• Analyzes, researches, designs and develops materials and their related fabrication and application processes to develop and optimize materials for use in engineering design of and/or application in structures, systems and subsystems.
• Applies principles of chemistry, physics, and material behavior to develop metallic, non-metallic and composite material and processing specifications, fabrication and assembly processes.
• Provide guidance regarding design concepts, TRL/MRL maturity, and specification requirements to best utilize resources and manufacturing techniques, and ensure processes and procedures are in compliance with regulations
• Interface with internal and external customers, program offices, engineering disciplines, and executive management
• Collaborate with Design Engineering to provide Design for Excellence (DFX) feedback and identify manufacturing risks early in development
• Partner with supply chain and EEE components engineers to establish and enforce a preferred parts list, identify alternate parts, and address part obsolescence
• Contribute to design reviews as a subject matter expert in manufacturability, testability, yield improvement, supplier capability, and quality control
• Define and document manufacturing and test best practices for designers to adhere to.
• Lead manufacturing vendor selection and qualification, define manufacturing readiness requirements, and drive milestone reviews
• Direct and coordinate fabrication and manufacturing activities, including managing supplier relations, overseeing quarantine and rework operations, and spearheading continuous improvement initiatives
• Investigate non-conformances to identify root causes, develop corrective actions, and drive systemic improvements to designs and manufacturing processes
• Identify opportunities to reduce risk, simplify processes, and enhance quality, throughput, and cost.

Basic Qualifications:

• Bachelor's degree in Engineering; any relevant certifications are a plus
• Experience in PCB fabrication or PCBA assembly manufacturing. Preference for candidates with NPI, spaceflight hardware, and NASA program experience
• Expertise in board assembly processes and equipment, such as: stencil/paste print, SPI, pick & place, SMT reflow, AOI, selective solder, X-ray inspection, flying probe, cleaning, coating, and programming
• Extensive knowledge of IPC and NASA standards; such as: IPC-A-600/610 Class 3, J-STD-001, IPC-6012, IPC-CC-830, IPC-SM-840, IPC-TM-650, NASA-STD-8739.1.

Experience with the IPC space addendum is a plus
• Demonstrated experience with materials used in PCBA manufacturing; such as PCB substrates, polymerics (conformal coating, staking, underfill), solder alloys, and electrical components.
• Experience developing and supporting PCBA manufacturing processes (ex. SMT, X-ray, ICT, flying probe, DFT)
• Knowledge of circuit analysis, test plan development, and troubleshooting of…
