KEY RESPONSIBILITIES

A. MANUFACTURING LINE QUALITY OWNERSHIP (SMT OPERATIONS)

* Own end‑to‑end quality performance for assigned SMT manufacturing and
assembly lines.
* Ensure first‑pass yield (FPY), DPPM, and defect rate targets are achieved.
* Monitor line startup, SMT changeovers, and production runs for quality
compliance.
* Ensure operations run within approved SMT process windows and specifications.

B. PROCESS CONTROL & DEFECT PREVENTION

* Implement and maintain process controls for SMT manufacturing, including:

* Control Plans
* PFMEA linkage




* SPC monitoring for SMT‑critical parameters

* Drive defect prevention related to:

* SMT assembly and handling defects
* Soldering and interconnect issues
* Placement, polarity, and orientation defects
* Inspection and test fallout

* Lead root cause analysis using:

* 5‑Why
* Fishbone
* DOE and data‑based analysis

C. INLINE INSPECTION & QUALITY MONITORING

* Interface with SMT inline inspection and test systems, such as:

* SPI, AOI, X‑ray (AXI)
* In‑process and end‑of‑line testing
* Visual inspection and acceptance criteria

* Ensure inspection programs and criteria are:

* Correctly defined
* Controlled and validated
* Aligned with internal SMT standards and customer requirements

* Validate inspection effectiveness and optimize false rejects.

D. NON‑CONFORMANCE & CAPA MANAGEMENT

* Own internal non‑conformances and SMT manufacturing rejects.
* Lead containment, corrective, and preventive actions (CAPA).
* Verify effectivene
