Responsibilities

• Operate AOI machines by loading the correct program and inspecting in‑process PCB panels for defects such as opens, shorts, under‑etch, over‑etch, pinholes, nicks, and missing features.
• Verify conductor patterns, trace widths and spacing, pad geometries, annular rings, and micro‑features to ensure compliance with engineering specifications and applicable IPC‑A‑600 / IPC‑6013 specification.
• Perform minor rework using the AOI verification unit on allowable circuitry‑related defects when authorized, following approved procedures and ensuring that all reworked areas meet specification and quality requirements.
• Review and evaluate AOI‑flagged findings to distinguish true defects—such as opens, shorts, over‑etch, under‑etch, missing features, or misregistration—from false calls.
• Update the job status and record all required information in the CIMNET shop floor management system. Complete documentation related to inspection results, ensuring accurate and timely recordkeeping.
• Compare and verify AOI program files against CAM files before transferring data to the AOI machine to ensure correct revision control and data integrity.
• Coordinate with Engineering to resolve AOI program‑related issues, including incorrect references, missing features, false‑call optimization, alignment errors, and required program updates.
• Support continuous improvement by identifying recurring defect trends and providing feedback to Engineering and Quality regarding AOI program performance and effectiveness.
• 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.
