The SMT Engineer specializing in automated inspection solutions:
- Dip optical Inspection process, experience programming and DIP optical Inspection machines for new products.
- Will own the deployment, programming, optimization, and lifecycle support of automated inspection systems (AOI, SPI, AXI/3D X‑ray, vision systems) for PCBA production.
Key responsibilities
- Specify, program, validate, and optimize automated inspection systems (2D/3D AOI, SPI, AXI/X‑ray, inline vision).
- Create and maintain inspection recipes, libraries, and rule-sets to detect solder, component, placement and polarity, lifted leads, tombstoning, solder bridging, and solder joint defects.
- Perform system installations, upgrades, calibrations, and preventive maintenance; coordinate vendor service and spare-parts management.
- Integrate inspection equipment data and events with MES/MOM, traceability systems, and PLCs; define pass/fail criteria and feedback loops for inline process control.
- Tune inspection sensitivity and disposition logic to balance false fails vs escapes; validate inspection performance via KPI analysis and DOE.
- Lead first-article inspections, process qualifications, and inspection validations for new products and process changes.
- Conduct root-cause investigations of defects identified by inspection, perform containment actions, develop corrective actions, and lead continuous-improvement projects (PFMEA, CAPA, 8D).
- Provide on-the-floor support for SMT line issues (pick‑and‑place, stencil, reflow, dispensing) as they relate to inspection results.
- Create/update work instructions, test plans, and inspection documentation; train operators and technicians on inspection equipment and good inspection practices.
- Collaborate with suppliers, automation integrators, and cross-functional teams on tooling, fixturing, and line layout for optimal inspection coverage.
- Maintain version control for inspection recipes and ensure change-management and traceability practices are followed.
Required qualifications
- Degree in Electrical/Electronic Engineering, Mechatronics, Automation, Optics, Physics, or equivalent technical diploma plus relevant experience.
- Advanced English
- 2+ years’ hands-on experience with automated inspection systems in high-mix or high-volume PCBA manufacturing (AOI, SPI, AXI/X‑ray, vision).
- Practical experience programming and tuning AOI/SPI/AXI platforms and vision libraries; familiarity with major vendor platforms (e.g., Koh Young, Nordson/Viscom, Omron, Mirtec, Saki, CyberOptics, Cognex) — or ability to learn quickly.
- Knowledge of IPC standards (IPC-A-610, J‑STD‑001, IPC-7095) and solder/join reliability fundamentals.
- Excellent written and verbal communication; experience training operators and documenting procedures.
