Cleanroom Assembler

Overview :

The Assembler will be responsible for the electrical / mechanical assembly and testing of systems and associated components in a cleanroom environment. He or she will ensure that all systems and components meet established specifications per standard operating procedures and / or mandated customer requirements.

Key Responsibilities :

• Operating manual wire bonding and other cleanroom equipment : Setting up, calibrating, and operating manual wire bonders to perform ball bonding, wedge bonding, with meticulous control.
• Precision wire bonding and assembly : Carefully manipulating and positioning the work under the bond head, creating the first bond, forming the wire loop, and creating the second bond, all by hand. This requires excellent hand-eye coordination and precision under a microscope.
• Process parameter adjustment : Adjusting bonding parameters (e.g., bonding force, temperature, time, ultrasonic energy levels) as needed.
• Quality control and inspection : Inspecting completed wire bonds under a microscope to ensure they meet quality standards and specifications. Identifying and troubleshooting defects like wire breaks, wire sweep, or non-sticking bonds.
• Equipment maintenance and troubleshooting : Performing routine maintenance on manual wire bonding machines, troubleshooting minor equipment malfunctions, and reporting more complex issues to the appropriate personnel.
• Cleanroom protocols and safety : Adhering to strict cleanroom procedures, electrostatic discharge (ESD) safety protocols, and company policies to maintain a clean and safe work environment.
• Collaboration : Working closely with engineers, quality assurance technicians, and other assembly team members to ensure smooth production flow and high-quality output.

Qualifications and Skills :

Work environment :

Assemblers will typically work within a cleanroom environments to minimize contamination. The role requires extended periods of standing or sitting, depending on the specific tasks and equipment used, and may involve repetitive motions. The work requires meticulous attention to detail and precision, as the components involved are often tiny and delicate.
