The position plays a critical role in enabling high-reliability thermal PCB-A production for Automotive, Medical, Defense, and Aerospace markets.

• Review customer Gerber, ODB++, IPC-2581, and CAD data for manufacturability
• Create panel layouts optimized for yield, SMT flow, and thermal PCB constraints
• Define stack-ups, copper weights, materials, impedance requirements
• Perform DFM analysis for heavy copper, metal-core, and high-power designs
• Generate fabrication drawings, drill files, and production documentation
• Manage revision control and maintain accurate data records
• Support quoting with panel yield calculations and fabrication cost drivers

• Program SMT pick-and-place machines (component libraries, feeder setup, placement files)
• Generate and optimize solder paste printer programs (alignment, offsets, stencil parameters)
• Program 3D SPI inspection parameters and board models
• Develop AOI inspection programs and tuning criteria
• Support X-ray inspection programming for void analysis and BTC/QFN inspection
• Create and validate Flying Probe test programs for electrical verification
• Assist in NPI builds by debugging programs and optimizing cycle time
• Maintain component libraries and machine databases
• Collaborate with Process Engineering to optimize placement strategy and throughput

• 3+ years experience in PCB CAM and SMT manufacturing environments
• Proficiency with CAM
  350, Genesis, or equivalent CAM software
• Hands-on experience programming SMT equipment (printer, pick-and-place, AOI)
• Familiarity with X-ray and Flying Probe programming environments
• Strong understanding of PCB stack-ups, thermal materials, heavy copper routing
• Experience with high-mix / low-to-medium volume production environments
• Strong documentation and attention to detail
• Ability to troubleshoot machine programs and support production ramp-up

• Comfortable moving between CAD data and production floor
• Strong problem-solving mindset
• Detail-oriented but production-focused
• Understands impact of programming decisions on yield and cycle time
• Familiar with IPC Class 2/3 environments
