The Senior PCBA Manufacturing Technology Engineer ensures that PCBAs are ready for industrialization before series production by driving strong design‑to‑manufacturing alignment and reducing risks early in development.
The role focuses on DFM/DFA/DFT, process quality, and process qualification, ensuring that designs are manufacturable, testable, and scalable. It acts as the technical interface between R&D;, NPI, Production, Quality, and EMS partners, driving alignment on manufacturing requirements and industrialization readiness.
In addition, the role includes ownership of PCBA manufacturing equipment and line concepts, covering the definition, specification, selection, and implementation of SMT/THT equipment and assembly lines.
Your Responsibilities
DFM, DFA and DFT Excellence:
- Drive and enforce DFM, DFA, and DFT principles across product development
- Review PCB/PCBA designs to ensure manufacturability, assembly robustness, and testability
- Define and maintain design guidelines and industrialization standards
