DFM PCBA Engineer

What you'll do

• Conduct DFM reviews of rigid and flexible PCBA designs to provide actionable feedback to design teams.
• Optimize manufacturing processes, including process flows, assembly materials, panel array designs, and critical parameters.
• Develop and implement internal guidelines and best practices for PCB design and assembly across product lines.
• Execute Design of Experiments (DOEs) and test builds to establish manufacturing boundary conditions and validate new technologies.
• Lead root cause and failure analysis investigations using advanced techniques like X-ray, SEM/EDS, and cross-sectioning.
• Assess and verify the technical capabilities of PCB assembly vendors to identify potential risks.
• Establish design rules and formulas to ensure the creation of manufacturable component land patterns.
• Use internal LLM tools and automation to streamline decision-making in design and manufacturing workflows.

What we're looking for

• Bachelor's or Master's degree in an engineering discipline or equivalent practical experience.
• 3+ years of relevant experience in PCBA, electronic assembly, or a related field.
• Strong understanding of engineering fundamentals including material science, thermodynamics, and mechanical engineering principles.
• Ability to travel internationally up to 25%.
• Familiarity with advanced soldering methods (reflow, wave, selective, robotic, laser solder jetting, hotbar soldering) (preferred).
• Deep understanding of PCBA material selection considerations such as solder alloys, fluxes, epoxies, and coatings (preferred).
• Knowledge of PCB Fabrication, Flexible PCB Fabrication, and First-Level Interconnect (FLI) Si Packaging processes (preferred).
• Experience with common PCBA inspection/test techniques, industry standards, or statistical process control software (preferred).
