  • Reviewing and updating manufacturing processes and policies as per compliance and industry standard.
  • Designing and implementing processes for manufacturing equipment selection; identifying optimal tools for machines.
  • Establishing control charting of complex features and processes; monitoring results and determining machine capabilities, process capabilities, and performance reliability.

What your background should look like

Education and Experience Requirements
•    5 to 8 years of experience in Design automation systems integrated into cable production machines, ensuring that all parts and components are compatible with each other and meet operational requirements.
•    Advanced knowledge in the use of SAP and Microsoft Office.
•    Good project management skill: ability to work on several projects at once.
•    Create competitive strategies and plans.
•    Experience at solving problems for process and designs.
•    Interpersonal skills, communication and ability to multitask. 

Essential Job Duties and Responsibilities    
A.    NPI & Early Lifecycle Engineering (Primary Ownership)
•    Provide deep technical guidance on PCB fabrication, PCBA assembly, and SMT processes for all new products introduced at the site.
•    Review design packages from Product/R&D teams for DFM and process risk identification.
•    Evaluate PCB stack-ups, material selection, controlled impedance structures, surface finishes, and SMT component risks that could impact assembly processes or HS signal performance.
•    Approve PCB/A supplier process readiness for pre-production builds (EVT/DVT/PVT).
•    Support MPDE engineers during pilot runs, ensuring PCB/A related issues are rapidly identified and corrected.

B.    Supplier Qualification, Technical Assessment & Cost Optimization
•    Lead technical qualification of PCB and PCBA suppliers in collaboration with Sourcing/Procurement, Supplier Quality, and MPDE.
•    Conduct technical audits covering process controls, SMT capability, laminate handling, plating, soldering processes, and IPC/J STD compliance.
•    Work closely with Sourcing/Buyers to evaluate new suppliers for cost reduction initiatives, dual sourcing strategy, and supply base strengthening.
•    Evaluate and compare supplier cost structures driven by processes, materials, yields, and manufacturing technologies.

C.    Manufacturing Support & Sustaining Engineering Alignment
•    Act as the escalation technical expert for PCB/A issues affecting yield, assembly processes, or field returns during mass production.
•    Work with Manufacturing Engineering to analyze recurring defects, process escapes, handling-related issues, or PCBAs failures.
•    Recommend process adjustments, inspection criteria improvements, or supplier procedural changes to prevent recurrence.
•    Support transition/handoff of new products from MPDE to Sustaining.

D.    Quality Assurance, Supplier Quality & Compliance
•    Partner with QA/SQE to establish incoming inspection criteria, control plans, and acceptance standards for PCB/A materials.
•    Provide expertise during supplier non-conformance investigations and SCAR closure.
•    Ensure supplier conformity to applicable industry standards.
•    Support Quality during customer audits.

E.    Failure Analysis & Technical Problem Solving
•    Lead or support cross functional root cause investigations involving PCB/A-related defects.
•    Coordinate with suppliers to drive permanent corrective actions.
