RF/Microwave Microelectronics Assembler

RF/Microwave Microelectronics Assembler

Location: El Cajon, CA | Openings: Multiple immediate hires

Step into a precision lab where 10X microscopes, fine-tip irons, and hot plates are your daily tools. From the moment you begin your shift, you’ll be working hands-on with miniature RF and microwave assemblies—building, inspecting, and perfecting products that demand unwavering focus and steady hands. If you cannot solder small components under a microscope, this role is not the right fit.

This is not general assembly or warehouse work. It’s true microelectronics production in a fast-paced manufacturing setting where quality comes first.

What a day looks like

• Assemble miniature electronic and RF components with tight tolerances
• Inspect and build under a 10X microscope for precision placement and verification
• Perform fine hand soldering (through‑hole and SMT), rework, and hot plate reflow
• Carry out coil winding along with shield and strap cutting
• Execute epoxy staking and potting processes
• Assist with electronics tuning, leak testing, and product validation activities
• Follow detailed work instructions, schematics, and assembly procedures
• Maintain rigorous quality standards and a spotless bench

What you bring

• 2+ years of electronic assembly experience in a production environment
• Background working with small parts/micro‑assembly
• Proficiency soldering both through‑hole and SMT components
• Comfort working for extended periods under a microscope (required)
• Excellent hand dexterity and keen attention to detail
• Ability to read and interpret assembly instructions, schematics, or blueprints
• Reliable attendance and a collaborative mindset

Preferred extras

• IPC‑A‑610 or J‑STD certification
• Experience in RF, aerospace, defense, or medical device assembly
• Familiarity with coil winding or epoxy potting

Requirements:

• Must be a U.S. Citizen or Permanent Resident
