  • Oversee creation of travelers, BOM validation, build instructions, and work instructions in compliance with AS9100.
  • Manage engineering change control (ECOs), configuration management, and revision control.

Automation & Continuous Improvement

  • Lead LEAN/CI programs focused on waste reduction, defect elimination, and throughput improvement.
  • Collaborate closely with Quality Engineering to address defects, root cause investigations, and MRB activities.
  • Implement process monitoring, SPC, and industry 4.0 tools.

Cross-Functional Collaboration

  • Work closely with Production, Quality, Program Management, Supply Chain, and SMT departments.
  • Provide engineering support during customer audits, FAIs, PFMEAs, and technical reviews.
  • Partner with external suppliers on polymerics, tooling, fixtures, materials, and new process technologies.

Qualifications

  • Bachelor's degree in Mechanical, Electrical, Industrial Engineering, or related field (Master's preferred).
  • 10-15+ years in PCBA manufacturing engineering with at least 10+ years in a leadership role.
  • Deep knowledge of:
    • IPC-J-STD-001 Class 3 & Space/Military Addendums
    • IPC-A-610 Class 3
    • AS9100D
    • IPC-7351, 7711/7721, 2221
  • Experience with aerospace, defense, medical, or other high-reliability electronics.
  • Strong background in SMT (printing, placement, reflow), AOI/AXI, DFM/DFX, Rework, Chemical Wash, Polymerics, and test strategies.
  • Excellent leadership, communication, and technical decision-making abilities.
Pay Range
$150,000—$200,000 USD
