digital inspection plans, sampling requirements, and receiving workflows; maintain complete, accurate, and traceable inspection records in applicable quality, ERP, MES, or PLM systems. Identify, document, segregate, and control nonconforming material; initiate or support NCR, MRB, containment, supplier corrective action, root cause, and corrective action activities. Communicate supplier quality concerns and inspection risks promptly, providing clear defect descriptions, photographs, measurement results, and other objective evidence. Ensure inspection tools and equipment are used within calibration

and support evaluation of inspection methods, fixtures, and measurement capability. Provide technical guidance and mentoring to less experienced technicians on PCBA, documentation, mechanical inspection, and nonconformance practices. REQUIRED SKILLS / EXPERIENCE High school diploma or equivalent. Five or more years of relevant quality inspection experience in aerospace, defense, electronics manufacturing, an electronics manufacturing services (EMS) environment, or a similar high-technology industry. Demonstrated experience performing incoming or receiving inspection and making independent material acceptance decisions. Extensive hands-on experience inspecting PCBs and PCBAs and identifying common soldering, component, board, cleanliness, coating, rework, and handling defects. Working knowledge of IPC-A-610 or equivalent electronic assembly acceptance criteria and the ability to apply the product-defined acceptance class consistently. Ability to read and interpret engineering drawings, assembly drawings, bills of material, specifications, purchase requirements, work instructions, revision documentation, and supplier quality records. Basic working knowledge of geometric dimensioning and tolerancing (GD&T), including datums, dimensions and tolerances, and common symbols used for routine inspection characteristics. Hands-on proficiency with common mechanical and optical inspection tools, including calipers, micrometers, gauges, indicators, digital micros
