Salary: $100,000.00 USD Annually - $110,000.00 USD Annually
Description:
About the Role:

As an NPI Project Engineer, you will be responsible for taking advanced products through various stages of New Product Introduction (NPI) development by working cross functionally across multiple teams. In addition to early involvement with product design team on design for manufacturability, you will also be evaluating and justifying for production readiness and release.

This job will have the following responsibilities:

• Will work NPI products that are designed and built using in house highly automated lines working with technologies such as multi-layer high density PCB designs, leading edge SMT assembly, advanced packaging magnetics assembly, thermal transfer molding, state of the art PCB processing/plating fabrication, laser marking, singulation, and test.
• Works closely with Mechanical and PCB layout groups.
• Participates early on in product development design reviews providing feedback on manufacturability and helps incorporate latest technology advancements and design rules.
• Develop approaches and plans on how to assemble and build new products.
• Works closely with the Manufacturing Engineering and Process Engineering teams on what is needed to execute the new design builds.
• Propose and execute design of experiments to develop and verify process improvements while identifying and developing new processes and equipment required for successful introduction of new products.
• Interfaces with Quality, Reliability, and Analytical testing lab for NPI efforts.
• Investigate problems, determine root causes, and implement corrective and preventative actions
• Works closely with Program Management, Planning, Manufacturing, and Quality to ensure NPI effort is tracking, progressing and meeting customer shipments and expectations.
• Working knowledge and use of SPC data to ensure the highest yields, throughput, and lowest cost. Team will be using Six Sigma tools such as PFMEAs to implement meaningful process controls.
• Written and oral presentations on NPI materials.
• Supports the organizational goal of Automotive Readiness in preparation for IATF 16949 Certification.
• Initiate and approve manufacturing documentation and ECO's

Qualifications & Requirements:

• Bachelor's Degree in Mechanical, Chemical, Materials Science, Industrial or Manufacturing Engineering. Master's degree is a plus.
• 3-5 years' experience with electronics packaging and/or manufacturing.
• Strong fundamental knowledge and ability to analyze high volume, high density SMT processes. Skills include sound understanding of Solder Stencil Printing, Pick and Place, SPI, AOI, reflow and PCB cleaning.
• As an NPI Packaging Engineer familiar with PCB reviews tools such as Altium and GC-CAM EDIT, to help provide feedback on PCB designs would be desirable. OJT training available for candidates.
• Basic abilities using design-based software systems for review and small modifications. Examples include Solid Works, or Auto CAD.
• Experience with the Automotive Requirements such as IATF 16949 Certification, PPAP, BIQ, FTQ is beneficial, but our in-house Automotive team helps train the right candidate.
• Will be work with advanced packaging and processing strategies for system in a package device (SIP) incorporating high layer count laminate (PCB) and ceramic substrates, ferrites, flip chips, BGA's, lead-free soldering, MSL, transfer molding and encapsulation- Experience with these materials is a plus.
• Ability to understand/create tolerance stack ups for assemblies and part level.
• Solid understanding of Design of Experiments (DOE), GD&T, SPC techniques.
• Basic understanding statistical software tools such as Minitab. Green Belt/Black Belt certification is a plus.
• Appreciation for materials interactions and selections for best product designs.
• Good hands-on engineering skills and previous experience working on production equipment or designing products.
• Excellent writing, organizational skills related to project management.
