Electronic Assembly Process Engineer

Overview

The person will manage the manufacturing operations that include key processes such as hand assembly, PCBA (SMT and through-hole), cable and box build assembly. In addition to manufacturing engineering responsibilities, there will be opportunity for some design engineering work (electrical and mechanical).

• Experience working with a Contract manufacturer of complex electro-mechanical systems.
• Possess knowledge and experience with the manufacturing, inspection, and acceptance of electro-mechanical systems and/or printed circuit boards of varying complexities.
• Direct knowledge of manufacturing processes and supply chain logistics from raw material to finished goods.
• Work with internal process owners and suppliers to develop manufacturing processes, build instructions, and oversee supplier production runs.
• Support all aspects of electronic and mechanical assembly, including surface mount technology (SMT), through-hole assembly, convection reflow, wave solder, hardware installation, cleaning, conformal coating, potting and box build.
• Resolve manufacturing and process issues.
• Develop, qualify, and document assembly steps and manufacturing processes to fit the requirements of all products.
• Support supply chain with analysis of alternate electrical components and commodity management.
• Identify, design, procure, and validate assembly and test fixtures & tools. Support assembly and test equipment selection process to meet production plans.
• Train, develop, and/or provide work direction to operators and technicians.
