Senior Electronics Quality Engineer

Role Overview

Apply deep electronics quality expertise to help train next-generation AI systems using real-world assembly, inspection, and failure-analysis knowledge. This remote contract role supports an advanced electronics assembly and inspection project, with no prior AI experience required.

Key Responsibilities

• Review PCB CAM and Gerber files for manufacturability, quality, and compliance with industry standards.
• Conduct IPC-A-610 and IPC/WHMA-A-620 visual inspections and provide detailed feedback on PCB assembly and wire harness builds.
• Analyze and document SMT and AOI defect types, including identifying and performing root-cause analysis for AOI false calls.
• Screen for counterfeit electronic parts in alignment with AS6081 and provide actionable risk-mitigation insights.
• Perform and interpret semiconductor package inspections using C-SAM and X-ray imaging, including die inspection and MIL-STD-883 compliance checks.
• Prepare clear written reports and communicate findings to technical and non-technical stakeholders.
• Work with project leads to improve workflows and strengthen AI training datasets.

Qualifications

• 8+ years of hands-on experience in electronics quality, CAM engineering, or failure analysis within PCB assembly, wire harness, or semiconductor packaging.
• Extensive knowledge of IPC-A-610 and IPC/WHMA-A-620 inspection criteria. IPC CIS or CIT certification is strongly preferred.
• Experience reviewing Gerber data and using PCB CAM software for manufacturability and quality assurance.
• Proficiency with SMT processes, AOI defect analysis, and remediation of automated-inspection false calls.
• Direct experience screening counterfeit components under AS6081, including risk indicators and mitigation approaches.
• Hands-on experience with C-SAM and X-ray semiconductor inspection tools, plus familiarity with MIL-STD-883 procedures.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills for documentation and knowledge transfer.

Work Terms

• Remote contract engagement.
• US-based candidates are preferred.

Compensation

• $60 per hour.
