  • Program and support off-the-shelf automated PCB assembly equipment (e.g., Mycronic MY300, MYDATA MY19)
  • Review engineering files and configure machine programs for accurate component placement and execution
  • Validate programs through controlled runs and documented process verification
  • Manually feed PCBs during setup, validation, and troubleshooting to verify programs and resolve issues
  • Initiate and monitor machine runs via computer interface (keyboard/screen)
  • Observe machine operation through protective glass enclosures with safety interlocks
  • Partner with production operators, who handle routine day-to-day machine operation
  • Lead complex PCB-level troubleshooting and defect analysis
  • Diagnose placement, solder, and process-related issues
  • Implement corrective actions and return optimized programs to production
  • Partner with design teams to conduct DFM reviews
  • Provide actionable feedback to ensure PCB designs are optimized for automated assembly
  • Develop and maintain PCB assembly and process documentation
  • Mentor junior engineers and technicians
