#Eng-IT-01

The SMT Process Engineer is responsible for developing, optimizing, and sustaining Surface Mount Technology (SMT) processes to support PCBA manufacturing. This role ensures process stability, yield improvement, and product quality through hands-on engineering support, data-driven analysis, and cross-functional collaboration.

The engineer will play a key role in New Product Introduction (NPI), process validation, and continuous improvement initiatives to support advanced electronic manufacturing programs.

Key Responsibilities:

Develop, configure, and optimize SMT manufacturing processes from NPI through mass production, ensuring readiness for scale and quality targets

Drive yield improvement and process stability across SMT lines, including stencil printing, placement, reflow, and inspection

Perform root cause analysis (RCA) on SMT defects (e.g., bridging, tombstoning, voiding, insufficient solder) and implement corrective and preventive actions

Support SMT line setup, validation, and qualification, including process parameter development and DOE (Design of Experiments)

Collaborate with Design and NPI teams to perform Design for Manufacturability (DFM) reviews and ensure smooth product launches

Establish and maintain process documentation, including SOPs, work instructions, PFMEA, and control plans

Monitor key performance metrics (yield, defect rate, cycle time, OEE) and drive continuous improvement initiatives

Support line balancing, capacity analysis, and throughput optimization to improve production efficiency

Provide technical support and training to production teams on SMT processes, equipment, and best practices

Work closely with Quality and Test Engineering teams to resolve manufacturing issues and improve product reliability

Evaluate and implement new materials, equipment, and process technologies to enhance manufacturing capability

Support customer audits, line tours, and technical discussions as needed

Technical Skills:

Strong experience with SMT equipment, including:

Pick-and-place systems

Screen printers

Reflow ovens

AOI / SPI inspection systems

Deep understanding of SMT processes:

Solder paste printing

Component placement

Reflow soldering

Inspection and defect analysis

Experience with:

Root cause analysis (5 Whys, 8D, Fishbone)

Design of Experiments (DOE)

Process validation and qualification

Yield and defect reduction strategies

Familiarity with IPC standards (IPC-A-610, J-STD-001)

Proficiency in Microsoft Office (Excel, PowerPoint, Word)

Experience with CAD/CAM, MES/SFC systems, or process simulation tools is a plus

Preferred Skills:

Strong analytical and problem-solving skills with hands-on troubleshooting ability

Ability to work in a fast-paced, high-volume manufacturing environment

Strong ownership, attention to detail, and sense of urgency

Excellent communication and cross-functional collaboration skills

Ability to manage multiple priorities and support production needs

Experience in high-volume PCBA or server manufacturing environments

Experience with Lean Manufacturing, Six Sigma, or Kaizen methodologies

IPC certification (IPC-A-610, J-STSMT D-001)

Experience supporting NPI builds and ramp-to-production environments

Experience with failure analysis techniques (cross-section, dye & pry, X-ray, etc.)

Qualifications:

Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Manufacturing Engineering, or a related field

3+ years of experience in SMT process engineering or PCBA manufacturing environment

Hands-on experience supporting SMT production lines and equipment
