Overview
We are seeking a highly skilled PCB Repair / Debug Technician to support the transfer and ramp-up of multiple high-volume SMT production lines from our Mexico facility to Memphis. This role will play a critical part in establishing advanced board-level debug and

true component-level repair capabilities

for complex server and data center hardware. This is

not

a board-swap or tester-only position. We are specifically seeking technicians who can diagnose failures down to the component level and perform precise soldering and rework to recover high-value assemblies. Candidates who are open to short-term travel to our Mexico facility (approximately 6–8 weeks) to learn existing processes prior to equipment relocation will be strongly preferred. All travel, accommodations, and per diem will be fully covered. However, travel is not required for consideration.

Key Responsibilities

Perform advanced board-level troubleshooting and

component-level debugging and repair

on complex multilayer PCBAs

Diagnose and repair failures across CPU, GPU, FPGA, ASIC, memory, and power subsystems without defaulting to full board replacement

Troubleshoot high-speed digital, mixed-signal, and power distribution circuits using schematics, layout files, and diagnostic tools

Utilize advanced test equipment including oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, protocol analyzers, and power analyzers to isolate faults to the component level

Perform

hands-on soldering and rework , including removal and replacement of fine-pitch components and BGAs using proper thermal profiles

Use X-ray and other inspection methods to validate solder joints and rework quality

Analyze POST codes, BIOS logs, boundary scan results, and other diagnostics to pinpoint root causes

Conduct root cause failure analysis and identify trends to reduce recurring defects and improve yield

Partner closely with engineering to refine debug and repair methodologies for scalability and repeatability

Develop and maintain detailed debug guides, repair procedures, and diagnostic documentation

Track yield, repair cycle time, and failure trends to support continuous improvement initiatives

Support installation, validation, and optimization of SMT, test, and rework equipment during line transfer

Ensure strict adherence to ESD, safety, and quality standards when handling high-value electronic assemblies

Mentor junior technicians in

component-level troubleshooting and soldering best practices

Qualifications

5+ years of experience in hands-on PCB repair and component-level troubleshooting

Proven ability to diagnose faults and repair boards at the component level (not just replace entire assemblies)

Strong soldering and rework skills, including fine-pitch components and BGA rework

Experience with server, storage, networking, or other high-performance computing hardware preferred

Deep understanding of board-level electronics, including power architecture and signal integrity fundamentals

Experience debugging DDR memory, PCIe interfaces, and high-speed interconnects

Ability to read and interpret complex schematics and PCB layout files

Proficiency with oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, and other electronic test equipment

Experience in SMT or high-volume electronics manufacturing environments strongly preferred

Qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to race, color, age, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, disability, protected veteran status, or genetic information. Applicable pay ranges for listed roles are between $28/hr.
