Electronics Manufacturing Engineer

Basic Qualifications

• Associate's or Bachelor's in Electrical Engineering Technology (EET), Electrical or Manufacturing Engineering, or a related field or equivalent hands-on experience.
• 4+ years in electronics/PCBA manufacturing engineering, with hands-on ownership of an SMT line and its process (paste, placement, reflow, AOI, rework).
• Demonstrated DFM/DFA expertise, reviewed real PCB designs, given feedback to EEs, and can point to boards that shipped better because problems were caught before release.
• Fluency with IPC standards (IPC-A-610, IPC-7351, IPC-2221, J-STD-001) and the vocabulary to hold a design review to them.
• Ability to read and interpret schematics, PCB layouts, fabrication and assembly drawings, BOMs, stack-ups and to spot what's wrong or missing in a release package.
• Hands-on command of the SMT process: reflow profiling, stencil/paste, placement, SPI/AOI, and rework; comfortable diagnosing tombstoning, bridging, voiding, head-in-pillow and similar defects.
• Hands-on with DFM-check tooling (Valor, CAM350, Allegro DFM, or equivalent) and ability to run rule-based checks against layout and fab/assembly data, not just visual reviews.
• Design-for-test (DFT) fluency; design in test coverage and access and review boards for testability (test points, ICT/flying-probe/boundary-scan), not just assembly.
• Hands-on electrical test and measurement; oscilloscopes, multimeters, and bench instruments, able both to run tests defined by the hardware team and to define test procedures.
• Experience preparing and reviewing manufacturing output packages for handoff to internal lines and/or external CMs.
• A constructive, direct communication style; can tell an engineer their design has a problem, make the case, and land the fix without friction.

Preferred Qualifications

• ECAD fluency (Altium, Cadence/Allegro, KiCad) enough to open a design, inspect footprints and layout and mark it up.
• Experience standing up or scaling an in-house SMT line, or transitioning boards between internal and contract manufacturing.
• CAM/DFM tooling depth (Valor, CAM350, Allegro DFM) and experience building or maintaining automated DFM rule decks.
• Automated/functional test (ATE) experience; National Instruments/LabVIEW, Pico Technology, or equivalent.
• Robotics, automotive, aerospace, medical, or other precision/high-reliability electronics backgrounds.
• Lean/Six Sigma and SPC on an SMT line.
• Familiarity with ERP/MES and PLM systems.
