9d • $65,000 - $80,000 • Onsite

About The Position

The Process Engineer is a hands-on technical leader responsible for designing, implementing, and optimizing PCBA manufacturing processes to improve efficiency, quality, safety, and repeatability. This role is especially focused on maximizing the capability of PCBA assets such as Yamaha SMT equipment, DEK and AVI screen printers, SPI assets, selective soldering and related process tools while driving defect reduction and building stronger technical capability across the team.

Requirements

• Relevant PCBA process-engineering experience.
• 10+ years of SMT, PCB assembly, or electronics manufacturing process-engineering experience in a high-accountability environment.
• Strong hands-on knowledge of stencil printing, SPI, Yamaha SMT equipment, reflow profiling, AOI/X-ray interfaces, tooling, and process troubleshooting.
• Demonstrated success reducing production defects, improving yield, and mentoring technical and production personnel.
• Strong communication, project-management, and documentation skills in a controlled manufacturing environment.

Nice To Haves

• 10+ years combined experience in AS9100 and other high-reliability electronics manufacturing environments.
• Working knowledge of IPC-A-610, J-STD-001, RCCA/8D, FMEA, and controlled change practices.

Responsibilities

• Develop and refine SMT and PCB assembly processes to improve efficiency, reduce cost, and enhance product quality.
• Utilize the maximum practical capability of Yamaha SMT machines, DEK and AVI screen printers, SPI equipment, reflow ovens, and related internal assets.
• Optimize solder paste printing, board support, alignment, placement accuracy, reflow profiles, SPI feedback, and inspection effectiveness.
• Lead defect reduction, yield improvement, and process-capability initiatives using data analysis, SPC, DOE, Lean Manufacturing, Six Sigma, and root-cause methods.
• Lead process-improvement projects from concept through implementation, including validation, documentation updates, and production readiness.
• Analyze process data to identify trends, troubleshoot issues, and recommend solutions that improve first-pass yield and reduce rework.
• Collaborate closely with production, quality, test, maintenance, and engineering teams to integrate new processes and support stable execution from NPI through production.
• Prepare and maintain process specifications, work instructions, labor plans, profiles, and controlled engineering changes.
• Provide training, mentorship, and guidance to other engineers and production staff on process best practices, defect prevention, safety, and disciplined execution.
