What should you know about role pay against all occupations, by metro?
Ratio = this role's published median divided by the all-occupations median in the same metro, same units, both exact. A ratio above 1.00 means the role's median is higher than the metro's all-occupations median. It makes no cost-of-living claim. Location quotient (LQ) is employment concentration, not a wage index.

How should you read SMT Technician metro ranking?
SMT Technician metro ranking: SMT Technician, mapped to Electrical, Electronic, and Electromechanical Assemblers, Except Coil Winders, Tapers, and Finishers (51-2028), in Idaho Falls, ID has a published annual median of $86,330 for 2025-05. This is an occupation estimate across employers, not a quoted starting rate for your opening. Read the occupation name with the amount.
A narrower plant title does not turn a broader BLS occupation into a separately measured job.
For the same SMT Technician metro ranking: SMT Technician, mapped to Electrical, Electronic, and Electromechanical Assemblers, Except Coil Winders, Tapers, and Finishers (51-2028), in Idaho Falls, ID row, the published lower quartile is $37,210 and the upper quartile is $99,130. These are wage distribution points, not junior and senior job grades. A person’s equipment knowledge, shift requirements and actual duties still need a separate discussion. A missing percentile stays missing rather than being filled from another occupation.
The SMT Technician metro ranking: SMT Technician, mapped to Electrical, Electronic, and Electromechanical Assemblers, Except Coil Winders, Tapers, and Finishers (51-2028), in Idaho Falls, ID employment estimate is 170.

What does this ranking mean for your opening?
The salary snapshot reflects a broad group of assemblers, not specifically SMT technicians who program, profile and maintain automated surface-mount lines. Hiring managers should avoid relying on these medians, as a skilled SMT technician who manages thermal profiles and AOI thresholds commands different compensation than general assembly roles.
Recruiter's read. Qualitative interpretation, not another BLS estimate.
The salary snapshot reflects a broad group of assemblers, not specifically SMT technicians who program, profile and maintain automated surface-mount lines. Hiring managers should avoid relying on these medians, as a skilled SMT technician who manages thermal profiles and AOI thresholds commands different compensation than general assembly roles. Regional pay variance is driven by local industry concentration and competitive market demand rather than uniform job descriptions.
Before initiating a search, clearly define the technical depth you require. A technician who only loads reels is not equivalent to one who can optimize a program or resolve reflow issues. Because platform experience is highly specific, focus on finding individuals who have worked on similar machine families. A candidate who understands the relationship between paste application, squeegee pressure and reflow profiles will contribute to your line's uptime much faster than someone needing extensive training.
SMT technicians are often central to production efficiency, making them high-value employees who are typically stable in their current roles. To attract them, highlight the stability of your production, the brand of your platforms and the opportunity they have to own the process. For SMT Technician in the United States, OEWS measures straight-time gross wages, not pure base salary or total compensation. Commissions and production bonuses are included; overtime, shift differentials, nonproduction bonuses and benefits are excluded.
The data provided does not indicate that you will easily find candidates just by looking at local pay ranges. The search requires a targeted approach, identifying and speaking with those currently running lines in your industry. When reviewing candidates, verify their root-cause troubleshooting history and their ability to follow quality control protocols, such as ESD and moisture-sensitive part handling. A technician who understands the 'why' behind the rules is vital for line stability.
What should you know about questions before using this pay map?
Is machine programming the same as an engineering role?
Programming is a core duty for an SMT technician, whereas process engineering is a higher-level role focused on optimization. We clarify the level of programming authority expected at your facility.
How do you screen for thermal profiling experience?
We ask them to describe the process of building and verifying a thermal profile for a new board. Experienced technicians understand the variables of oven zones, conveyor speed, and paste requirements.
Do you recruit line operators for SMT?
No, we only recruit skilled SMT technicians. We do not supply general labor for basic reel loading or machine tending.
What red flags do you look for in an SMT technician?
We are cautious of candidates who blame machine errors for all board defects, those who cannot explain reflow data, or those who lack rigorous line-clearance and ESD habits.
