• Lead, mentor, and support a team of three applications engineers, setting priorities, providing technical guidance, and supporting performance and professional development.
• Serve as a key technical contact for customers, manufacturers’ representatives, sales, engineering, and manufacturing teams.
• Understand customer design requirements; review PCB layouts and electronic designs; recommend substrate, packaging, and assembly approaches that improve manufacturability and performance.
• Guide customer design‑in activities, design reviews, prototypes, new product introductions, and transitions into production.
• Prepare and review technical quotations, cost estimates, and feasibility assessments; learn and apply Remtec’s pricing methodology.
• Partner with manufacturing, production, and quality teams to troubleshoot technical challenges, address root causes, and improve quality, yield, and process capability.
• Create technical presentations, application documentation, and customer reports; participate in customer visits and relevant industry events.

What you would bring

• Bachelor’s degree in Electrical, Mechanical, Manufacturing, or Materials Science Engineering, or a related technical discipline.
• At least five years of relevant engineering experience in electronics design, PCB technologies, electronics manufacturing, microelectronics, packaging, or related fields.
• Working knowledge of PCB design, circuit layout, and design for manufacturability, with practical CAD experience (such as AutoCAD, SolidWorks, or comparable tools).
• Ability to communicate technical concepts clearly to customer engineers and internal teams, evaluate design tradeoffs, and recommend solutions.
• Strong analytical, project coordination, and cross‑functional collaboration skills; enthusiasm for customer‑facing engineering and team leadership.
• Ability to work primarily on‑site and travel for customer visits and business needs.

Experience that will help you stand out

• Knowledge of die attach, wire bonding, flip‑chip, SMT, laser trimming, soldering, hermetic packaging, or related assembly processes.
• Experience mentoring or managing engineers; technical quotations, cost estimating, or customer‑facing project management.
• Exposure to aerospace, defense, medical, RF/microwave, or other high‑reliability electronics, including applicable quality and manufacturing standards.

Why consider Remtec

Make a visible impact on customer solutions while taking ownership of an established engineering team.
