Senior Lead, DFM and Process Engineer

Celestica International LP • Richardson, TX

5d • Onsite

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.
• 4 to 6 years in a similar role or industry.

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.
