Develop and own the in‑house SMT and PCB assembly manufacturing process from prototype through production
Lead the design and buildout of the PCB assembly area, including layout, material flow, operator flow, and future production scaling considerations
Specify, source, and implement equipment and infrastructure required for PCB assembly, including SMT line equipment, inspection tools, rework tools, and facility needs
Northwood is a modern space infrastructure company bringing the benefits of space to the masses through advanced communications technology. We are building a global network of phased array ground stations that enable real-time, reliable communication for satellite missions such as national security, global connectivity, and disaster response. With a vertically integrated approach, Northwood designs, builds, and rapidly deploys scalable systems that power the next generation of space missions. If you like solving complex challenges and seeing your work deployed around the world with real impact, Northwood is the place to do it.
Role:We are seeking a Lead SMT Process Engineer to build and scale our in-house PCB assembly capability. This person will be responsible for developing the full board assembly process, defining assembly standards, standing up the PCB assembly area, and building the team required to execute it. You will work cross-functionally with Electrical Engineering, Manufacturing, Supply Chain, and Production to ensure our electronics manufacturing capability is robust, scalable, and tightly integrated into overall factory operations and systems. This is a hands‑on leadership role for someone who can move fluidly between process development, factory buildout, equipment selection, production readiness, and team building.
Responsibilities:Develop and own the in‑house SMT and PCB assembly manufacturing process from prototype through production
Define process standards for board assembly, inspection, rework, traceability, quality control, and workmanship
Establish how PCB assembly workflows, quality data, and production tracking integrate with Manufacturo and broader manufacturing systems
Lead the design and buildout of the PCB assembly area, including layout, material flow, operator flow, and future production scaling considerations
Specify, source, and implement equipment and infrastructure required for PCB assembly, including:
SMT line equipment
Inspection tools
Rework tools
ESD/anti‑static controls
Benches, tooling, fixtures, and storage
Power, cooling, compressed air, and other facility needs
Develop manufacturing processes for solder paste printing, pick‑and‑place, reflow, inspection, hand assembly, rework, and repair
Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Manufacturing Engineering, or related field
6+ years of experience in PCB assembly, SMT process engineering, electronics manufacturing, or related manufacturing roles
Experience developing and scaling SMT or PCB assembly processes in a production environment
Experience with PCB assembly equipment, inspection methods, and rework processes
Experience standing up a new PCB assembly line or manufacturing area from scratch
Experience selecting and implementing SMT production equipment and supporting infrastructure
Experience integrating manufacturing processes with MES/MRP systems such as Manufacturo
Familiarity with IPC standards such as IPC‑A‑610, J‑STD‑001, and related electronics manufacturing requirements
