Job description

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

Basic Qualifications:
  • 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

Preferred Qualifications:
  • 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

Additional Information:

If you need a reasonable accommodation as part of your application for employment or interviews with us, please let us know.
