Remove and replace components following correct ESD and thermal handling procedures.
Carry out rework based on engineering change notices (ECNs), defect reports, or customer returns (RMA).
2. Inspection and Quality Assurance
Visually inspect assemblies to IPC-A-610 and IPC-7711/7721 standards.
Verify rework results using microscopes, magnifiers, and test equipment.
Record and report defects, repair actions, and results accurately in production documentation or quality systems.
3. Technical Support
Work closely with Quality, Engineering, and Production teams to identify root causes of defects.
Provide feedback on recurring issues to support process improvement and yield enhancement.
