Responsibilities
- Own SMT process architecture including line configuration, beat-rate modelling, feeder/nozzle strategy, reflow profile definition, and SPI/AOI/AXI inspection methodology.
- Review RFQs, BOMs, drawings, specifications, and customer requirements to define a compliant, costed, and executable manufacturing solution.
- Develop manufacturing estimates covering cycle times, capacity, resource loading, equipment/tooling requirements, NRE, capex, lead times, and implementation milestones.
- Define process assumptions, risks, dependencies, exclusions, and mitigation actions, ensuring alignment with bid and costing requirements.
- Evaluate manufacturing feasibility, equipment selection, and make-versus-buy options while supporting supplier technical assessments.
- Establish process acceptance criteria, validation plans, and handover deliverables for NPI and production execution.
- Drive cross-functional alignment across engineering, quality, test, automation, operations, supply chain, and finance to ensure solution integrity.
- Prepare technical justifications,



process calculations, and supporting evidence for proposal reviews, customer clarifications, and management approvals.

Qualifications
