Job Summary
The SMT Line Supervisor/Engineer is a hands-on leader responsible for overseeing the safe and efficient operation of the Surface Mount Technology (SMT) production lines during the 2nd or 3rd shift. This role is critical to achieving production goals, maintaining the highest quality standards, and developing a highly effective team. The ideal candidate is a proactive problem-solver with deep technical knowledge of SMT processes and strong leadership skills to drive performance during non-traditional hours.

Key Responsibilities
1. Production Leadership & Management:
· Directly supervise a team of SMT Operators, Technicians, and other line personnel.

· Execute the production schedule, ensuring on-time delivery and communicating any issues that may impact deadlines.
· Coordinate with the previous and following shifts to ensure a smooth transition and continuity of operations.
2. Quality Assurance:
· Enforce strict adherence to quality standards, IPC-A-610, and workmanship guidelines.
· Oversee first-article inspections and in-process quality checks.
· Lead containment and root cause analysis for defects, non-conformances, and customer returns.
· Partner with the Quality Department to implement corrective and preventive actions (CAPA).
3. Technical Process & Equipment Oversight:
· Possess a strong working knowledge of SMT equipment (Screen Printers, Pick-and-Place, Reflow Ovens, AOI, SPI, X-Ray).
· Troubleshoot process and equipment issues swiftly to minimize downtime.
· Escalate complex technical problems to Maintenance or Engineering and provide clear, detailed information.
· Ensure all equipment preventative maintenance (PM) is performed as scheduled.
4. Team Development & Safety:
· Train, mentor, and develop shift personnel on standard operating procedures (SOPs), safety protocols, and technical skills.
· Conduct performance evaluations, provide constructive feedback, and manage attendance and timekeeping.
· Foster a culture of safety, ensuring a clean and organized (5S) work environment and that all safety policies are followed.
· Manage employee relations, resolve conflicts, and maintain high team morale on the off-shift.
5. Continuous Improvement & Administration:
· Utilize Lean Manufacturing and 5S principles to identify waste and drive process improvements.
· Analyze production data to identify trends and opportunities for efficiency gains.
· Complete all required shift reports, including production summaries, downtime logs, and quality reports.
· Manage inventory of consumables (solder paste, stencils, nozzles, feeders) for the shift.

Qualifications & Experience
Required:
· High School Diploma or GED equivalent.
· Minimum of 3-5 years of experience in an SMT/Electronics Manufacturing environment.
· At least 2 years of experience in a leadership or supervisory role (Team Lead, Supervisor).
