About the Role

We are seeking an experienced and highly skilled Senior Electrical Manufacturing Engineer to lead and drive the development, optimization, and sustaining of complex PCBA manufacturing processes within a highly regulated medical device environment. This senior-level role requires deep technical expertise, strong leadership capabilities, and a proven track record of delivering high-quality PCBA solutions for life‑critical medical products. The ideal candidate will serve as a technical subject matter expert (SME), driving continuous improvement initiatives, leading cross‑functional teams, and ensuring that all PCBA processes meet the most stringent quality, reliability, and regulatory standards in the medical device industry.

Responsibilities may include the following and other duties may be assigned.

Advanced Process Engineering & Development

• Lead the design, development, validation, and continuous improvement of complex PCBA manufacturing processes including SMT, through‑hole, reflow soldering, wave soldering, selective soldering, and advanced cleaning processes
• Drive process capability improvements using statistical methods and advanced engineering techniques to achieve best‑in‑class yields and quality metrics
• Own and lead full process qualification and validation (IQ/OQ/PQ) activities from planning through execution and approval
• Develop and implement Design for Manufacturability (DFM) and Design for Assembly (DFA) guidelines and ensure adoption by design engineering teams
• Lead advanced root cause analysis for complex, recurring, or high‑impact PCBA manufacturing failures
• Evaluate, qualify, and implement new materials, equipment, and technologies to improve process performance and competitiveness
• Define and own process control plans, FMEAs, and control strategies for critical PCBA processes

New Product Introduction (NPI) Leadership

• Serve as the primary PCBA manufacturing engineering lead for NPI programs, from concept through full production transfer
• Lead manufacturing readiness reviews and ensure all PCBA processes are production‑ready prior to launch
• Collaborate with R&D and design engineering teams during early‑stage development to influence PCB layout, component selection, and assembly design decisions
• Define pilot build strategies, process qualification plans, and production ramp activities
• Develop and present manufacturing risk assessments and mitigation strategies to program leadership

Technical Leadership & Mentorship

• Serve as the technical SME for all PCBA process‑related topics across the organization
• Mentor and coach junior and mid‑level manufacturing engineers, technicians, and operators
• Lead technical reviews, design reviews, and process audits with internal and external stakeholders
• Develop and deliver training programs on PCBA processes, IPC standards, and quality requirements
• Represent manufacturing engineering in cross‑functional core teams and program reviews

Quality, Compliance & Risk Management

• Ensure all PCBA processes comply with IPC standards (IPC‑A‑610, IPC‑7711/7721, IPC‑J‑STD‑001) and medical device regulatory requirements
• Lead CAPA investigations and drive systemic corrective actions for PCBA‑related non‑conformances and customer complaints
• Own process‑level risk management activities in accordance with ISO 14971
• Ensure compliance with FDA 21 CFR Part
