This role supports SMT, reflow, AOI/X-ray, selective solder, hand solder, mechanical assembly, and NPI builds by ensuring processes are stable, repeatable, documented, and capable of delivering high yields with minimal rework.\nThis is a hands-on, floor-focused engineering role—Titan expects the Process Engineer to be visible on the production line, solving issues in real time, tightening process controls, and owning yield performance and escape reduction within their area.\nKey Responsibilities\nProcess Development & Optimization\nDevelop, refine, and sustain manufacturing processes for SMT, reflow, selective solder, wave, hand solder, mechanical assembly, and conformal coating.\nBuild stable process windows, define critical parameters, and enforce discipline around their use.\nOptimize equipment setup, changeover, programming, and material flow to improve throughput and reduce labor hours.\nPerform DOE, capability studies, and data-driven problem-solving to identify improvement opportunities.\nSMT & AOI Engineering Support\nCreate, modify, and maintain SMT programs (pick/place, fiducials, feeders, offsets).\nDevelop accurate stencil aperture designs and drive proper stencil ordering.\nProfile ovens and maintain reflow parameters to meet solder quality requirements.\nCreate and maintain AOI programs with correct calls, tolerances, and defect libraries.\nSupport X-ray inspection criteria and programming.\nNPI Readiness & DFM\nParticipate in early design reviews; identify DFM issues and alternatives.\nValidate BOMs, AVL requirements, tooling, fixtures, and build documentation before release.\nDrive complete NPI packages—routing, travelers, process sheets, reflow profiles, tooling—and support first-article builds.\nQuality, Yield, & Escape Reduction\nInvestigate chronic defects, scrap patterns, and rework trends; implement permanent corrective actions.\nSupport Quality on 8D, 5-Why, and root-cause activities.\nWork cross-functionally with Quality, Production, and Engineering to resolve issues quickly.\nEnsure parameters and documentation match AS9100 requirements—no undocumented shop-floor changes.\nDocumentation & Training\nMaintain accurate, controlled work instructions, setup guides, reflow profiles, SMT build sheets, and AOI specs.\nTrain technicians, operators, and production staff on new processes and updates.\nEnsure all process documentation remains synchronized with current revision levels.\nEquipment & Tooling Support\nSupport preventive maintenance standards for process equipment.\nAssist in identifying and justifying capital equipment improvements.\nDesign or source tooling, fixtures, and work aids as needed.\nRequired Experience\n2–5+ years of process engineering experience in PCB assembly or electronics manufacturing.\nHands-on SMT, reflow profiling, AOI programming, or selective solder experience.\nStrong understanding of soldering fundamentals, IPC-A-610, J-STD-001, and general electronics manufacturing practices.\nAbility to read and interpret technical documents: BOMs, assembly drawings, schematics, and datasheets.\nProficiency with data analysis, SPC, and problem-solving tools.\nPreferred Experience\nHigh-mix, low/medium-volume PCB assembly environment.\nAerospace/defense manufacturing or AS9100 familiarity.\nExperience with DOE, capability studies, or statistical analysis tools.\nExperience with fixture/tooling design (3D CAD skills a plus).\nERP experience (Cetec preferred).\nKey Competencies / Behaviors\nFloor-first mentality: Visible, responsive, and deeply engaged with production.\nTechnical depth: Understands why processes work—not just how.\nData-driven: Uses measured evidence to drive decisions and validate improvements.\nDocumentation discipline: No undocumented changes or tribal knowledge workflows.\nUrgency: Moves fast when quality or production flow is at risk.\nProblem-solving depth: Fixes root causes—doesn’t patch symptoms.\nClear communicator: Direct, concise, and factual in updates and escalations.\nOwnership mindset: Treats yield and escapes as personal responsibilities.\nPhysical & Work Environment Requirements\nExtensive time on the production floor in SMT, soldering, and assembly areas.\nOccasional lifting of tooling, fixtures, or equipment components (~25 lbs).\nWork in ESD-controlled environments with relevant PPE.","company":"Titan Circuits","rawCompany":"titan circuits","city":"Phoenix","state":"AZ","isRemote":false,"isActive":false,"createdAt":"2026-07-16T17:59:10.999Z","occupations":[{"code":"17-2072.00","title":"Electronics Engineers, Except Computer","slug":"electronics-engineers-except-computer"},{"code":"17-2112.03","title":"Manufacturing Engineers","slug":"manufacturing-engineers"},{"code":"17-2112.00","title":"Industrial Engineers","slug":"industrial-engineers"}],"industries":[{"code":"334418","title":"Printed Circuit Assembly (Electronic Assembly) Manufacturing","slug":"printed-circuit-assembly-electronic-assembly-manufacturing"},{"code":"334419","title":"Other Electronic Component Manufacturing","slug":"other-electronic-component-manufacturing"},{"code":"334412","title":"Bare Printed Circuit Board Manufacturing","slug":"bare-printed-circuit-board-manufacturing"}],"jobPosting":{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"JobPosting","title":"Process Engineer","description":"The Process Engineer is responsible for developing, improving, and sustaining manufacturing processes across Titan Circuits’ high-mix PCB assembly environment.
