Job description

SUMMARY

We are seeking a highly skilled and detail-oriented Process Engineer to develop, optimize, and maintain surface mount assembly processes for printed circuit board assemblies (PCBA). The ideal candidate will ensure high-yield, low-defect production by improving process capability, equipment utilization, and quality assurance.

ESSENTIAL DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES

• Develop and maintain SMT assembly processes (screen printing, pick-and-place, reflow soldering, Wave, SPI).
• Analyze and improve process capability (Cp, Cpk), first pass yield (FPY), and overall equipment effectiveness (OEE).
• Define, monitor, and optimize reflow oven thermal profiles for lead and lead-free soldering.
• Drive root cause analysis and corrective actions for process defects (e.g., tombstoning, solder bridging, head-in-pillow).
• Support New Product Introductions (NPI) by establishing process flows, documentation, and line setup.
• Perform DFM/DFT reviews with design and test engineering teams.
• Create and update standard operating procedures (SOPs), work instructions, and training materials.
• Lead process validation, DOE (Design of Experiments), and statistical process control (SPC).
• Work closely with cross-functional teams including quality, production, R&D, and equipment engineering.
• Ensure compliance with IPC-A-610, J-STD-001, ESD, and other industry standards.

MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS

• Bachelor's degree in Electronics, Mechanical, Mechatronics, or Industrial Engineering (or related field).
• 4–6+ years’ experience in SMT or PCBA manufacturing environment.
• Strong knowledge of SMT machines.
• Well verse on ISO 134854- Medical requirements. (Will be advantage)
