Location: San Jose, CA
Status: full-time direct hire, 100% on site
Compensation: $70,000 to $90,000 DOE

The Industrial Engineer is specifically responsible for developing and supporting the production process of all assembly operations. This role will work part of a team to design for manufacturing (DFM), perform production yield and efficiency improvements, and tooling design. This role will directly support equipment and processes needed for PCBA production.

Job Responsibilities Include:

• Optimize and configure processes and equipment for building surface mount electronics assemblies.
• Perform design of experiments (DOE) to optimize SMT process yield.
• Specify equipment requirements for new PCBA build processes.
• Develop design for manufacturability (DFM) guidelines for PCBA Designs.
• Provide solutions to streamline circuit board assembly and test processes.
• Reflow soldering, Selective soldering, and Conformal coating
• Facilitate a close relationship with the engineering team during design, build, and test to provide design feedback
• Lead efforts to uncover root-cause and develop a permanent resolution on issues found during production
• Develop a robust set of test machinery that includes critical spares for ensuring complete uptime.
• Determine schedule impacts for unforeseen design or process changes in production
• Provide clear communication between the design engineering team and the production floor
• Concerning product tooling, confer with engineering teams and suppliers to ensure efficient production methods and schedules
• Utilize lean manufacturing tools; recommend improvements in production methods, standards, tooling, equipment, layout, procedures, product designs, and employee efficiency
• Support the transition of products from development to volume production
• Work with the design team in response to manufacturing problems, parts obsolescence, and minor requirement changes
• Prepare and maintain documentation required to ensure efficient production
• Participate in design reviews to conduct DFM and DFT recommendations with innovative and cost-effective solutions.
• Other Duties as Assigned.

Education Requirements and Ideal Experience Includes:

• Bachelor's degree in Industrial, Manufacturing Engineering or Engineering Degree
• 2+ years of direct experience working in SMT or PCBA process engineering desired.
• Hands on experience with optimizing SMT pick and place, reflow oven, conformal coating, or through hole soldering systems
• Strong work ethic and a drive to succeed is required.
• Ability to work in a fast paced, autonomously driven, and demanding start-up atmosphere.
• Excellent communication skills, both written and verbal are required.
• Must have the flexibility to work extended hours and/or off shifts in support of production demands as needed.
