Summary

We are looking for a highly skilled SMT professional with strong electronics background to coordinate and manage programs related to AOI, SPI, Pick & Place (P&P;), Reflow/Profile, X-ray inspection, and End-of-Line (EOL) rework activities. The role requires deep expertise in SMT processes, machine programming, defect analysis, and cross-functional coordination to ensure high-quality production output.

Key Responsibilities

Program Coordination

- Coordinate complete SMT program setup and validation including:
- AOI (Automated Optical Inspection)

- SPI (Solder Paste Inspection)

- Pick & Place machines

- Reflow oven profiling

- X-ray inspection programs

- Ensure smooth program releases from NPI to mass production.

- Maintain version control and optimization of machine programs.

Process Engineering & Optimization

- Develop, validate, and optimize SMT process parameters.

- Perform solder paste, stencil, and component placement optimization.

- Define and monitor reflow profiles for different PCB assemblies.

- Troubleshoot process issues and improve first-pass yield (FPY).

Inspection & Quality Control

- Create and fine-tune AOI & SPI inspection criteria and libraries.

- Develop X-ray inspection standards for BGA/QFN and critical components.

- Analyze defects such as:
- Solder bridges

- Insufficient/excess solder

- Component misalignment

- Voids and hidden defects

EOL Rework Coordination

- Coordinate End-of-Line (EOL) rework activities.

- Analyze failure modes and root causes.

- Guide rework technicians for complex repairs (BGA, fine-pitch, etc.).

- Ensure rework quality meets IPC standards.





NPI & Documentation

- Support New Product Introduction (NPI) builds.

- Prepare and maintain:
- Work instructions (WI)

- SOPs

- Process flow documents

- Conduct risk assessments and DFx (Design for Manufacturability).

Cross-functional Coordination

- Liaise with production, quality, maintenance, and design teams.

- Support customer requirements and audits.

- Ensure compliance with IPC, ISO, and customer quality standards.

Requirements

Required Skills & Competencies

- Strong knowledge of SMT processes and electronics assembly.

- Hands-on experience with:
- AOI, SPI, P&P; programming

- Reflow profiling tools

- X-ray inspection systems

- Expertise in defect analysis and root cause methodologies (8D, Fishbone, etc.).

- Good understanding of PCB design and electronic components.

- Familiarity with IPC standards (IPC-A-610, IPC-7711/7721).

- Robust analytical and problem-solving skills.

Educational Qualification

- Bachelor’s / Diploma in:
- Electronics Engineering

- Electrical Engineering

- Instrumentation or related field

Experience

- Minimum 5–10 years of experience in SMT/EMS industry.

- Proven experience in program coordination and process engineering.

Preferred Skills

- Experience in high-mix, high-volume production environments.

- Knowledge of MES systems and Industry 4.0 tools.

- Six Sigma / Lean Manufacturing exposure is an advantage.

Key Performance Indicators (KPIs)

- First Pass Yield (FPY)

- Defect per Million Opportunities (DPMO)

- Reduction in rework/rejection rates

- Program stability and downtime reduction
