Job Description: • Support PCBA Design for Manufacturability (DFM/DFx), NPI, and SMT process development for high-volume electronics manufacturing. • Participate in development and NPI builds, supporting PCBA manufacturing readiness, build execution, issue resolution, and process qualification. • Oversee PCBA subcontractors and manufacturing partners to maintain approved process parameters, test procedures, quality standards, and build readiness. • Provide technical guidance on SMT processes including solder paste printing, surface mounting, SPI, AOI, reflow, underfill, thermal gel application, waterproofing, tooling, fixtures, solder deposition, and volume rework. • Develop and improve PCBA manufacturing workflows, including acceptance testing, line startup, process qualification, and sustaining support. • Lead continuous improvement activities focused on lean manufacturing, cycle-time reduction, process yield, failure analysis, root-cause resolution, quality improvement, and cost reduction. • Evaluate and implement cost opportunities through process optimization and yield improvement while maintaining required quality standards. • Support onsite development and sustaining builds and coordinate closely with multidisciplinary engineering, manufacturing, quality, supplier, and operations teams. Key Requirements: • Bachelor's degree in Mechanical, Chemical, or Industrial Engineering, or equivalent practical experience. • 4+ years of hands-on NPI experience in SMT within a manufacturing facility, with strong PCBA process knowledge. • Proficiency in core SMT processes including solder paste printing, surface mounting, SPI, AOI, reflow, underfill, and thermal gel application. • Proven experience developing PCBA manufacturing workflows, including acceptance testing, line startup, process qualification, rework, and underfill. • Demonstrated success delivering measurable improvements in SMT efficiency, process yield, quality, cycle time, and cost reduction. • Strong technical communication skills for collaborating across multidisciplinary teams, including engineering, manufacturing, quality, operations, suppliers, and vendors. • Hands-on experience with process troubleshooting, failure analysis, root-cause resolution, and structured problem-solving in a manufacturing environment. • Ability to support onsite development and sustaining builds at manufacturing locations. Preferred Experience: • Familiarity with Quality Control frameworks including SPC, QC 7 tools, and Six Sigma methodology. • Experience with lean manufacturing and continuous improvement in SMT/PCBA operations. • Experience with tooling, fixtures, solder deposition, waterproofing, and volume rework processes. • Experience supporting multiple development or manufacturing programs and coordinating resource, schedule, and priority tracking. • Strong DFx, process/test development, and cross-functional problem-solving capability.
