Job Description:

PCB Fabrication Specialist

We are seeking a skilled professional with direct experience in PCB fabrication, specifically in the building and creation of blank PCB boards from scratch.
The ideal candidate will have hands-on experience in the fabrication process, including tasks such as soldering, plating, and related activities.

Key Qualifications:

Hands-on experience in PCB fabrication, ideally gained from working at a PCB manufacturing company.
Proficiency in the physical building of blank PCB boards, not just in design or layout.
Understanding of the fabrication process, including soldering and plating.

Extension/Conversion: Definitely possible next year once they get more HC
Travel: Yes up to 50% to Taiwan and Korea
Why is this open: They need additional help with the PBC teams, particularly with traveling to suppliers and helping with engineering issues
Mission: To help the PCB manufacturing teams to ensure the PCBs can get manufactured.

Day to Day: 3 categories

DMF (Design for Manufacturing) Tasks:

Ensure PCB designs are suitable for manufacturing.
Verify correct spacing, layout, and design parameters.
Actively participate in the design process.

Root-Cause Analysis and Troubleshooting:

Not seeking someone focused on PCBA (assembly of components); assembly experience is not required.

PCB Manufacturing Knowledge:

Should have experience in complex PCB manufacturing processes.
Key skills include expertise in: Micro VIA and DFMA (Design for Manufacturability)

Supplier Collaboration:

Experience working with suppliers is essential.
Must have managed PCB fabrication throughout the entire PCB lifecycle, from design to final manufacturing—not just assembly or isolated manufacturing steps.

Technical Proficiency:

Must be familiar with TPM tools such as MS Office and EFM tools.
No specific tool requirement, but must be comfortable working with technology.



Plusses:

Aerospace industry
PCB manufacturing company
Communication skills

Leadership principles:
