Your Mission BriefWOLF Advanced Technology is on the hunt for a full-time SMT Operator to join our growing in-house manufacturing team in Aurora, Ontario.
Reporting to the Senior Manager, SMT, you’ll play a mission-critical role in bringing our SMT production line to life, owning hands-on operation and ensuring high-performance PCB assembly from day one.
This is a ground-floor opportunity to help build WOLF’s SMT capability from scratch. You’ll work in a small, highly technical team, operating across the full production line from printing through inspection. The environment is fast-paced, detail-driven, and fully on-site, with a strong focus on precision, speed, and problem-solving in a high-mix, low-to-medium volume setting.
As SMT Operator at WOLF, you might…- Set up and run the full SMT line: Operate across solder paste printing, pick-and-place, reflow, and inspection equipment to drive end-to-end production
- Execute high-speed feeder setups: Install and configure feeders efficiently to keep changeovers tight and production moving
- Optimize production flow: Manage machine readiness and material flow to minimize downtime and maximize throughput
- Troubleshoot in real time: Identify and resolve mechanical, electrical, and process issues directly on the line
- Inspect and validate output: Use AOI and visual inspection techniques to ensure builds meet IPC-A-610 Class 3 standards
- Handle ultra-fine components: Work with extremely small parts requiring precise hand-eye coordination and attention to detail
- Support process improvements: Collaborate with engineering and quality to reduce defects and improve yield
- Own day-to-day production: Operate with autonomy on the floor while contributing to a collaborative, high-accountability team
At WOLF, your work directly powers mission-critical aerospace and defense systems. This is your chance to build something from the ground up and make an immediate, tangible impact.
Your EdgeYou bring 5+ years of hands-on experience in SMT manufacturing, ideally within aerospace, defence, or other high-reliability electronics environments. You have worked directly on production floors operating and supporting full SMT lines, with a strong understanding of workflows from solder paste printing through to inspection.
You have practical experience working
