Job summary

Neros Technologies is seeking an SMT Supervisor to lead day-to-day production of PCBAs and prototypes in a high-volume, automated environment. You will supervise line operators, drive throughput and quality, and collaborate with manufacturing, process engineering, and planning teams.

You will own line metrics, implement 5S/visual management, and champion automation opportunities to reduce cycle times while maintaining strict ESD and quality standards in a fast-paced defense manufacturing setting.

Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Electrical, Mechanical, Industrial, or Manufacturing Engineering or equivalent hands-on experience.
• 5+ years in SMT PCBA production, including 2+ years in a supervisory or lead role in a high-volume, automated environment.
• Experience with SMT processes: screen printing, pick-and-place, reflow, AOI/SPI/X-ray inspection.
• Experience implementing and sustaining 5S and lean manufacturing practices.
• Familiarity with IPC-A-610 and J-STD-001 standards.
• Strong leadership, communication, and problem-solving skills.

Responsibilities

• Lead day-to-day production of SMT PCBAs and prototypes in a high-volume, highly automated environment, ensuring output, quality, and delivery targets are met every shift
• Supervise, schedule, and develop SMT line operators, material handlers, and technicians, providing coaching, training, and clear performance expectations
• Drive adoption and sustainment of 5S and visual management across the SMT floor, keeping the line clean, organized, and audit-ready
• Partner with process and manufacturing engineering to run line changeovers, support NPI builds, and transition prototypes into high-volume production
• Own line performance metrics (throughput, first-pass yield, downtime, scrap) and lead daily stand-up meetings, escalating and resolving bottlenecks quickly
• Identify and implement automation and continuous improvement opportunities that reduce touch time, cycle time, and operator dependency
• Ensure adherence to SOPs, work instructions, ESD controls, and quality requirements, and support root cause analysis and corrective actions on line defects
• Coordinate with materials, planning, and quality teams to maintain kitting accuracy, feeder and stencil readiness, and material flow to the line
• Maintain a safe work environment and enforce EHS policies
