Looking for a master smt solderer

Looking for an electronics whiz!

Looking for a microwave rf tech(not ovens)

Looking for an optical communications whiz / tech

Need people who have a good balance of diving right in to attack expensive delicate pieces ,and not too timid , but not careless either

Good organization is a must !

Need a part time or full time employee depending on your experience .an employee who is somewhat flexible who can preferably work sun,mon , and or fri. And one day during tues-thurs every week. Someone who can work tenatively for different days and times or at minimum the days above.
I really need someone within 20 miles of me because of this reason.

Im looking for 4 different types of experts:

1. A master soldering smt tech. We work on tiny circuitboards with expensive hard to replace components like mixers, attenuators,fpga size microchips, caps, samplers,etc….where the spacing is impossible to see with the human eye so we now have a mantis system as shown for microscopic work. wire bonding experience is a major plus too!
Then you would need lots of professional pcb troubleshooting experience to boot. Anyone computer/programming savy is a major hell yes!

2. A microwave engineering tech with real experience with the test equipment we use and repair listed later. For the position of troubleshooting ,repairing, and sometimes designing items we need and use via 3d printing and or fabrication. Experience with 3d printing/mill/router/press/cnc fabricating metal like alum or ss is a major plus as we are moving toward that direction slowly.

Especially now i need someone whos repaired or know optical equipment or at least has some experience in the industry using monochromators, bearings, motors, fiber optic cables ,various connectors, power meters, light sources , and tunable lasers, wavelength meters, optical spectrum analyzers, etc. Basically anyone who has worked in fiber optic telecommunication and knows terms and specs and design mostly. For that i can start at 25$ hr and move up to 28 plus bonuses and percentages based on sales of optical equip ie spec ans, wavemeters, laser sources etc right now we have 14 optical spectrum analyzers that need repair .

If youre looking for a guaranteed full time job, its possible it could turn into 40 or more hrs a week if the biz gets there and its already close. But if looking for a tentatively part time job of approx 20-30 hrs weekly this may be the perfect substitute for ya! If you end up being as good as my main tech michael then i would def offer you a full time posish. ive got tons of work right now and probably will forever.
Theres 7 people who work out of my house some times all at the same time. Its a fun crowd of great personalities. Everyone gets along splendidly .

Looking for someone with a healthy back and able to lift up to 70 + lb items on a rare occasion up on benches and up stairs and down and packed into boxes . But generally the job requires lots of moving 45 lb machines .
So female ok but you got to be super technical and hella nerdy: see below at the bottom for more on that.
prefer 50 and under because I need to be able to relate to you because we will be working together side by side all day long in training and working half the time. and it will take months to years to learn all this stuff , plus at 55 + your back etc.. starts getting weak and Ive had too many problems with employees with back issues.
major plus if you workout with heavy weights regularly or just have thick bones . fyi: Im 43
We have a guy who lives with me working boxing and cleaning whos in his 60s and his backs totally shot but hes a good musician ;).

Musicians get special hiring treatment! And or audio engineers like me.

The job will be working with me all day as my assistant in training , and i work outta my house which has been converted to 95% workplace which includes my extensive pro music/recording studio…which is why a musician or recording engineer is a major plus!

The work is repairing, calibrating , refurbishing and reselling expensive ,very delicate 1-50 GHZ microwave frequency test equipment : mainly spectrum analyzers that hit 50 ghz , signal generators and sweepers, network analyzers , counters and oscilloscopes,etc

You must be the type of person who got xlnt grades in high school and or college + has at least some college courses in electronics or electrical engineering with a focus on rf . Because this work demands a helluva mind! I am mostly self taught but it took me so many years to get as good at it as I am now. I wish when I was younger I went to college for that.

If youre not good at troubleshooting complex things, this is not for you as you will need to read schematics and block diagrams of rf modules and electronic pcb boards as well as navigate service and user manuals that are 500 pages long!

You will also need to learn how the electronics correlate with the rf displayed on screen, or outputted from the test equipment those pcb boards go inside.

( all our systems have similar crossover designs (a Front End which incorporates all of the higher freq rf paths where usually we use high freq microwave modules that look like alien technology inside and rely on micro gold bonder machines, ......., then down converts to several If's which are used to either mix rf inputs with local oscillators which can be vco,yto or fixed at the right freq,) OR..... bring the signal down to one frequency in the 10-350 mhz range with attenuating the signal greatly, so the PCB boards which have mixers, oscillators,multipliers,amplifiers, detectors,phase detectors , down converters, frac n circuits, inductors,regulators, coils,EM interference, and shielding for that, etc.....) will be able to process it effectively
because these boards cant handle High freq RF. (only the alien circuits in the Rf modules can) Ill post a pic.........

Must work well under stress and be very easy going overall. This work is not for everyone but if youve ever had an interest in electronics or high frequency systems like cell sites and phones , radar, satellite communication,self driving vehicles, airplane and nasa instrumentation, wireless internet, anti theft keys, testing car batteries, repairing amplifiers and any electronics,calibration aka metrology or rf in general …. Then this might be the right career for you!

Its More than just a job. You may get sucked into it like me.

If youre an audio engineer and tired of not making a good living off it, and know basic rf test equipment , electronics design and or troubleshooting already, this is gonna be right up your alley. The last few people who worked for me found it very easy to transition since you use a lot of the same theory of acoustics and propagation like reflections, amplitude , resonant frequencies, frequency build up nodes or standing waves,etc

Warning: you must apply yourself immensely as walter white always tried to get pinkman to do.
This is a highly focused job and one wrong move or slip can cost 1000$ easily.not only that theres so much knowledge to aquire to do the job effectively, thus my offer for payment:

15$ to 25$ to start depending on your qualifications, . If youre already a good troubleshooter and know test equipment rf units well, 25$ an hr to start and after youre fully trained 28$ an hr -40$ an hr if you include bonuses which I give often for exceptional work that saves me a lot of money or makes me a lot.

I also offer partnership deals where you can either invest money and or time and give you a 25 to 50 percent split of profit. This is where the real money and excitement is in this biz. Items sell for as much as 16k$ so you can understand and a lot of those items we would be doubling or tripling our profit depending on how lucky we are in purchasing the items with what needs to be repaired and how expensive those parts are or if we can fix them at no to little cost in house.then the profit it would divided to each % based on the agreement. I can send a sample contract Ive been using with other investors if interested .

The job also includes: sometimes packing, shipping large boxes , making labels, generating cal certs, organizing tools and work area, talking with clients, possibly advertising and lubing and finding great deals. which would make you much more money on top of hourly if youre a great networker. this kind of work I can offer 20$ to start and move it up to 25$ eventually once you get really efficient and fast.

Your hours and days would be super flexible and your choice. You could come help last minute or suddenly take the day off no problem. I work 6 days a week (no saturdays)so any days you can make it and for how long is convenient for you , is all your choice! even work from home on occasion if needed once you build up your own home test station which you will . Having a little spot in the garage or spare room helps with this.

Theres no legal paperwork because you would be paid as a sub contractor . So you claim tax as an entrepeneur. You may need to get yourself workmans comp insurance as well as the job can be treacherous at times.

Most of the biz hovers around ebay. So its mostly an online ebay biz ( search on my ebay store username: (testcalinstruments) where you will take over almost all the duties that i have.

. Come in casual wear. Feel free to have a few beers on the job thruout the day. But when we need to get serious we do and you will need to as well. A lot of its comparable to a surgeons work or that childhood game we all loved that went beeeeep!!!!

Having a steady hand is very important ! You will occasionally solder tiny chips (surface mount and hole thru)on pcb boards often ,so soldering experience is a major plus especially using blowers ,solder paste,flux, solder suckers with vacuums. But i can help teach all of these things if you decide to stay on board a few yrs min. Please no one apply whos planning on moving anytime soon. This is a career! And a life long investment i hope!

Your title will be rf engineering tech. Which is a branch of electrical engineering that specializes in microwave freq systems. Most of your duties at the higher rate pay is doing extensive calibrations and troubleshooting to make sure the equipment IE : spectrum analyzers, signal generators, and vector network analyzers; will pass spec and therefore be calibrateable. This is important for all my purchases, sales , and client repairs as well as parts I sell. So you will need to be up to snuff on all the rf specs to accomplish this. ( I can train you on this , but you must have some previous experience because it will take years if you dont and I needed someone yesterday!)

There are investment opportunities to make bank in this biz! Big time! So potentially you can make nearly 40 or 50$ an hr sometimes.maybe 200$ or more an hr sometimes even!

ive been learning rf for 19 years now. However Im a beginner/intermediate to electronics, But Im learning really fast at it and for the higher wage, I really need an electronics teacher who really knows their stuff and has worked in the industry and not just tinkered their whole lives with it. Because some of these circuits are going to take some really good knowledge of both rf/microwave tech and electronics.

Keep in mind I am semi-disabled meaning I can walk usually, and stand for brief periods but i get back attacks often and need major assistance in all aspects of the job.

Because of this ill mod the add to accept weaker females who cant lift 100 lbs items up stairs because since this post i have enough help atm.

Sooo… if youre w female and interested in the job and not too strong, i can add a substitute as performing 10-30 min back massages as part of regular duty to keep me functional for energy and back pain management. No previous experience of massage needed as i was a certified massage masseur for many years and so hav two of my wives who ive trained years ago. But you still gotta know how to solder well and know how to read and troubleshoot block diagrams and schematics. Basically you gotta know your stuff and have some work experience in the field.
