Mô tả Công việc
Role Summary
Ø The SMT Integrator is responsible for aligning product requirements with Surface Mount Technology (SMT) process and manufacturing capabilities.
· This role ensures that new and existing products are efficiently and reliably introduced into SMT production by bridging design, process engineering, and shop-floor operations.
· The specialist optimizes manufacturability, equipment utilization, and process performance while supporting continuous improvement in quality, cost, and delivery.
Duties:
Manufacturing Integration
Ø Act as the technical interface between Product Engineering and SMT Manufacturing.
o Continually discuss with Industrialization, MA and project teams on active projects and their needs
o Understand limitations of various suppliers equipment's/ systems/ platforms
Ø Review new product designs for SMT manufacturability (DFM/DFA).
Ø Translate product requirements into SMT process requirements (stencil design, placement strategy, reflow profile, etc.).
Ø Support New Product Introduction (NPI) from prototype through mass production
Process & Equipment Alignment
Ø Define and validate SMT process flows for new assemblies.
Ø Ensure component packages, PCB layouts, and BOM selections are compatible with existing SMT equipment capabilities
Ø Coordinate programming of SMT machines (pick & place, SPI, AOI, reflow ovens).
Ø Lead line readiness reviews before production release
Technical Problem Solving
Ø Analyze and resolve SMT-related production issues (placement defects, soldering issues, yield loss).
Ø Support root cause analysis and corrective/preventive actions (RCCA)
Ø Work with Quality and PE to improve first-pass yield and reduce defects.
Documentation & Standards
Ø Create and maintain SMT process documentation (Process development report, Process specifications, validation prescription)
Contribute to manufacturing standards for design rules and SMT best practices.
Cross-Functional Collaboration
Ø Participate in design reviews and change management.
Ø Coordinate with Supply Chain regarding component packaging and reel/tray requirements.
Ø Train production and technical staff on product-specific SMT requirements when needed
Continuous Improvement
Ø Identify opportunities to improve cycle time, changeover time, and line efficiency.
Ø Support implementation of new SMT technologies, materials, and equipment.
Ø Contribute to cost-reduction initiatives related to SMT processes.
Authorization:
Ø Approve or reject product designs from an SMT manufacturability standpoint.
Ø Define required SMT process parameters and tooling for new products.
Ø Request design modifications to meet manufacturing capability.
Ø Initiate process trials and engineering builds to validate SMT readiness.
Ø Escalate equipment capability gaps requiring capital investment or upgrades
