Export Control Requirement: Due to applicable export control laws and regulations, candidates must be a U.S. citizen or national, U.S. permanent resident (i.e., current Green Card holder), or lawfully admitted into the U.S. as a refugee or granted asylum.Come solve the difficult and rewarding engineering challenges in developing a highly reliable, power efficient, performant, low-cost satellite bus and payload. As a Sr. PCBA Manufacturing Engineer, you will work across design engineering, supply-chain, quality, and our manufacturing partners to drive Project Kuiper electrical sub-system and PCBA manufacturing and delivery.Key job responsibilities- Drive the PCBA Manufacturing Qualification process at the CM. Define manufacturing readiness requirements and lead key milestone reviews to ensure all production readiness deliverables are complete.
- Investigate and develop new manufacturing technology and methodologies to enhance PCBA quality, reliability, throughput, and cost.
- Drive closure of all operational issues during pre-production builds. Work within Operations, Supply Chain, R&D, and Reliability Engineering to implement and optimize manufacturing processes and improve yields for production ramp.
- Investigate failures/defects in production, test, and integration. Identify and mitigate underlying root causes to prevent reoccurrence as part of continuous improvement efforts.
- Identify opportunities for risk reduction and simplification of PCBA manufacturing processes.
- Deliver manufacturing processes capabilities including equipment capability, quality controls, materials characterization, and standardized rework practices.
- Actively monitor the success of products and processes through production ramp. Provide regular status reports of PCBAs progress from design to production.
- Deploy and qualify polymerics (staking, underfill, and conformal coat) equipment for high volume production.

- Bachelor's Degree in Engineering (Manufacturing/Mechanical/Aerospace/Industrial/Electrical) or related discipline, or equivalent experience.
