Provide front-line support to day-to-day operations of the SMT line(s) by fixing line defects, reducing scrap rates, and implementing CAPA
Provide DFM feedback to engineering regarding designs and support scale up from prototype to NPI to high-volume production builds
Bachelor's degree in Electrical, Mechanical, Manufacturing Engineering, or related field

  • 5+ years of experience directly supporting SMT PCBA assembly in a highly automated environment
  • Knowledge of SPC, and DFM experience related to SMT and thru hole PCBAs
  • Lean Six Sigma certification
