Nah, that's a pretty big part.  I place parts like that on prototype
boards by hand with tweezers under my inspection microscope fairly
routinely (lots of MEMS sensors are in this size range these days).
It's important to have a decent stencil and fresh, fine particle solder
paste.  And a steady hand, of course...
