Surface-Mount Technology Engineer

Overview

The SMT Engineer is responsible for managing, optimizing, and improving SMT production processes to ensure high yield, efficiency, and product quality. This role involves process setup, troubleshooting, and continuous improvement of SMT operations, while coordinating with cross-functional teams in quality, equipment, and planning to support smooth production and New Product Introduction (NPI). Key Responsibilities

Setup, monitor, and optimize SMT processes including stencil printing, pick & place, reflow soldering, SPI, AOI, and X-ray inspection. Analyze and troubleshoot SMT defects (tombstoning, bridging, voids, misalignment, etc.). Lead or participate in yield improvement, cycle time reduction, and cost optimization projects. Support New Product Introduction (NPI) and ensure process readiness for mass production. Develop, update, and implement Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) for SMT processes. Apply quality and process control tools such as DOE, SPC, FMEA, 8D, and root cause analysis to drive improvements. Collaborate with quality, maintenance, and R&D teams to ensure compliance with IPC-A-610, J-STD-001, and ESD / MSD standards. Conduct regular audits and ensure adherence to EHS and quality requirements. Maintain documentation and reporting of process performance and improvement activities. Education

Bachelor’s Degree in Electronics, Manufacturing, or Mechanical Engineering. Diploma holders with eight or more years of relevant experience are encouraged to apply. Job Requirements

2–3 years of experience in SMT process engineering or equivalent manufacturing background. Hands-on knowledge of SMT equipment and processes. Familiar with PCB assembly standards (IPC-A-610, J-STD-001) and ESD / MSD handling. Experience in defect analysis, troubleshooting, and process optimization. Strong analytical and problem-solving skills with knowledge of DOE, SPC, FMEA, 8D. Good communication, teamwork, and leadership skills in a fast-paced environment. Proficient in Microsoft Office and production reporting systems.
