Key Responsibilities1. Client File Review & Quotation

- Review client design files (Gerbers, BOM, pick-and-place/centroid, assembly drawings, schematics) for completeness and manufacturability.
- Identify missing information, ambiguities or DFM/DFA concerns, and clarify them with the client before quoting.
- Obtain quotes for:
- Components: full BOM pricing across multiple distributors, including availability, MOQ, lead times and alternates.
- PCB fabrication: layer count, material, thickness, copper weight, finish, impedance control and other specs.
- PCB assembly: SMT, THT, mixed assembly, stencils and inspection.
- Special processes: LED soldering, wire/harness soldering, connectors, conformal coating, potting, enclosures.
- Identify requirements for programming, functional testing, calibration or other value-added services, and include them in the quote.
- Prepare accurate, well-structured quotations for clients with clear cost breakups and lead times.

2. Order Execution (Confirmed Orders)

- Procure the complete PCB BOM by comparing multiple sources (authorised distributors, local suppliers, brokers where appropriate) on price, availability, authenticity and lead time.
- Suggest and validate alternate/equivalent parts when components are obsolete, long-lead or out of stock, and get client approval where needed.
- Place and track fabrication orders with PCB manufacturers.
- Place and track assembly orders with EMS/assembly partners, and ensure kits, files and instructions are complete.
- Decide which work is done in-house versus outsourced (e.g., rework, LED/wire soldering, programming, testing) and plan it accordingly.

3. Internal Coordination

- Coordinate with internal teams for in-house assembly, soldering, programming, testing and QC.
- Share clear work instructions, test requirements and timelines with the internal team.
- Maintain order trackers covering component status, fab status, assembly status and dispatch.

4.



Vendor Management & Technical Support

- Act as the technical interface with fabrication and assembly vendors, answering design, stackup, footprint, polarity, orientation and assembly queries.
- Review and approve engineering queries (EQs), fab/assembly DFM reports and first-article samples.
- Build and maintain a reliable network of component, fabrication and assembly vendors, domestic and international.
- Negotiate pricing, lead times and payment terms.

5. Quality & Troubleshooting

- Inspect received bare boards and assembled PCBs for defects.
- Troubleshoot issues on received boards (soldering defects, wrong/missing parts, shorts, opens, polarity errors, fab defects) using basic lab equipment.
- Perform root-cause analysis on quality issues and coordinate rework, replacement or vendor corrective action.

6. End-to-End Ownership

- Own each PCB order from enquiry to delivery, making sure it is on time, on budget and to the required quality.
- Proactively flag risks (shortages, delays, cost overruns) to clients and management.
- Maintain documentation: quotes, POs, BOM versions, vendor communication, test reports.

Required Qualifications & Skills

- Strong knowledge of electronic components: packages, part numbering, datasheets, alternates, lifecycle status (active/NRND/EOL).
- Hands-on experience with debugging tools such as multimeter, oscilloscope, power supply and soldering station.
- Basic understanding of firmware programming/flashing and functional testing of boards.

Sourcing Knowledge

- Experience with component distributors (e.g., Digi-Key, Mouser, LCSC, Element14, Arrow, and local suppliers).
- Experience working with PCB fab and assembly houses (domestic and/or overseas).
- Understanding of import processes, customs, lead times and logistics is a plus.
