Overview

micro1 seeks Electronics Assembly Quality Engineers to apply their manufacturing quality and reliability expertise to a customer project that trains next-generation AI systems. Your domain knowledge in X-ray inspection of area-array solder joints, reflow process adjustments, and counterfeit component screening will directly shape how models learn and reason. No AI experience is needed. Cases cover voiding, head-in-pillow, bridging, open joints, Class 3 acceptance, and component authenticity detection. Contributors may focus on process quality or counterfeit analysis, and should indicate their strength area.

What You'll Do7

  • Interpret X-ray images of BGA, CGA, and LGA solder joints to spot defects such as voiding, head-in-pillow, bridging, and opens.
  • Review reflow soldering profiles and recommend changes that address process-related solder defects.
  • Perform detailed root cause analysis for solder joint anomalies and reliability concerns, then provide recommendations.
  • Assess real-world cases against IPC Class 3 acceptance criteria, documenting critical observations and decision criteria.
  • Evaluate and outline test laboratory flows for counterfeit electronic component detection and screening.
  • Deliver written and verbal summaries of findings that are clear and actionable.
  • Contribute technical insights that improve AI training data quality in electronics assembly and component validation.

Requirements7

  • Hands-on experience in electronics manufacturing process or quality engineering, particularly with area-array packages.
  • Advanced proficiency in interpreting X-ray images and diagnosing solder joint failures.
  • Strong expertise in reflow soldering process optimization and troubleshooting.
  • Familiarity with IPC acceptance standards, especially Class 3 requirements for critical applications.
  • Experience with counterfeit component detection test methodologies and laboratory practices in component authentication.
  • Exceptional written and verbal communication skills for technical documentation and cross-functional knowledge sharing.
  • Background as a process engineer, quality engineer, or laboratory analyst in electronics assembly or component screening, with a clear strength area.

Who Should Apply

Process engineers, quality engineers, and laboratory analysts with hands-on experience in area-array solder joint inspection, reflow optimization, and counterfeit component screening. Candidates should be ready to document findings clearly and indicate whether their strength lies in process quality or counterfeit analysis.
