Role Overview:

SME - Pick n Place / Mounter is responsible for overseeing, optimizing & continuously improving processes to ensure on-time manufacturing with high quality of all ISP Products. Also to handle end to end machine setup , programming , trouble shooting and process optimization in PCB assembly

The role is accountable for process yield, reliability, cost saving while building strong cross functional alignment with NPI & TD, equipment, quality and customer teams.

Responsibilities:

Technology & Process Setup

Define and maintain all process windows, control plans & CTQ across all products of PnP.

Setup, Operate, Programming & Optimizing PnP machines.

Conduct DOE & Process validation for new products and materials.

Perform feeder loading , nozzle selection & calibration.

Optimize component placement accuracy and speed.

Create & modify machine programs using online/offline SW.

Optimize cycle time and improve placement efficiency.

Perform Penalization and coordinate transformation.

Validate BOM , Centroid file and Gerber data before production.





New Model Readiness

Develop & Maintain Process documentation, WIs & SOPs (Pick n Place / Mounter)

All new models trail pre-readiness (EVT/ DVT / PVT) , new model trail activities including trial builds & process validation.

Load & verify machine programs for Current Product Trail.

Conduct First Article Inspection.

Partner with NPI, TDG to ensure DFMEA and PFMEA of Pink n Place / Mounter.

Ensure proper solder paste reflow per component and PCB design requirements

Ensure smooth technology transfer from development to production.
