SMT Process Engineer

Develop and optimize SMT manufacturing processes from NPI through mass production, ensuring readiness for scale and quality targets.
Drive yield improvement and process stability across printing, placement, reflow, and inspection.
Perform root cause analysis (RCA) on SMT defects (e.g., bridging, tombstoning, voiding, and insufficient solder) and implement preventive actions.
Support SMT line setup, validation, qualification, and DOE (Design of Experiments).
Partner with Design/NPI teams to perform Design for Manufacturing (DFM) and ensure product launch production readiness.
Establish and maintain process documentation, including SOPs, work instructions, PFMEA, and control plans.
Monitor key performance metrics (e.g., yield, defect rate, cycle time, OEE) to drive continuous improvement.
Support line balancing, capacity, and throughput optimization.
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 manufacturing capability.
Evaluate and implement new materials, equipment, and SMT technologies to enhance manufacturing capability.
