Principal Process Engineer, IE PCBA NPI (3-6 months Contract)

Job Purpose:

Industrialized Printed Circuit Board Assemblies (PCBAs) starting from concept, develop, prototype, pilot run and release to mass production in a New Product Introduction (NPI) environment.

Achieve optimum Manufacturing by Design for Manufacturing / Assembly (DFM / DFA) inputs, review of components and material specifications, develop technical processes and tools to support industrialization of PCBAs and establish BoM structure.

Also lead improvement projects of Industrial Engineering and participate as a member in Technology Development projects.

Support strategic ExpressOPS initiative by providing express delivery of new PCBAs samples for new product innovations.

Major Accountabilities

You are a Subject Matter Expert and responsible for ensuring manufacturing feasibility study is done before accepting PCBAs for industrialization.

You are responsible to provide R&D with DFM / DFA inputs, review component specifications and PCB layout to ensure PCBA are manufacturable with sustainable good quality:

• Participate actively in Risk Assessment (DFMEA & PFMEA) and lead Design of Experiments (DOE)
• Review, develop and setup BoM and product structure for new PCBA
• Provide PCBA manufacturing expertise to Business Unit and Production to meet time to market, quality and cost

You are responsible together with RnD industrialized PCBAs are passing through relevant laboratory and certification tests:

• Develop and implement quality acceptance methods for samples and prototypes with R&D

You are responsible for conceptualize, develop machines and fixtures, and release production processes and parameters in Manufacturing Technologies (SMT / THT):

• Develop work instructions and methods for new PCBA
• Verify new component solderability, process window, zero point, and pad design
• Develop machine programs and qualifying new process parameters for various types of machines in SMT
• Troubleshoot production processes during actual build to achieve good quality for customer

You are a Subject Matter Expert (PCBA), responsible for executing New Technology and Improvement Projects:

• Testing and implementing of new material, new tools and new machines (FAT/SAT) with Technology Development and R&D departments in Technology Project Work Packages
• Participate & implement Technology Work Packages at SEA regional level
• Analyze data, provide solutions for productivity improvement & structured problem solving

You are a part of the Industrial Engineering (IE) Team to deliver PCBA NPI under new ExpressOPS initiatives:

• You are to industrialize new PCBAs and transfer current PCBAs between locations according to company initiatives Product Engineering Process (PEP) and Production to Production (PTP)
• Responsible as a technical lead of End-to-End prototyping needs of PCBA
