  • 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.
