Indium Corporation is pleased to announce two new additions to its Engineered Solder Materials (ESM) team—Igor Faleichik, senior product specialist, and Jim McCoy, product specialist.
Faleichik assumes responsibility for creating, driving, and supporting initiatives to grow his product lines, with a focus on the connector and RF infrastructure markets for ESM. He researches and analyzes customer and market data for his respective products to understand market trends and technical inflection points. He also supports current and prospective business while serving as a product line resource to coordinate activities among internal departments, including sales, manufacturing, quality assurance, and research and development to advance product growth.
Faleichik brings more than 10 years of industry experience to his new role. He previously served as a sales manager, business development manager, and a marketing consultant—roles that have allowed him to cultivate and nurture strategic business partnerships and develop targeted business initiatives. Most recently, he served as president of an infrared optical component manufacturer.
Faleichik holds both a bachelor’s degree and a master’s degree in marketing from Siberian State Aerospace University. He holds a business certificate in First Principles of Computer Vision from Columbia University, is a certified associate in project management, and is a Certified Lean Six Sigma Yellow Belt.
McCoy is responsible for researching and aligning customer needs with product capabilities to facilitate current and prospective business within the Engineered Solder Materials segment. His focus is on solder preform technology for power electronics applications and he serves as a product line resource to customers and internal departments to address the growing market.
McCoy joined Indium Corporation in 2014 as a talent acquisition coordinator and was promoted to a supervisor role in 2017. During his time with the human resources department, McCoy developed close working relationships with hiring managers and many other members of the community. He was instrumental in creating, developing, and leading Indium Corporation’s award-winning summer college internship program.
McCoy holds a bachelor’s degree in business administration from Western New England University and an MBA in technology management from the State University of New York Polytechnic University. He is a Lean Six Sigma Yellow Belt and a graduate of the Dale Carnegie Leadership Skills for Success program.

Fresh PCB Concepts: Assembly Challenges with Micro Components and Standard Solder Mask Practices
06/26/2025 | Team NCAB -- Column: Fresh PCB ConceptsMicro components have redefined what is possible in PCB design. With package sizes like 01005 and 0201 becoming more common in high-density layouts, designers are now expected to pack more performance into smaller spaces than ever before. While these advancements support miniaturization and functionality, they introduce new assembly challenges, particularly with traditional solder mask and legend application processes.
Knocking Down the Bone Pile: Tin Whisker Mitigation in Aerospace Applications, Part 3
06/25/2025 | Nash Bell -- Column: Knocking Down the Bone PileTin whiskers are slender, hair-like metallic growths that can develop on the surface of tin-plated electronic components. Typically measuring a few micrometers in diameter and growing several millimeters in length, they form through an electrochemical process influenced by environmental factors such as temperature variations, mechanical or compressive stress, and the aging of solder alloys.
