  • Master Quality & RCCA: Driving zero-defect quality through rigorous RCCA and uncompromising IPC, RoHS, and customer standards.
  • Execute Lean Initiatives: Drive 6S layout improvements, GEMBA walks, SMED/changeover optimizations, and continuous improvement projects to eliminate waste.
  • Solve Technical Challenges: Partner with Process Engineering to solve complex production bottlenecks, equipment downtime, and high-mix/high-volume scheduling changes.

Job Requirements:

  • Education: Bachelor’s degree in Engineering, Electronics, or Industrial Management required.
  • Experience: 10 years of progressive production leadership in PCBA / EMS manufacturing environments.
  • SMT Expertise: Hands-on technical knowledge of screen printing, SPI, pick-and-place systems, reflow profiling, AOI, and X-ray inspection.
  • Standards & Systems: Solid expertise in IPC-A-610 standards, Lean/Six Sigma methodologies, and modern MES/ERP platforms.

Why Join Us?
