Process Optimization and Cost Management:

  • Work with vendors to implement cost-saving initiatives, such as alternative material sourcing, process automation, and design-for-manufacturability (DFM) improvements.
  • Benchmark vendor performance and capabilities to ensure competitive pricing without compromising quality.

Risk Mitigation and Problem Solving:

  • Lead root cause analyses (RCAs) for SMT production issues and collaborate with vendors to implement corrective and preventive actions (CAPAs).
  • Monitor vendor capacity and technical capabilities to proactively address risks related to supply shortages, equipment downtime, or technology obsolescence.
  • Stay up-to-date on advancements in SMT technology and recommend adoption of innovative solutions to enhance vendor production efficiency.

Collaboration and Communication:

  • Work closely with internal R&D, engineering, and procurement teams to align on technical requirements and supplier capabilities.
  • Provide regular updates to stakeholders on vendor performance, technical challenges, and improvement initiatives.
  • Support new product introductions (NPI) by ensuring vendors are technically capable of meeting design and manufacturing requirements.

How you will stand out:

  • Bachelor's degree in Electronics Engineering, Manufacturing Engineering, or a related field.
  • 10+ years of experience in SMT manufacturing, supplier management, or a similar role.
  • Proficiency in data analysis tools, ERP systems, and manufacturing execution systems (MES).
  • Proven experience in vendor management, including contract negotiation, performance evaluations, and supply chain optimization.
  • Deep technical knowledge of SMT processes, including solder paste printing, pick-and-place programming, reflow profiling, wave soldering, and AOI/X-ray inspection techniques.
  • Familiarity with SMT equipment from leading manufacturers (e.g., ASM, Fuji, Panasonic, or Juki) and related software tools.
  • Strong understanding of design-for-manufacturability (DFM) principles and experience working with engineering teams on PCB layout optimizations.
  • Strong technical acumen and ability to analyze complex manufacturing processes.
  • Leadership and negotiation skills to manage vendor relationships effectively.
  • Problem-solving mindset with attention to detail and results orientation.
  • Excellent communication and cross-functional collaboration abilities.
  • Certification in Six Sigma, lean manufacturing, or quality assurance (e.g., IPC certification) is preferred.
  • Experience working with international vendors and knowledge of global supply chain logistics is preferred.
  • Knowledge of advanced manufacturing technologies, such as Industry 4.0 solutions, AI-driven inspection tools, and robotics in SMT is preferred.

What you will experience working with us:

  • A culture that values authenticity and diversity of thoughts and backgrounds;
  • An inclusive and respectable environment with open workspaces and exciting start-up spirit;
  • Fast-growing company with the chance to network with industrial pioneers and enthusiasts;
