About the Job

Requirements

  • At least three years of SMT or PCBA process engineering experience, with the ability to independently manage production-line processes.
  • Ability to set, debug, and optimize parameters across SMT solder-paste printing, placement programming, and reflow temperature profiles.
  • Ability to debug programs and control processes for Eberhand automatic pin-insertion equipment; experience with Eberhand equipment is preferred.
  • Ability to set process parameters and control quality for Sunil pin-insertion equipment; experience with Sunil equipment is preferred.
  • Experience in conformal coating processes, including film-thickness, leveling, and coverage control.
  • Experience optimizing wave-soldering temperature profiles, flux parameters, and soldering quality.
  • Automotive electronics SMT process experience is preferred.
  • Familiarity with IATF 16949 requirements and knowledge of APQP, PPAP, PFMEA, SPC, and MSA are preferred.
  • Experience with automotive-grade products such as HNS, low-voltage fuse boxes, PDU/BDU, or IDU is preferred.
  • Experience serving Japanese customers and familiarity with their working styles and quality requirements are preferred.
  • Familiarity with Japanese customer audit processes, report formats, and communication methods is preferred.
  • Toyota customer project experience is preferred.
  • Japanese-language ability for work communication is an advantage, but is not required.
  • Bachelor's degree or higher in Electronics, Mechanical Engineering, Automation, Materials Engineering, or a related major.
  • Proficiency with Office software and basic process-data statistical analysis.
  • Ability to work overtime as needed and in a production-line environment.

Responsibilities

  • Manage end-to-end SMT processes, including parameter setting and optimization for solder-paste printing, component placement, and reflow soldering.
  • Debug programs and control processes for Eberhand and Sunil automatic or semi-automatic pin-insertion processes.
  • Set parameters, control film thickness, and manage quality for conformal coating processes.
  • Optimize wave-soldering parameters, manage temperature profiles, and improve soldering quality.
  • Design process plans for SMT and PCBA during new product introduction, track trial production, and close process issues.
  • Prepare and maintain process technical documents, including standard operating procedures, control plans, and process failure mode and effects analysis documents.
  • Monitor production-line yield, lead analysis of defects such as cold solder joints, solder bridging, tombstoning, misalignment, and missing components, develop corrective actions, and track their effectiveness.
  • Use statistical process control and process capability indices such as Cpk to monitor key process parameters and improve capability.
  • Participate in customer and system audits, including IATF 16949 audits, and respond to and correct process-related findings.
  • Communicate and report on process technical issues to customers, especially Japanese customers.
  • Participate in customer sample builds and assess and implement engineering changes, including ECN/ECO.
  • Support the quality department with process analysis and improvement for customer complaints, including 8D reports.
  • Assess requirements for production-line tooling, fixtures, and stencils, and inspect and accept them.
  • Train production-line operators and technicians on process methods.
  • Perform other duties assigned by the supervisor.

Desired Qualifications

  • Experience serving Japanese customers, including familiarity with their work style, quality expectations, audit processes, report formats, and communication methods.
  • Ability to communicate in Japanese for work purposes.
  • Experience with Toyota customer projects.

Aptiv

Automotive electronics and software platform provider

Aptiv provides the electronic brain and nervous system for modern vehicles, powering features from active safety to software-defined vehicle architecture. Its products sit in the car’s electronics stack, enabling connectivity, advanced safety, electrification, and autonomous capabilities through computer modules, software, and embedded systems. Unlike traditional auto parts suppliers, Aptiv focused its business on high-tech automotive electronics and software, after spinning off its legacy powertrain unit in 2017 and rebranding from Delphi. It expands its capabilities through strategic acquisitions such as nuTonomy (self-driving tech) in 2017 and Wind River (edge software) in 2022, and created Motional, a joint venture with Hyundai to commercialize autonomous driving. Aptiv’s goal is to be a leading technology partner for automakers by delivering the core intelligence for next-generation vehicles, including safety, connectivity, electrification, and autonomous driving.
