• Perform soldering of aluminium foil leads, tabs, and internal connections of MV capacitor elements.
• Solder multiple series-parallel connections as per element design.
• Ensure solid and defect-free solder joints with proper bonding.
• Maintain correct soldering temperature and technique to avoid foil damage.
• Use appropriate solder wire, flux, and tools as per SOP.

B. Assembly & Preparation

• Prepare element leads, foils, and connectors before soldering.
• Clean surfaces to remove oxidation and contaminants for proper solder adhesion.
• Assist in assembly of elements before and after drying.
• Support in fixing terminals, bus connections, and interconnection strips.

C. Quality Control

• Inspect solder joints for:
• Dry solder
• Weak joints
• Excess solder
• Bridging or improper bonding
• Cold joints
• Follow QAP and quality inspection checklists.
• Report NCRs (Non-Conformance Reports) for defective components or joints.
• Work closely with QC team for continuous improvement.

D. Tool Handling & Maintenance

• Operate soldering irons, hot plates, and flux application tools safely.
• Maintain soldering equipment in proper working condition.
• Clean tips, check temperatures, and follow preventive maintenance routines.
• Keep work area organized and maintain proper ventilation.

E. Documentation & Coordination

• Maintain daily production entries for soldering work completed.
• Coordinate with winding, assembly, drying, and QC teams.
• Follow work instructions, SOPs, and supervisor guidelines.
• Ensure FIFO usage of materials.

F. Safety & Work Discipline

• Follow all safety protocols for handling hot tools, solder wire, and flux fumes.
• Wear PPE (gloves, mask, goggles, apron) as required.
• Maintain clean and hazard-free workstation.
• Ensure safe disposal of solder waste and scrap foil.

3. Skills & Competencies

• Strong soldering skills—especially for thin aluminium foil and electrical joints.
• Knowledge of soldering temperatures, flux usage, and bonding techniques.
• Ability to identify bad joints and correct them effectively.
• Good hand–eye coordination and fine motor skills.
• Understanding of MV capacitor internal connections (preferred).
• Ability to read work instructions, drawings, and assembly diagrams.

4. Qualifications & Experience

• ITI (Fitter / Electrician) or Experienced Skilled Operator.
• 1–2 years experience in soldering operations in electrical or capacitor manufacturing.
• Experience in MV capacitor element soldering is a strong advantage.
• Prior experience in transformer/coil/foil soldering preferred
