Team Lead - SMT (Surface Mount Technology)

As an experienced SMT Team Lead, your main responsibility will be to lead a team of SMT operators and technicians to ensure efficient and high-quality production of printed circuit boards (PCBs) through the SMT assembly process. Your role involves day-to-day supervision, technical support, process optimization, and adherence to production schedules and quality standards. It will be crucial for you to foster a collaborative and productive work environment that promotes continuous improvement and team development. You will be required to lead, motivate, and mentor the team of SMT operators and technicians. Assign daily tasks and responsibilities to team members to ensure optimal resource utilization. Monitor team performance, provide constructive feedback, and conduct performance reviews as necessary. Facilitate team meetings, communicate production goals, and address any concerns that the team may have. It is essential to ensure adherence to company policies, procedures, and safety regulations and train new team members on SMT processes, equipment operation, and quality standards. Your responsibilities will also include overseeing the entire SMT production line, including paste printing, component placement, reflow soldering, and visual inspection. You must ensure that all SMT machines are set up correctly and operating efficiently, monitor production output, identify bottlenecks, and implement corrective actions to maintain production schedules. Troubleshooting SMT process issues and collaborating with engineering and quality departments to resolve technical issues and improve product quality will be part of your daily tasks. Implementing and enforcing strict quality control measures throughout the SMT process will be crucial. You will need to conduct in-process inspections and audits to ensure compliance with quality standards and identify defects, implement root cause analysis, and corrective actions. Maintaining accurate production records, overseeing routine preventive maintenance of SMT equipment, and identifying opportunities for process improvement and cost reduction will also be key aspects of your role. To qualify for this position, you should have a Diploma or Bachelor's degree in Electronics Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Mechatronics, or a related technical field. Equivalent practical experience may also be considered. In terms of skills, you must have an in-depth understanding of SMT processes, materials, and equipment, as well as strong leadership, communication, and interpersonal skills. Proficiency in English, both written and verbal, is required, along with the ability to work under pressure and meet tight deadlines.,
