Coordinates project planning, staffing, progress reporting, people management and troubleshooting for engineering projects. Ensures project results meet requirements regarding technical quality, reliability, schedule and cost.

ESSENTIAL DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES - Lead the implementation of complex and/or large engineering projects, understanding and driving regulatory and compliance certifications as appropriate (e.g., ISO9000, ISO14000, AS9100, TUV), including those applicable to SMT manufacturing environments.

- Participate and may lead product or manufacturing development meetings, making recommendations for change, with emphasis on SMT process optimization and new product introduction (NPI).
- In conjunction with project teams, implement best practices for equipment and manufacturing layout for maximum efficiency and cycle time optimization, including SMT lines (printer, pick & place, reflow, AOI, SPI).
- Lead complex projects relating to new technical developments and processes, including SMT process development, transfer, and validation.
- Control project budget.
- Provide engineered solutions to complex equipment problems, including troubleshooting of SMT equipment and processes.
- Deliver quotes for projects including new equipment costs, labor, maintenance costs, etc., such as SMT equipment and tooling.
- Drive continuous improvement and optimization utilizing proactive methodologies and trend analysis, focused on yield,



quality, and defects reduction in SMT processes.
- Assess the adequacy of data gathering methods utilized by the teams, including SMT process metrics and SPC data.
- During project implementation, lead the preparation, monitoring and evaluation of equipment set-ups, manufacturing layout, and process changes and/or corrective actions, particularly for SMT production lines.
- Assess manufacturing and engineering capabilities; identifying and suggesting solutions for any immediate need or enhancements, including SMT capacity and capability gaps.
- Provide ongoing direction and training on process development, root cause analysis and systematic problem solving, with emphasis on SMT-related defects and failure modes.
- Drive proactive participation with suppliers and (when possible) aid in their process improvement efforts, especially SMT component, stencil, and equipment suppliers.
- Interface and provide technical support on quality issues with customers as needed, including SMT-related quality concerns.
- Assist Design Engineers with Design for Manufacture issues, including Design for SMT (DFSM) guidelines.
