HOD

• Oversee daily manufacturing operations, including production scheduling, resource allocation (manpower and equipment), and workflow optimization across SMT, MI, and PTH lines.
• Collaborate with Planning, Procurement, Quality Assurance, and Engineering departments to resolve production bottlenecks, material shortages, and technical issues.
• Manage the departmental budget, controlling manufacturing costs, material consumption (including material loss/throwing), and capital expenditure requests for new equipment or upgrades.
• Establish and enforce stringent quality control protocols, ensuring all products meet internal quality standards and industry specifications (IPC-A-610, J-STD-001).
• Lead and champion Lean Manufacturing and Six Sigma initiatives (e.g., Kaizen, 5S) to improve process yield, reduce defects, minimize rework, and enhance overall operational efficiency (OEE).
• Direct process engineering activities, including machine programming (Pick-and-Place, AOI, SPI), reflow profile creation, stencil design review, and troubleshooting complex manufacturing defects.
• Ensure a safe working environment by enforcing all EHS (Environment, Health, and Safety) and ESD (Electrostatic Discharge) protocols.
• Oversee the maintenance and calibration of all SMT, MI, and PTH equipment (e.g., screen printers, reflow ovens, wave soldering machines, automated optical inspection/AOI systems) to minimize downtime and ensure optimal performance.
• Ensure accurate and updated documentation of all manufacturing processes, work instructions, and quality records.
• Lead, mentor, and develop a high-performing team of engineers, supervisors, technicians, and operators.
• Set performance goals, conduct regular performance reviews, and manage attendance and personnel issues within the department.
• Identify training needs and organize technical and quality training (e.g., IPC certifications) to maintain a highly skilled workforce.
• Bachelor's or Master's Degree in Electronics Engineering, Manufacturing/Industrial Engineering, or a related technical field.
• Minimum 8-10 years of progressive experience in electronics manufacturing, with at least 5 years in a senior leadership or management role over SMT/PCBA operations.
• Proven hands-on experience and deep technical knowledge of SMT, Reflow Soldering, Wave Soldering, and Manual Insertion/Through-Hole processes.
• Experience with AOI, SPI, and X-Ray inspection systems.
• Demonstrated experience in implementing Lean, Six Sigma, or other continuous improvement methodologies.
• Expert knowledge of IPC standards (e.g., IPC-A-610).
• Proficiency in SMT machine programming and optimization (e.g., Fuji, Yahama, Panasonic).
• Strong understanding of electronic components, component packaging, and BOM (Bill of Materials) management.
• Data analysis and reporting skills (e.g., SPC - Statistical Process Control).
