As we build our operations from the ground up, we are seeking a skilled and proactive  Glue Dispensing Process Engineer to support the development, implementation, optimization, and continuous improvement of our manufacturing processes. This role is responsible for ensuring stable and efficient glue dispensing operations while meeting production quality, productivity, and reliability requirements.

The  Glue Dispensing Process Engineer plays a critical role in developing and optimizing automated glue dispensing processes for PCB assembly, including equipment setup and programming, dispensing parameter optimization, process validation, troubleshooting, quality improvement, and production support. Candidates will be responsible for improving process capability, reducing defects and material waste, maximizing equipment efficiency, and collaborating with manufacturing, quality, equipment engineering, and suppliers to achieve operational goals.

Glue Dispensing Process EngineerKey Responsibilities:

• Set up, program, calibrate, and optimize automatic glue dispensing equipment. Configure and adjust dispensing parameters, including pressure, speed, temperature, dispensing time, and needle size, to ensure consistent dispensing accuracy and process stability.

• Develop, implement, and optimize glue dispensing processes for PCB assembly. Establish standardized dispensing parameters for different products and improve glue volume, dispensing position, pattern consistency, cycle time, UPH, and overall equipment efficiency (OEE).

• Troubleshoot dispensing-related issues, including insufficient or excessive glue, misalignment, air bubbles, clogged needles, and equipment alarms. Conduct root cause analysis using methodologies such as 5 Why, Fishbone, and 8D, and implement corrective and preventive actions to minimize recurring defects and equipment downtime.

• Perform process validation and First Article Inspection (FAI) during new product introduction (NPI) and mass production. Establish dispensing inspection criteria, monitor process capability, and collaborate with Quality Engineering to improve first pass yield and maintain consistent product quality.

• Develop preventive maintenance procedures and schedules in coordination with Equipment Engineering and Maintenance teams. Monitor the condition and performance of dispensing components, including needles, valves, pumps, hoses, and pressure systems, to ensure equipment reliability and operational readiness.

• Develop and maintain Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs), Work Instructions (WIs), process specifications, and equipment qualification records. Train operators and technicians on dispensing equipment operation, process requirements, troubleshooting, and safety procedures.

• Provide technical support to production teams during manufacturing operations. Monitor equipment downtime, UPH, yield, and defect trends, and drive continuous improvement initiatives using Lean Manufacturing and Six Sigma methodologies.

• Collaborate with Manufacturing, Quality, Equipment Engineering, Maintenance, and equipment suppliers to resolve technical issues, improve manufacturing efficiency, reduce process variation, and achieve production targets.

Qualifications & Requirements:

• Experience: 2 to 5+ years of proven experience in process engineering, equipment engineering, or manufacturing engineering, preferably in electronics manufacturing, SMT, PCB assembly, or automated dispensing processes.

• Technical Skills: Hands-on experience with automatic glue dispensing equipment, including equipment setup, programming, calibration, parameter adjustment, and process optimization. Experience with dispensing materials, valves, pumps, needles, and pressure control systems is preferred.

• Process Engineering: Understanding of manufacturing process development, process validation, troubleshooting, root cause analysis, and continuous improvement methodologies.

• Ability to read and interpret engineering drawings, technical specifications, process documents, work instructions, and equipment manuals.

• Familiarity with quality control tools and methodologies, including FAI, SPC, Cp, Cpk, 5 Why, Fishbone, and 8D.

• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, with the ability to identify process improvement opportunities, reduce manufacturing defects, and improve equipment performance.

• Strong attention to detail with a focus on process stability, product quality, equipment reliability, and documentation accuracy.

• Excellent teamwork and communication skills, with the ability to collaborate effectively across engineering, manufacturing, quality, and maintenance teams.

• Willingness to work assigned shifts and provide production support as needed.
