Additional Information

ESSENTIAL DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES: Develop, optimize, and sustain SMT and mechanical assembly processes, with a primary focus on through hole components. Lead process characterization activities, including DOE planning/execution and in‑depth root cause analysis, to drive yield, quality, and process robustness improvements. Collaborate closely with cross-functional teams-including manufacturing, quality, and NPI engineering-to support new product introduction and smooth transition to sustaining mode. Evaluate, select, and implement new equipment, tooling, and manufacturing technologies to enhance capability, efficiency, and cost effectiveness. Create, maintain, and continuously improve process documentation such as work instructions, control plans, PFMEAs, and standard operating procedures. Provide technical guidance and training to production operators and engineering teams to strengthen manufacturing competency. Monitor key process KPIs and drive structured continuous improvement initiatives using data-driven methodologies. Support internal and external customer audits, technical reviews, and process capability assessments. Drive process capability (CPK) improvements to meet minimum CPK > 1.67 and stretch target > 2.0. Achieve and sustain first-pass yield (FPY) improvement targets of > 99.5%. Define and maintain comprehensive troubleshooting procedures, ensuring all process-related alarms have clear OCAPs (Out-of-Control Action Plans), and validate effectiveness of each OCAP through proper verification. Preferred: Bachelor's or Master's degree in Mechanical, Electrical, Electronics, or Manufacturing Engineering pr any equivalent. Minimum 4 years of hands-on experience in semiconductor manufacturing process field. Required: Knowledge of soldering principles, flux chemistry, thermal profiling, and IPC standards. Proficient in DOE, SPC, FMEA, and root cause analysis tools (e.g., 8D, Fishbone, 5 Whys). Experience with automation, vision inspection systems, and process control software is a plus. Excellent problem-solving, analytical, and communication skills. Ability to work independently and lead cross-functional teams. Lean Six Sigma certification is an advantage.
