Our OSI Electronics (OSIE) division is a diversified manufacturer of electronic devices and value-added manufacturing services. We provide our customers with the manufacturing capabilities and purchasing power of a global Electronics Manufacturing Services provider. By delivering regional and personalized support best provided by a smaller company, we strive to build lasting relationships and create close and valued partnerships with our customers. Our singular focus is to help security experts, clinical professionals and high-tech developers solve real-world problems and issues. PFC Flexible Circuits Limited, a division of OSI Electronics, is seeking an SMT Operator who will operate, set up, and monitor SMT equipment to assemble flexible printed circuits (FPC) and rigid-flex assemblies per controlled work instructions, travelers, and quality requirements. This includes automated and semi-automated stencil printers, pick-and-place equipment, reflow ovens, solder paste inspection processes, AOI units, and X-Ray equipment. This individual will support day shift operations (7:30am - 4:00pm). Responsibilities Operate pick-and-place units (e.g., Panasonic AM, BM, and NPM/NPG as applicable) by loading and verifying programs, validating pick and placement, responding to alarms, and maintaining throughput and placement quality. Set up and operate SMT stencil printers by installing and verifying stencil type and thickness, aligning to fiducials, setting print parameters (squeegee pressure/speed and separation/snap-off), and completing first-print approvals. Set up feeders and materials by staging and verifying components to the BOM and traveler, loading feeders/tape-and-reel, verifying polarity/orientation, performing required feeder checks, and maintaining feeder and lot traceability. Operate AOI and X-Ray inspection equipment as needed by executing programs, verifying coverage, dispositioning findings per criteria, and coordinating defect review and rework routing with Quality/Engineering. Manage solder paste and print quality by differentiating and properly handling water-soluble versus no-clean pastes, verifying lot/expiration and storage/conditioning, performing paste print inspection (e.g., coverage, bridging, smearing, and insufficient paste), and correcting out-of-control conditions. Perform cleaning and basic upkeep by completing stencil underside wipes/cleaning, printer checks, and line/tooling cleaning using approved chemicals and disposal methods. Troubleshoot SMT line issues by clearing stoppages/alarms, performing basic checks and adjustments within training, documenting downtime, and escalating to Maintenance/Engineering as needed. Set up and operate Heller reflow ovens by selecting and verifying recipes, confirming conveyor width/speed and zone temperatures, monitoring output, identifying reflow defects (e.g., insufficient wetting, solder balling, tombstoning, and voiding indicators), and escalating issues as needed. Uphold the company’s core values of Integrity, Innovation, Accountability, and Teamwork. Demonstrate behavior consistent with the company’s Code of Ethics and Conduct. It is the responsibility of every employee to report to their manager or a member of senior management any quality problems or defects in order for corrective action to be implemented and to avoid recurrence of the problem. Duties may be modified or assigned at any time to meet the needs of the business. Qualifications High school diploma desired.
