ICEYE; Valencia; Hybrid; EUR 45,000 - 65,000; Full time

Job summary

ICEYE, located in Valencia, Spain, seeks a Manufacturing Engineer to own manufacturability of electronic hardware from prototype to production. You’ll review layouts, drive DFM, and resolve fabrication issues with PCB/PCBA suppliers, acting as the technical bridge between design engineers and fabrication partners.

The role requires deep PCB design, fabrication, and assembly process knowledge, with hands-on experience negotiating design changes with suppliers and ensuring IPC standards are met.

Qualifications

• 3+ years in manufacturing/process engineering within aerospace, defense, or another high-reliability industry.
• Degree in Manufacturing, Electrical, Industrial Engineering, or equivalent hands-on experience.
• PCB Design Review – Read schematics, review PCB layouts, evaluate stackups, impedance control.
• PCB Manufacturing – DFM, DFA, panelization, drill sizes, annular rings, solder mask, copper balancing.
• IPC standards – IPC-A-600, IPC-6012, IPC-610, defect/root-cause analysis.
• Manufacturing Communication – Review DFM reports, negotiate design changes, ECOs.
• Documentation – Gerbers, ODB++, IPC-2581, BOM management.

Responsibilities

• Review schematics and PCB layouts for manufacturability (stackups, routing, power integrity, grounding, impedance control).
• DFM/DFA reviews (panelization, drill sizes, annular rings, solder mask, copper balancing).
• Review manufacturer DFM reports, negotiate design changes with fabricators/assemblers.
• Own ECOs arising from manufacturing feedback.
• Manage PCB/PCBA documentation (Gerbers, ODB++, IPC-2581, BOMs, pick-and-place).
• Support test strategy (flying probe, ICT, boundary scan, functional test, AOI, X-ray).
• Apply IPC standards to defect/root cause/failure analysis.
• Evaluate component footprints/packages for assembly risk.
• Work with fab/SMT partners on soldering, stencil design, surface finishes.
• Manage PCB/PCBA supplier relationships (risk, issue tracking, scheduling).
