NEOTech's Chatsworth facility runs microelectronics and electronics assembly manufacturing for its customers. This Process Engineer II owns the processes behind that production equipment - screen printer, pick & place, reflow, wave, selective soldering, AOI, and 5DX - developing, optimizing, and sustaining microelectronics assembly processes to meet yield, reliability, and customer requirements.
Hands-on microelectronics process engineering experience is a requirement, not a nice-to-have. The last sourcing round surfaced strong general manufacturing and chemical/industrial process candidates, but none with direct microelectronics or SMT assembly experience - this job description and the sourcing channels should screen for that specifically going forward.
Essential Duties and Responsibilities
- Program, troubleshoot, and maintain manufacturing process equipment referenced in the Summary section.
- Develop, optimize, and sustain microelectronics assembly processes to meet yield, reliability, and customer requirements.
- Support engineering initiatives evaluating solders, fluxes, epoxies, and new equipment installations; recommend solutions both tactically and strategically.
- Monitor and maintain aqueous cleaner and ionic contamination testing equipment to acceptable standards, conforming to customer/IPC requirements.
- Initiate process improvements through evaluation of test/yield data and manufacturing defects, and make adjustments to process equipment accordingly.
- Create, present, and obtain approval for capital investment programs.
- Work with Production to develop and direct opportunities that affect revenues, costs, and processes.
