SMT Process Engineer

The SMT Engineer is responsible for the end-to-end management of Surface Mount Technology (SMT) processes in PCB/PCBA manufacturing. This role covers material planning, equipment operation and maintenance, process control, and continuous improvement to ensure stable, efficient, and high-quality production throughout the entire electronic assembly lifecycle.

• Debug and optimize SMT programs; prepare production process flow documents and establish process specifications.
• Drive SMT process optimization and efficiency improvements, resolve production abnormalities, and analyze product quality issues to ensure stable line operation.
• Design, develop, and optimize critical SMT processes, including stencils, fixtures, solder paste, and reflow profiles.
• Support Quality and Production teams in identifying manufacturing issues and implementing corrective and preventive actions.
• Train SMT technicians and standardize process operations.
• Conduct regular technical and quality reviews with customers, including reports such as MIL, PM, FMEA, CPP, QCP, and FACAR
  .
• Operate and support SMT equipment, including JUKI pick-and-place machines
  , Jet AOI
  , and SPI systems
  .

• Proficient in operating SMT equipment, including pick-and-place machines, solder paste printers, and reflow ovens.
• Strong knowledge of electronic components and packaging (e.g., 0201 vs. 0402) and reflow/thermal profiles, including BGA processes.
• Proficient in SMT-related software such as Enterprise
  3000, CAM
  350, and eMTest
  .
• Minimum 2 years of experience in a PCB/PCBA manufacturing environment.
• Familiar with AOI, AXI, and ICT testing methods and result analysis.
• Experience supporting NPI, pilot runs, and mass production is highly preferred.
