Support and improve PCB and PCBA manufacturing processes with a strong focus on SMT assembly, production efficiency, and yield enhancement.
Collaborate with design engineers to review PCB designs and provide Design for Manufacturability (DFM) feedback during product development to ensure robust and efficient production.
Develop, update, and maintain manufacturing documentation, including work instructions, process flows, bills of materials (BOMs), routers, and engineering change documentation (ECOs).
Troubleshoot manufacturing issues on the production floor, perform root cause analysis of defects and quality problems, and implement corrective and preventive actions.
Support new product introductions (NPI), including validation of processes and smooth transition of products from development into full-scale production.
Work closely with production and quality teams to resolve process, assembly, and component-related challenges in a timely and effective manner.
Analyze manufacturing data and process metrics to identify opportunities for process improvements, cost reductions, and productivity gains.
Assist with process validation, optimization, and continuous improvement initiatives using methodologies such as Lean Manufacturing, Six Sigma, and SPC.
Support configuration management and document control processes to ensure accurate and current manufacturing documentation.
Provide technical support for SMT, AOI, and X-ray inspection equipment, including process optimization and resolution of equipment-related issues.
Apply knowledge of IPC standards, ISO 9001, AS9100, and other relevant quality standards to maintain high-reliability electronic assembly practices.
