Join to apply for the Ramp Modules Engineer (SMT) role with a focus on process improvement in the ramp and production operation for Power Module packages. This is a challenging, energetic engineering role with a passion for process improvement and cross-functional collaboration.

• Process optimizations through setting up, programming, and troubleshooting SMT machines (epoxy/glue/underfill dispense, screen printers, pick-and-place machines, reflow ovens and AOI machines).
• Ensure quality control by evaluating the quality of finished products, identifying defects, and implementing corrective/preventive solutions.
• Troubleshoot, diagnose and resolve issues related to SMT equipment, processes, and materials.
• Lead process improvement by identifying areas for improvement in the SMT process, implementing changes, and monitoring effectiveness/efficiency.
• Identify, characterize, assess and qualify alternate materials, BOMs and suppliers as part of cost initiatives and BCP/sourcing strategy.
• Create and maintain process documentation, including work instructions, standard operating procedures, training materials, PFMEA and process control plans.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams (design/packaging, quality, manufacturing, other engineers) to address issues and improve overall manufacturing efficiency.
• Train operators, technicians and engineers on SMT equipment usage, SOP and troubleshooting procedures.
• Implement CIP and initiatives to improve efficiency and eliminate non-value-added processes.
• Track Yield/DPPM/LRR, analyze and disposition yield issues/defects.
• Own costs for process consumables, track usage factors and drive cost-saving projects.

• Preferred qualifications: Bachelor’s degree in Engineering.
• Strong analytical and technical problem-solving skills.
• Good time management and ability to deliver tasks on time; able to work in a fast-paced, rapidly changing environment; self-starting and results-driven.
• Team player with ability to work with management and external stakeholders/suppliers; strong relationship-building.
• Keen attention to detail; ability to multitask on complex tasks.
• Broad knowledge and experience in SMT line, power modules packaging or component attach processes; technical ability to understand material characteristics, perform risk assessments, and qualify processes.
• Hands-on skills to operate machines and knowledge to down-select materials, optimize processes and improve yield.
• Good oral and written communication skills.
• Proficiency in Microsoft Office (PowerPoint, Excel, Word); data mining and organizational skills with office tools. Knowledge of data mining, analytical and statistical tools (e.g., Spotfire, SQL, JMP) is an advantage.
