Join our team as a Manufacturing Engineering Lead (SMT) and drive fabrication excellence across complex, high-performance hardware systems. In this role, you will collaborate closely with electrical engineers, PCBA layout designers, and fabrication partners to ensure world-class quality, yield, reliability, and scalability. You will lead SMT process development and qualification at contract manufacturers, drive continuous improvement initiatives, and lead failure analysis for fabrication-related defects. This position offers a competitive salary, equity, and comprehensive benefits.
About the role
- Strong understanding of SI/PI-driven fabrication constraints, including high-speed channel routing, low-loss material selection, copper roughness impact, and power delivery integrity - Experience driving comprehensive PCBA DFM reviews covering stack-ups, drill structures, annular ring design, aspect ratios, copper balancing, panelization strategy, and fabrication tolerances - Experience supporting L6–L11 data center compute platforms, HPC systems, or high-layer-count server motherboards and accelerator PCBAsKey missions
- Drive fabrication excellence across complex, high-performance hardware systems, ensuring world-class quality, yield, reliability, and scalability.
- Collaborate closely with electrical engineers, PCBA layout designers, and fabrication partners to influence designs from early architecture through mass production.
- Lead SMT process development and qualification at contract manufacturer (CM), and drive continuous improvement initiatives to enhance fabrication yield, reliability, and cost structure.
