Process Engineer

Position summary Maintain accurate bills of materials (BOMs) and item master records, and improve manufacturing processes for SMT, FATP, and related electronics assembly production line. The Process Engineer ensures that production uses the correct materials, revisions and work instructions. The role resolves manufacturing data issues and delivers validated improvements in quality, cycle time, material usage and production efficiency. Manufacturing scope For MLB: Support solder paste printing, component placement, dispensing, reflow, solder paste inspection (SPI), automated optical inspection (AOI) and associated material flow. Work with production equipment including GKG printers, FUJI NXT and Universal placement machines, Holly inspection systems, Anda, Speedline and Asymtek dispensers, and reflow ovens. For FATP: Support automated assembly, production and testing line to ensure continuous production uptime. Work with AME/TE/FAE/IE/MFG x-functional team to help troubleshoot production issue, and perform continuous improvement activities as needed. BOM maintenance Create and maintain manufacturing BOMs in the enterprise resource planning (ERP) system using approved engineering documents. Verify parent and component item numbers, quantities, units of measure, revisions, reference designators where applicable, and assembly relationships. Implement approved engineering change orders (ECOs) with the correct revision and effective date or lot. Coordinate material disposition, work in process and production cutover with Engineering, Planning, Quality and Supply Chain. Maintain approved component alternatives and substitutions through the required change process. Reconcile manufacturing BOMs with released engineering BOMs, drawings and assembly instructions. Investigate BOM discrepancies, missing components, incorrect quantities and material usage variances. Audit BOMs before new product release and periodically during production; document corrections and prevent repeat errors. Item master maintenance Create and maintain assigned item master records. Verify item numbers, descriptions, revisions, units of measure, item types, lifecycle status and required manufacturing attributes against approved source information. Coordinate purchasing, planning, inventory and finance fields with the responsible functions, including make or buy status, lead times, order quantities, storage requirements and costing inputs. Apply item creation and revision rules, check for duplicate records, maintain approved manufacturer part references, and preserve traceability of changes and approvals. Resolve item data errors affecting purchasing, material planning, kitting, inventory transactions or production orders. Coordinate introduction, obsolescence and replacement of items without interrupting approved production configurations.
