On the SMT line at Skyworks

Your day revolves around setting up, programming, and operating surface‑mount technology equipment such as printers, SPI systems, pick‑and‑place machines, reflow ovens, and AOI. You’ll tune machine setups for both regular production and new product introductions, keeping a close eye on yield and in‑process quality. When issues arise, you will troubleshoot the process and equipment, performing root‑cause analysis, and you’ll maintain and calibrate SMT assets while supporting preventive maintenance. You’ll help develop reflow profiles and maintain critical process parameters, and you’ll inspect solder joints and overall assembly quality to IPC standards. Data collection and documentation updates will be part of your duties, as will supporting line efficiency and cycle‑time reduction efforts, driving continuous improvement. You’ll train and support operators, delivering real‑time production floor help, and you’ll work with engineering on product dispositions and process changes.

Here's what the team is looking for in a candidate.

• High school diploma or GED is required, with an associate degree (or equivalent hands‑on experience) in electronics, manufacturing, or a related field.
