SMT Technician (PCBA SMD Line)

As a Senior SMT Technician at ePropelled, you will be responsible for managing and supporting SMT production lines for PCBA manufacturing. Your role will include machine programming, process optimization, troubleshooting, and ensuring high-quality PCB assembly output. Key Responsibilities: - SMT Line Operations & Programming - Program and operate SMT production line equipment including Pick & Place machines and AOI systems. - Create and optimize Pick & Place programs based on PCB Gerber and BOM data. - Setup feeders, nozzle selection, and component library management. - Perform line changeover and setup for new product builds. - Process Monitoring & Troubleshooting - Monitor SMT line performance and ensure smooth production flow. - Identify and resolve production issues such as solder defects and missing parts. - Perform root-cause analysis for recurring defects and implement corrective actions. - Support rework and repair activities when required. - Quality & Yield Improvement - Ensure compliance with IPC-A-610 quality standards. - Work closely with QA and production teams to improve First Pass Yield (FPY). - Analyze defect trends and implement process improvements. - Conduct in-process inspection and validation checks. - Maintenance & Support - Perform preventive maintenance and basic troubleshooting of SMT equipment. - Coordinate with OEM/service engineers for machine calibration and repairs. - Maintain machine logs, production records, and maintenance reports. Qualification Required: - 46 years of hands-on experience in SMT/PCBA manufacturing. - Strong expertise in SMT machine programming and understanding of PCB assembly process. - Experience in defect analysis and troubleshooting SMT production issues. - Knowledge of PCB fabrication data (Gerber, BOM, Centroid files). - Familiarity with ESD safety standards, IPC-A-610 quality standards, and cleanroom practices. - Ability to optimize production yield and reduce defects. In addition to the technical skills and experience required for this role, you should have strong analytical and troubleshooting skills, the ability to work in a shift-based production environment, good communication and coordination abilities with cross-functional teams, and a high attention to detail with a quality-focused mindset.
