Key Responsibilities

- Monitor and ensure quality compliance across SMT manufacturing processes, including solder paste printing, SPI, pick-and-place, reflow soldering, AOI and inspection.

- Conduct process audits and ensure adherence to quality standards and customer-specific requirements.

- Monitor and analyze process defects such as solder bridging, tombstoning, insufficient solder, component misalignment, solder voids and open joints.

- Drive root cause analysis using 5 Why, Fishbone, 8D and CAPA methodologies.

- Monitor SMT process parameters and implement corrective and preventive actions to reduce rejection and rework.

- Coordinate with Production, Process Engineering and Maintenance teams to resolve recurring quality issues.

- Ensure effective implementation of PFMEA, Control Plans, SOPs, Process Flow Diagrams and Work Instructions.

- Monitor quality metrics such as FPY, PPM, DPPM, rejection, rework and process yield.





- Conduct process validation, first-piece approval and change-point verification.

- Handle customer complaints, internal quality concerns and corrective action implementation.

- Ensure calibration and validation of SMT inspection equipment.

- Support continuous improvement initiatives to improve process capability and product reliability.
