Celestica • Richardson, TX

About The Position

Celestica is seeking a DFM and Process Engineer to screen design packages for manufacturability prior to release. Operating within our DFx Center of Excellence, you will conduct pre-DFM reviews against established rule sets, log findings with rule-backed evidence, and work directly with layout engineers to resolve issues rather than throwing reports over the wall. You will also serve as a technical reference for SMT and assembly process questions across assigned sites and programs.

Requirements

• Practical experience running pre-DFM screening workflows and maintaining Valor rule encodings.
• Background in SMT assembly processes, board-level manufacturability checks, and PCB layout constraints.
• Strong collaborative communication skills to disposition findings directly with layout engineers and site teams.

Responsibilities

• Run pre-DFM screens on assigned packages and publish reports before release, adhering to strict turnaround SLAs.
• Log every finding in the register complete with severity, disposition routing, and supporting technical evidence.
• Collaborate directly with PCB layout designers to resolve issues via design updates, or route through process/supplier adjustments when appropriate.
• Verify and record evidence of finding closures on subsequent build iterations.
• Provide technical guidance on site DFM and SMT process questions for designated sites and programs.
• Maintain Valor rule encodings for checks within scope and propose rule updates when findings recur across platforms.
