Job Description
Job DescriptionThe Industrial Engineer is specifically responsible for developing and supporting the production process of all assembly operations. This role will work part of a team to design for manufacturing (DFM), perform production yield and efficiency improvements, and tooling design. This role will directly support equipment and processes needed for PCBA production.
Responsibilities include:
- Optimize and configure processes and equipment for building surface mount electronics assemblies.
- Perform design of experiments (DOE) to optimize SMT process yield.
- Specify equipment requirements for new PCBA build processes.
- Develop design for manufacturability (DFM) guidelines for PCBA Designs.
- Provide solutions to streamline circuit board assembly and test processes.
- Reflow soldering, Selective soldering, and Conformal coating
- Facilitate a close relationship with the engineering team during design, build, and test to provide design feedback
- Lead efforts to uncover root-cause and develop a permanent resolution on issues found during production
- Develop a robust set of test machinery that includes critical spares for ensuring complete uptime.
- Determine schedule impacts for unforeseen design or process changes in production
- Provide clear communication between the design engineering team and the production floor
- Concerning product tooling, confer with engineering teams and suppliers to ensure efficient production methods and schedules
- Utilize lean manufacturing tools; recommend improvements in production methods, standards, tooling, equipment, layout, procedures, product designs, and employee efficiency
- Support the transition of products from development to volume production
- Work with the design team in response to manufacturing problems, parts obsolescence, and minor requirement changes
- Prepare and maintain documentation required to ensure efficient production
- Participate in design reviews to conduct DFM and DFT recommendations with innovative and cost-effective solutions.
QUALIFICATIONS:
- Bachelor's degree in Industrial, Manufacturing Engineering or Engineering Degree
- 2+ years of direct experience working in SMT or PCBA process engineering desired.
- Hands on experience with optimizing SMT pick and place, reflow oven, conformal coating, or through hole soldering systems
- Ability to work in a fast paced, autonomously driven, and demanding start-up atmosphere.
