About the Opportunity

Evantis Talent Solutions is recruiting a Manufacturing Process Engineering Manager for a leading global electronics manufacturing company in Thailand.

This position is ideal for an experienced Senior Process Engineer who has built deep hands-on expertise in SMT, PCBA and NPI and is ready to take greater technical ownership.

Despite the Manager title, this is an Individual Contributor position with no direct reports . The successful candidate will remain highly involved in engineering activities, process development, problem solving, NPI and new technology introduction.

The role reports to a Taiwanese manager, so strong English communication skills are essential.

• Characterize PCB and BGA warpage and support process optimisation
• Develop, characterize and optimise reflow profiles
• Design and optimise stencils to support manufacturing requirements
• Review and validate manufacturing process and tooling requirements
• Review and finalise custom pick-and-place nozzle designs for complex BGA components
• Provide hands-on engineering support during physical process builds and production trials
• Analyse product characteristics and failure-analysis results and prepare detailed engineering reports
• Evaluate NUDD (New, Unique, Different, Difficult) manufacturing processes
