Job description
Process Engineer with extensive PCBA experience needed for fast growth manufacturer! Relocation assistance available!
Salary: $160,000 - $200,000 per year
A bit about us
We are seeking a highly technical, hands‑on PCB / PCBA Process Engineer to join a fast‑paced electronics manufacturing environment. This is not a design role—it is a deeply technical, floor‑facing position focused on the chemistry, processes, and real‑time problem‑solving within PCB and PCBA manufacturing. This individual will serve as a go‑to expert and “do‑er”, working side‑by‑side with Production and Engineering teams to optimize processes, troubleshoot issues, and drive quality and yield improvements. This is a high‑visibility role with significant impact across operations.
Why join us
Competitive base salary: $160K – $200K
Relocation assistance available (if applicable)
Full benefits package (medical, dental, vision, 401k, etc.)
Long‑term growth within a highly specialized manufacturing environment
Key Responsibilities
Act as the subject matter expert (SME) for PCB and PCBA manufacturing processes
Provide hands‑on, real‑time troubleshooting of manufacturing defects and process issues
Partner directly with Production and Engineering teams on the manufacturing floor daily
Analyze, diagnose, and disposition non‑conformances and quality issues
Drive improvements in yield, process stability, and overall product quality
Serve as a technical authority on SMT processes and PCB/PCBA manufacturing best practices
Support continuous improvement initiatives across process, materials, and equipment
Required Qualifications
8+ years of direct experience in SMT and PCB/PCBA manufacturing environments
Strong hands‑on background in PCB/PCBA production (not design-focused)
Deep working knowledge of: IPC‑A‑610 (Acceptability of Electronic Assemblies) and IPC‑A‑600 (Acceptability of Printed Boards)
Proven ability to identify, analyze, and resolve manufacturing defects in real time
Experience working on the production floor in a highly technical capacity
Strong understanding of process chemistry and materials involved in PCB/PCBA manufacturing
ITAR eligibility required; experience working in an ITAR‑regulated environment is a strong plus
Preferred Qualifications
Experience in EMS (Electronics Manufacturing Services) environments
Exposure to high‑mix, high‑complexity manufacturing
Demonstrated ability to influence cross‑functional teams without formal authority
Strong communication skills with the ability to translate technical findings into actionable improvements
What Makes This Role Unique
Highly visible, critical‑impact SME position
Opportunity to drive real‑time solutions rather than purely strategic work
Deep collaboration with operations, engineering, and leadership
Ideal for someone who thrives as a hands‑on expert vs. a desk‑based engineer
