Through-Hole Lead

About the Role

As a Through-Hole Lead at Rocket EMS, you will provide hands-on leadership to the through-hole assembly team, coordinating daily work assignments, supporting production schedules, and ensuring assemblies meet IPC-A-610 Class 2 and 3 workmanship standards. You’ll train operators, troubleshoot assembly and soldering issues, and work closely with engineering, quality, and production leadership to maintain consistent quality and efficient workflow. This role requires strong technical skills, attention to detail, and the ability to guide a team in a fast-paced electronics manufacturing environment.

Responsibilities

  • Coordinate daily through-hole production activities, assigning work based on production priorities, employee qualifications, and available resources.
  • Review MPIs, assembly drawings, ECOs, BOMs, and customer requirements; ensure operators use current, approved build documentation.
  • Lead and support component preparation, hand insertion, hand soldering, wave soldering, and selective soldering operations.
  • Verify component identification, polarity, orientation, placement, and workmanship throughout the assembly process.
  • Confirm equipment setups and process settings follow approved instructions; coordinate first-article verification and required approvals before production proceeds.
  • Monitor work in process, output, and schedule progress; communicate material shortages, equipment problems, staffing needs, and production delays to the Supervisor.
  • Provide hands-on troubleshooting for assembly and soldering defects; contain affected work and escalate recurring or unresolved issues to Engineering, Quality, or the Supervisor.
  • Perform and support authorized rework and solder touch-up in accordance with approved procedures.
  • Train and coach operators on assembly methods, soldering techniques, equipment operation, workmanship requirements, and safe handling practices.
  • Verify completion of production records, traceability requirements, first-article documentation, and in-process inspection forms.
  • Communicate clear shift pass-downs covering job status, priorities, quality concerns, and unresolved issues.
  • Reinforce safety, ESD, applicable MSD handling, housekeeping, and 5S requirements.
  • Work with Engineering and Quality to identify defect trends and improve processes, reducing rework and production interruptions.
  • Support other assembly or rework areas as directed by the Supervisor, Engineer, or Manager.
