• Monitor and improve SMT and through-hole manufacturing processes to enhance throughput, product quality, and first-pass yield.
• Support new product launches by developing production-ready processes and coordinating technical activities across engineering, manufacturing, and customer teams.
• Conduct manufacturability assessments and provide recommendations during product introduction stages to ensure robust and efficient production methods.
• Create and maintain manufacturing instructions, process documentation, and assembly standards.
• Lead engineering change implementation efforts and maintain product configuration controls within company business systems.
• Work closely with process, manufacturing, and test engineering teams to improve equipment capabilities, test strategies, and operational efficiencies.
• Review PCB designs, assemblies, and manufacturing requirements to identify opportunities for improved manufacturability and process performance.
• Investigate production-related issues using structured problem-solving techniques and drive corrective and preventive actions to completion.
• Interpret engineering documentation, including schematics, drawings, specifications, and tolerance requirements to support manufacturing decisions.
• Analyze production data, identify trends, and implement solutions that improve process stability and capability.
• Support customer interactions related to manufacturing processes, technical concerns, and production readiness activities.
• Prepare and deliver technical presentations, project updates, and process recommendations to internal and external stakeholders.
• Manage multiple engineering initiatives simultaneously while maintaining accurate records and project documentation.
• Utilize Excel and other data analysis tools to evaluate manufacturing metrics, process yields, and quality performance.
• Maintain ownership of assigned manufacturing processes and ensure compliance with customer requirements, internal procedures, and industry standards.

• Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Manufacturing Engineering, or a related technical discipline; equivalent industry experience may be considered.
• Approximately 10 years of experience supporting electronics manufacturing operations.
• Extensive hands-on experience with SMT assembly processes and automated manufacturing equipment.
• Strong understanding of electronic components, PCB fabrication, and circuit board assembly techniques.
• Proven experience troubleshooting production equipment and resolving manufacturing process issues.
• Familiarity with Juki SMT platforms and associated assembly technologies.
• Experience applying Design for Manufacturability (DFM) and broader Design for Excellence (DFx) principles.
• Working knowledge of PFMEA methodologies and risk-reduction techniques.
• Experience utilizing Lean Manufacturing and Six Sigma concepts to improve efficiency and reduce process variation.
• Ability to validate manufacturing processes, evaluate capability metrics, and improve production yields.
• Proficiency reading and interpreting engineering drawings, schematics, specifications, and tolerances.
• Strong analytical skills with the ability to investigate complex manufacturing issues, interpret data, and implement sustainable improvements.
• Effective written and verbal communication skills for collaboration with customers, suppliers, and internal teams.
• Advanced Microsoft Excel skills for data sorting, filtering, reporting, and analysis.
• Ability to manage competing priorities in a fast-paced manufacturing setting.
• Comfortable interacting directly with customers and presenting technical information to various audiences.

• Experience with FactoryLogix or similar manufacturing execution systems.
• Working knowledge of PLM and ERP platforms supporting engineering and manufacturing operations.
• CAM350 experience or exposure to PCB design review software.
