• Ability to utilize Gerber software for DFx Reporting
• Ability to translate fully or partially defined requirements into robust manufacturing solutions, in some cases where no precedent exists. 
• Adept at collaborating with product development teams and promoting DFx principles to new product design efforts. 
• Hands-on experience working with sensitive RF measurements and high-speed digital systems. 
• Hands-on experience working with SMT/PCA processes in industry. 
• Working knowledge of IPC-A-610 Solder Requirements – IPC Solder Certification is a plus.
• Understands the scientific elements of SMT technologies and equipment.

What You’ll Do 

• Support manufacturing for surface mount electronics (SMT) and through hole soldering
• Support specifying new equipment and evaluation of new equipment, processes, and materials
• Support SMT initiatives with wide business impact and help proliferate best practices across the SRC enterprise.
• Own and manage PCA manufacturing processes for in-house production.
• Yield analysis and root cause identification to drive corrective action and process improvements as SMT Production issues arise.
• Apply advanced knowledge of engineering principles and concepts to the broad categories of product design, manufacturing, and validation/qualification challenges. 
• Collaborate with product teams early in the development cycle to understand design intent and direction, and to ensure high levels of DFx are achieved.
• Knowledge and experience with DFM techniques to help facilitate manufacturability of PCBAs and Assemblies. Generate DFx reports to improve the manufacturability of new products and reduce process variation.
• Partner with R&D engineers to drive rigor in deriving appropriate and thorough manufacturing requirements.
• Provide direct support to the factory and sustaining personnel during new product transitions to volume manufacturing. 
• Participate in multiple product manufacturing development efforts simultaneously and partner with various functional resources as required.
• Coach and mentor engineers and less experienced staff in effective manufacturing design practices and concepts. 

What You’ll Bring  

• Bachelor’s degree or Master’s degree in Engineering, Computer Science, or similar field with 4+ years of related experience.
