Summary: As a SMT Process Engineer, you will be the technical architect of PCBA lines, owning the entire SMT lifecycle from programming to high-volume optimization. Highlights: 1. Lead Mass Production Introduction (MPI) for new PCBA designs. 2. Create and maintain the "Engineering Bible" for SMT processes. 3. Drive aggressive yield improvement initiatives through data analysis. As a SMT Process Engineer, you are the technical architect of our PCBA (Printed Circuit Board Assembly) lines. You will own the entire SMT lifecycle—from initial programming to high\-volume optimization. Your goal is to ensure the highest levels of placement accuracy, thermal profile stability, and overall line velocity. **Key Responsibilities** **1\. NPI \& Mass Production Introduction (MPI)** * **Launch Leadership:** Lead the Mass Production Introduction (MPI) for all new PCBA designs, ensuring a seamless transition from prototype to high\-volume manufacturing. * **Material Validation:** Oversee the qualification of new solder pastes, components, and auxiliary materials (flux, stencils, feeders), documenting all validation reports and implementation results. **2\. Process Architecture \& Technical Documentation** * **Standardization:** Create and maintain the "Engineering Bible" for SMT, including SOPs, Process Workflows, and machine maintenance regulations. * **Thermal Profiling:** Master the Reflow Oven profiling and wave soldering parameters to ensure structural integrity and long\-term reliability. **3\. Yield Optimization \& Cost Control** * **Efficiency Engineering:** Develop innovative solutions to reduce cycle times and improve Units Per Hour (UPH) through better line balancing and feeder optimization. * **Scrap Mitigation:** Drive aggressive yield improvement initiatives by analyzing AOI (Automated Optical Inspection) and SPI (Solder Paste Inspection) data to reduced PMO (defects per million opportunities). **4\. Technical Troubleshooting** * **Root Cause Analysis:** Lead the diagnosis of SMT\-specific defects (e.g., tombstoning, voiding, bridging) and implement permanent corrective actions. **Job Requirements** * **Education**: Bachelor’s degree in Electronics, Mechanical Engineering, or a related technical field. * **Experience:** 3\+ years of hands\-on experience in SMT Process Engineering. Startup experience is a plus. * Expertise in Design of Experiments (DOE) for process validation. * Hands\-on experience with SMT equipment (Pick\-and\-Place, Reflow, Screen Printers, and AOI/SPI). * **Language:** English proficiency is a must. Job Type: Full\-time Pay: $1\.00 \- $2\.00 per month Application Question(s): * Are you able to have a fluent conversation in English? * How many years of experience do you have working directly with SMT Processes? Work Location: In person
