Senior Electronics Quality Engineer, Remote- Contract

Role Title: Senior Electronics Quality Engineer Role Type: Contract Location: Remote Required Skills: - IPC 610 & IPC 620 Inspection - PCB CAM & Gerber Review - SMT/AOI Defect Analysis - Counterfeit Parts Detection (AS6081) - Semiconductor Package Inspection (C SAM and X ray) In this role, you'll apply your expertise to help train next-generation AI systems. Your work will shape how models learn, reason, and perform through high-quality, real-world input. No prior experience in AI is required — your domain knowledge is what matters. Scope of Work: - Review and evaluate PCB CAM and Gerber files for manufacturability, quality, and compliance with industry standards. - Perform IPC 610 and IPC 620 visual inspections and provide detailed feedback on PCB assembly or wire harness builds. - Analyze and document surface mount (SMT) and automated optical inspection (AOI) defect types, including the identification and root cause analysis of AOI false calls. - Apply expertise in counterfeit electronic part detection aligned with AS6081 standards, delivering actionable insights for risk mitigation. - Conduct and interpret advanced semiconductor package inspections using C-SAM and X-ray imaging, including die inspection and MIL-STD-883 compliance checks. - Prepare concise, well-written reports and articulate findings verbally to both technical and non-technical stakeholders. - Collaborate with project leads to refine workflow processes and enhance training datasets for AI development. Preferred Qualifications: - 8+ years of hands-on experience in electronics quality, CAM engineering, or failure analysis, specifically within PCB assembly, wire harness, or semiconductor packaging domains. - Extensive expertise in IPC-A-610 and IPC/WHMA-A-620 inspection criteria; IPC CIS/CIT certification strongly preferred. - Demonstrated experience reviewing Gerber data and utilizing PCB CAM software for manufacturability and quality assurance. - Proficiency in SMT processes, AOI defect analysis, and remediation of false calls in automated inspection systems. - Direct involvement in counterfeit component screening per AS6081, with knowledge of risk indicators and mitigation strategies. - Hands-on skills with semiconductor inspection tools such as C-SAM and X-ray, alongside familiarity with MIL-STD-883 procedures. - Exceptional written and verbal communication skills, ensuring clarity in documentation and knowledge transfer.
