We are seeking an SMT Operator with hands-on experience operating Surface-Mount Technology equipment in an electronics manufacturing environment.

This position requires actual SMT machine-operation experience rather than general electronics assembly experience.

Responsibilities

• Set up and operate automated SMT assembly equipment
• Operate screen printers, pick-and-place equipment, and reflow ovens
• Perform machine setup, teardown, and cleanup according to procedures
• Identify electronic component packages and values
• Load and exchange feeders and components
• Maintain required setup, feeder, and first-article records
• Perform visual inspection of SMT assemblies
• Monitor machine operation and identify equipment or process errors
• Communicate machine issues to SMT support personnel and production supervision
• Maintain a clean and orderly work area
• Work with production and quality personnel on process and performance improvements

Qualifications

• Previous hands-on SMT machine operating experience
• Minimum 1 year of electronics manufacturing experience
• Familiarity with Surface-Mount Technology processes
• Knowledge of electronic components
• Experience working with automated electronics manufacturing equipment
• High school diploma or equivalent
• Ability to work effectively in a fast-paced manufacturing environment

Training may be provided on Novatronix-specific equipment and procedures, but candidates should already have practical SMT machine-operation experience.

Benefits

• Paid time off
• Annual year-end bonus
