About the Role

As a Through-Hole Operator at Rocket EMS, you’ll be an essential part of our PCB assembly process — ensuring all components are hand-placed, soldered, and inspected to the highest quality standards. You’ll work closely with engineering, quality, and production teams to build boards that meet IPC-A-610 Class 2 and 3 workmanship standards. This position demands steady hands, sharp attention to detail, and the ability to follow precise build documentation in a fast-paced manufacturing environment.

Responsibilities

  • Perform soldering operations using hand soldering tools, wave solder, or selective solder equipment.
  • Inspect solder joints and component placement for compliance with IPC-A-610 workmanship standards.
  • Identify and correct soldering or placement defects; escalate systemic or recurring issues to the Lead or Engineer.
  • Perform basic rework and touch-up on solder joints when needed.
  • Complete first-article verification and in-process inspection forms as required.
  • Maintain clean, organized work areas and adhere to all ESD and MSD handling procedures.
  • Record production data and communicate pass-downs and quality updates to supervisors.
  • Support other assembly or rework areas as directed by Supervisor, Engineer, or Manager.
  • Participate in continuous improvement and 5S initiatives to enhance quality and efficiency.

  • Ability to read assembly drawings, schematics, and BOMs.
  • Understanding of polarity, component identification, and color codes.
  • Familiarity with selective and wave soldering processes.
  • Excellent attention to detail and commitment to quality workmanship.
  • Basic computer literacy (MS Excel, Word, Outlook).
  • Clear communication skills in English, both verbal and written.

Benefits

  • 401(k) with company match
  • Medical, dental, vision, and life insurance

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
