The engineer works across Operations, Quality, R&D, Supply Chain, Maintenance, and external partners to deliver repeatable, data-driven processes that can be understood and applied globally.
You will report directly to our Sr Advanced Manufacturing Engineering Manager, and you'll work out of our Northford, CT location on 100% on-site work schedule.
Responsibilities
Key Responsibilities:

• Own and improve automated and manual electronic assembly processes including through-hole insertion, selective or wave soldering, hand soldering, cleaning, conformal coating, depaneling, electronics assembly, mechanical assembly, inspection, and rework.
• Develop and maintain process specifications, equipment recipes, setup sheets, control plans, PFMEAs, work instructions, visual standards, and training materials.
• Support NPI builds and product transfers; lead DfM/DfA/DfT reviews, tooling readiness, process validation, capability studies, first-article activities, and production release.
• Use SPC, DOE, capability analysis, defect Pareto analysis, and structured root-cause methods to improve FPY, OEE, throughput, changeover time, rework, scrap, and labor productivity.
• Troubleshoot process, material, design, programming, fixturing, soldering, test, inspection, automation, and equipment issues; implement verified corrective and preventive actions.
• Create or optimize equipment programs, component libraries, fixtures, tooling, test interfaces, inspection criteria, and error-proofing solutions.
• Implement and manage automated visual inspection systems capable of verifying both automated and manually assembled products reliably.
• Implement and maintain automation including robotics used to assemble and process final assemblies.
• Partner with Maintenance on preventive and predictive maintenance, calibration, equipment health, spare parts, obsolescence, and recovery plans.
• Ensure manufacturing controls support applicable product, quality, ESD, moisture-sensitive device, safety, environmental, and customer requirements.
• Partner with design engineering and suppliers to resolve manufacturability, component, material, testability, and process risks before and after release.
• Lead Lean / Six Sigma improvements and capital projects; define requirements, evaluate suppliers, qualify equipment, and manage technical risk, schedule, cost, and benefits.
• Use MES, test, inspection, and equipment data to strengthen traceability, process monitoring, standard work, and real-time performance visibility.
• Train and mentor engineers, technicians, and operators; strengthen practical troubleshooting capability and support documented skills matrices.
• Communicate results through concise technical reports, project reviews, risk escalations, and engineering change-control processes; provide occasional off-shift support based on production needs.

Qualifications
You Must Have:

• 5+ years of relevant manufacturing engineering experience, including direct responsibility for electronic assembly or PCBA processes in a production environment.
• Hands-on knowledge of SMT and related electronic assembly, soldering, inspection, test, automation, and defect-analysis methods.
• Working knowledge of statistical process control, process capability, designed experiments, measurement systems, PFMEA, and structured problem solving.
• Experience developing manufacturing documentation and supporting NPI, process validation, equipment qualification, and engineering change control.
• Ability to work effectively with global and cross-functional teams and communicate technical information clearly in English.
• Ability to safely work in a manufacturing environment and travel up to 25%, including international travel when required.

We Value:

• Bachelor's degree in electrical, electronics, manufacturing, mechanical, industrial engineering, or a closely related technical field.
• Advanced knowledge of IPC-A-610 acceptance criteria and IPC J-STD-001 soldering process requirements; current IPC certification is preferred.
• Knowledge of IPC-7711/7721 rework and repair practices, J-STD-020/033 moisture-sensitivity controls, and ANSI/ESD S20.20 or IEC 61340-5-1 ESD controls.
• Experience with assembly automation including Fanuc or similar robotics programming and maintenance.
• Experience with automated visual inspection including Cognex, Keyence, and similar systems.
• Proficiency with control plans, 8D, DMAIC, DOE, Cp/Cpk, GR&R, and statistical or data-analysis software.
• Lean or Six Sigma Green Belt / Black Belt certification and demonstrated continuous-improvement results.
• Experience with MES, equipment connectivity, traceability, SAP or another ERP/MRP system, and automated manufacturing data collection.
• Experience specifying, installing, qualifying, or transferring electronic assembly equipment, tooling, fixtures, test systems, robotics, and automation.
• Project management capability including scope, schedule, risk, capital justification, supplier management, and benefit validation.
• Experience in high-reliability, regulated, industrial, life-safety, aerospace, or other complex electronics manufacturing environments.
• Analytical, curious, and disciplined in converting production data into practical actions.
• Hands-on and comfortable working at the manufacturing line while maintaining strong documentation and change control.
• Collaborative, inclusive, and able to influence across sites and functions without direct authority.
