Electronics Manufacturing Engineer

The role

You will manage the intersection of PCB design and production. You will perform DFM reviews, own the SMT/PCBA process, and act as a liaison between electrical engineering and the production floor.

What you will do

• Perform DFM review of PCB designs including layouts, footprints, and stack-ups.
• Run systematic, rule-based DFM/DFA checks with automated tooling.
• Partner with electrical engineering to build test coverage and access into designs.
• Uphold DFM rule sets and manufacturing best practices.
• Ensure manufacturing output packages are complete and manufacturable.
• Own SMT/PCBA process engineering for the in-house line.
• Bring up, verify, and debug boards on the bench.
• Partner with electrical engineering through NPI.
• Act as engineering-production liaison between electrical engineering and the production floor.
• Serve as the manufacturing-engineering interface to external contract manufacturers.

Required qualifications

• Associate's or Bachelor's in Electrical Engineering Technology (EET), Electrical or Manufacturing Engineering, or a related field or equivalent hands-on experience.
• 4+ years in electronics/PCBA manufacturing engineering, with hands-on ownership of an SMT line and its process.
• Demonstrated DFM/DFA expertise.
• Fluency with IPC standards (IPC-A-610, IPC-7351, IPC-2221, J-STD-001).
• Ability to read and interpret schematics, PCB layouts, fabrication and assembly drawings, BOMs, and stack-ups.
• Hands-on command of the SMT process: reflow profiling, stencil/paste, placement, SPI/AOI, and rework.
• Hands-on with DFM-check tooling (Valor, CAM350, Allegro DFM, or equivalent).
• Design-for-test (DFT) fluency.
• Hands-on electrical test and measurement with oscilloscopes, multimeters, and bench instruments.
• Experience preparing and reviewing manufacturing output packages for handoff to internal lines and/or external CMs.
• A constructive, direct communication style.

Nice to have

• ECAD fluency (Altium, Cadence/Allegro, KiCad)
• Experience standing up or scaling an in-house SMT line, or transitioning boards between internal and contract manufacturing.
• CAM/DFM tooling depth (Valor, CAM350, Allegro DFM) and experience building or maintaining automated DFM rule decks.
• Automated/functional test (ATE) experience; National Instruments/LabVIEW, Pico Technology, or equivalent.
• Robotics, automotive, aerospace, medical, or other precision/high-reliability electronics backgrounds.
• Lean/Six Sigma and SPC on an SMT line.
• Familiarity with ERP/MES and PLM systems.

Benefits

• Employee Stock Options
• Paid time off
• Medical/dental/vision insurance
• Life insurance
• Disability insurance
• 401(k)
