SMT Engineer / Technician

• Manage and optimize SMT production processes to achieve production, quality, yield and efficiency targets.
• Set up, program and optimize SMT equipment including solder paste printer, SPI, pick-and-place machine, reflow oven and AOI.
• Monitor SMT process parameters and perform process troubleshooting and root cause analysis for production issues.
• Analyze defects such as solder bridging, insufficient solder, solder balls, tombstoning, component misalignment and open/short defects.
• Optimize solder paste printing, placement accuracy and reflow profiles to improve product quality.
• Monitor and improve SMT yield, OEE, cycle time, machine utilization and process capability.
• Conduct preventive maintenance, calibration and troubleshooting of SMT equipment in collaboration with the maintenance team.
• Support New Product Introduction (NPI), line setup, process validation and transfer of new products into mass production.
• Develop and maintain SMT programs, machine settings, process specifications and work instructions.
• Work closely with Production, Quality, Maintenance and NPI teams to resolve manufacturing issues.
• Conduct DOE, continuous improvement and cost-reduction activities to improve manufacturing efficiency.
• Perform failure analysis and corrective/preventive actions (CAPA) for recurring SMT defects.
• Ensure SMT processes comply with relevant quality, ESD, safety and manufacturing requirements.
• Prepare and maintain engineering documentation, process reports and improvement records.
• Train technicians and production operators on SMT processes and equipment where required.

Requirements:

• Bachelor’s Degree in Electrical/Electronics Engineering, Mechatronics, Manufacturing Engineering or equivalent.
• 2–5 years of experience in SMT/electronics manufacturing is preferred.
• Strong hands-on knowledge ofSMT processes and PCB assembly.
• Experience with SPI, AOI, pick-and-place, solder paste printer and reflow oven.
• Knowledge of SMT programming, reflow profiling and process optimization.
• Good understanding of PCB assembly defects and troubleshooting techniques.
• Experience in root cause analysis, SPC, DOE and continuous improvement is an advantage.
• Knowledge of IPC standards, ESD control and quality systems is preferred.
• Good analytical, problem-solving and communication skills.
• Able to work closely with cross-functional teams and support production requirements.
