About Standard Bots

About the role
Every robot we ship has to actually work - for years, in real factories, under real load. That comes down to what happens on the inspection bench before it ever leaves the building. As Senior Electronic Inspector, you're the final word on whether our PCBAs, cables, and harnesses meet the bar, and you're the person other inspectors turn to when the standard gets tricky.
What you'll do
- Inspect PCBA and electronic assemblies against IPC-A-610 acceptability criteria
- Inspect cables and wire harnesses against IPC/WHMA-A-620
- Lead First Article Inspections for electronic assemblies, setting the standard other inspections get measured against
- Mentor Receiving Inspectors on electronic inspection technique and how to actually apply IPC standards, not just cite them
- Own inspection records and traceability for everything electronic that comes across your bench
- Sit on the Material Review Board for electronic nonconformances and help drive real dispositions, not just paperwork
- Review electronic assembly drawings early and flag inspectability issues to NPI and Engineering before they become production problems
- Support 6S and FOD programs in the electronics QC area - FOD control especially, since a stray piece of debris in the wrong assembly is not a small mistake
What you'll bring
- 5+ years of electronic inspection experience in a manufacturing QC environment
- Current IPC-A-610 CIS or CIT certification
- Current IPC/WHMA-A-620 CIS or CIT certification
- Solid ESD knowledge and hands-on experience running or supporting an ESD program
- Ability to read schematics and electronic assembly drawings fluently, not just reference them
Nice to have
- Experience with industrial robotics control electronics, motor drives, or sensor systems
- Hands-on experience with microscopy and other visual inspection equipment
