Blue Origin: PCB Rework Station

In this project, our team will be working closely with Blue Origin to understand the standards and difficulties of PCB rework and designing a workstation to aid in this process. This station will be self-contained and easily accessible by the avionics team, reducing lead times wherever possible. Major challenges include understanding and designing around worker ergonomics and mitigating environmental hazards.
