About this role
You will play a critical role in the hands-on fabrication, assembly, and testing of solar array hardware. This role will focus on, mechanical assembly, and production testing. Perform manual soldering of solar cell strings including tab ribbon soldering, cell-to-cell interconnects, and bypass diode attachment. Execute gull-wing and other precision solder joint formations on solar array circuit interconnects per IPC workmanship standards. Handle ultra-thin solar cells, glass cover sheets, and silicon substrates with care to prevent micro-cracking or contamination. Inspect solder joints visually and with optical aids; identify and disposition non-conforming joints. Perform rework and repair of solder connections per approved rework procedures. Maintain cleanroom protocols, ESD controls, and FOD prevention throughout all soldering operations. Document assembly activities, rework operations, and non-conformances in production records. Use production software and digital work instruction systems accurately. Contribute to the continuous improvement of assembly and integration processes, recommending and implementing efficiency enhancements and quality
