About The Position

BAE Systems is seeking a Process Engineer to support Circuit Card Assembly (CCA) manufacturing operations for high-reliability aerospace and defense electronics. This role is responsible for developing, optimizing, and sustaining manufacturing processes across CCA process and conformal coating operations. The Process Engineer will support process improvements, yield enhancement, defect reduction, and equipment performance, while contributing to New Product Introduction (NPI) and Non-Recurring Engineering (NRE) builds. This position requires strong collaboration with Operations, Quality, Maintenance, and Program teams to ensure compliance with AS9100 and IPC standards.

Requirements

Bachelor’s degree in engineering (Manufacturing, Mechanical, Electrical, or related field)
2–5 years of experience in electronics manufacturing.
Basic understanding of CCA assembly processes
Knowledge of IPC-A-610 and J-STD-001 standards
Familiarity with AS9100 quality systems
Experience supporting NPI or development builds
Strong problem-solving and analytical skills
Ability to work in a fast-paced manufacturing environment
Experience with SMT, SPI, AOI, reflow ovens, inline wash
Familiarity with SPC (Statistical Process Control)
Knowledge of IPC-CC-830 coating standards
Experience in aerospace or defense manufacturing

Nice To Haves

Lean Manufacturing or Six Sigma training (Green Belt preferred)

Responsibilities

Support daily manufacturing operations for CCA assembly and conformal coating processes.
Monitor and maintain process performance for: conformal coating systems (manual, automated and selective, masking, curing, and inspection).
Troubleshoot process and equipment issues using root cause analysis and corrective actions.
Assist in developing and optimizing process parameters, recipes, and work instructions for coating and underfill processes.
Support Statistical Process Control (SPC) initiatives by collecting and analyzing process data.
Participate in yield improvement and defect reduction efforts.
Support NPI activities, including prototype builds, process setup, coating trials, and DFM reviews.
Assist with NRE builds, including new process introduction, and early production support.
Support equipment qualification and validation activities (IQ/OQ/PQ) for conformal coating systems.
Work with Quality Engineering to ensure compliance with AS9100, IPC-A-610, J-STD-001, and coating standards (e.g., IPC-CC-830 where applicable).
Collaborate with Maintenance teams to improve equipment uptime.
Maintain and update process documentation, including method sheets, PQP’s, PFMEA’s, control plans, and process flows.
Participate in continuous improvement initiatives to improve efficiency, reduce waste, and lower manufacturing costs.
Follow and support safety requirements, including LOTO procedures, chemical handling, and Job Safety Analysis (JSA).
