Description
We’re looking for a seasoned SMT Process Engineer who’s ready to step into a high-impact role and grow into future leadership. This is a mid-career position for someone with 7–15 years of hands-on SMT, PCB assembly, and process development experience. Candidates must come from an environment with multiple SMT lines and a larger-scale electronics manufacturing operation.
What You’ll Own
- Communicate clearly with engineering, production, and customer teams.
- Partner with operators, technicians, and supervisors on daily SMT operations.
- Program, set up, and optimize SMT equipment: printers, SPI, pick-and-place, reflow ovens, AOI.
- Troubleshoot mechanical and electrical equipment issues.
- Build and debug reflow oven profiles (°F/°C).
- Perform defect review, root-cause analysis, and develop pre- and post-build DFM reports.
- Support and program Selective Solder and Wave Solder equipment.
- Interpret 2D and 5DX X-ray images; programming experience is a plus.
- Handle label programming, barcodes, and traceability.
- Use Gerbers, CAD, and stencil design tools.
- Perform rework: hot air, BGA repair, PCA cleaning, soldering.
- Use AutoCAD or SolidWorks for assembly and fabrication drawings.
- Work directly with customer engineering groups to improve design and process performance.
What We’re Looking For
- Bachelor’s degree in Engineering (required).
- 7–15 years of SMT/PCB manufacturing experience (active within the last 3–5 years).
- Experience supporting multiple SMT lines; small shops or single-line operations will not be a fit.
- Strong understanding of circuit card assembly, electronics manufacturing, and box builds.
- Ability to analyze issues, collect data, interpret results, and implement solutions quickly.
- Strong communication skills and customer service approach.
- Proficiency with Microsoft Office; Aegis experience preferred.
- Must pass Component ID and IPC-A-610 Inspection training.
