Essential Job Duties and Responsibilities

A. NPI & Early Lifecycle Engineering (Primary Ownership)

- Provide deep technical guidance on PCB fabrication, PCBA assembly, and SMT processes for all new products introduced at the site.
- Review design packages from Product/R&D; teams for DFM and process risk identification.
- Evaluate PCB stack-ups, material selection, controlled impedance structures, surface finishes,



and SMT component risks that could impact assembly processes or HS signal performance.
- Approve PCB/A supplier process readiness for pre-production builds (EVT/DVT/PVT).
- Support MPDE engineers during pilot runs, ensuring PCB/A related issues are rapidly identified and corrected.

B. Supplier Qualification, Technical Assessment & Cost Optimization

- Lead technical qualification of PCB and PCBA suppliers in collaboration with Sourcing/Procurement, Supplier Quality, and MPDE.
- Conduct technical audits covering process controls, SMT capability, laminate handling, plating, soldering processes, and IPC/J STD compliance.
- Work closely with Sourcing/Buyers to evaluate new suppliers for cost reduction initiatives, dual sourcing strategy, and supply base strengthening.
- Evaluate and compare supplier cost structures driven by processes, materials, yields, and manufacturing technologies.

C. Manufacturing Support & Sustaining Engineering Alignment

- Act as the escalation technical expert for PCB/A issues affecting yield, assembly processes, or field returns during mass production.
- Work with Manufacturing Engineering to analyze recurring defects, process escapes, handling-related issues, or PCBAs failures.
- Recommend process adjustments, inspection criteria improvements, or supplier procedural changes to prevent recurrence.
- Support transition/handoff of new products from MPDE to Sustaining.

D. Quality Assurance, Supplier Quality & Compliance

- Partner with QA/SQE to establish incoming inspection criteria, control plans, and acceptance standards for PCB/A materials.
- Provide expertise during supplier non-conformance investigations and SCAR closure.
- Ensure supplier conformity to applicable industry standards.
- Support Quality during customer audits.

E. Failure Analysis & Technical Problem Solving

- Lead or support cross functional root cause investigations involving PCB/A-related defects.
- Coordinate with suppliers to drive permanent corrective actions.
