Manufacturing Electronics Engineer - Chelton - Marlow/UK

(2022-08 - 2024-10)

• Creating data packs for suppliers to manufacture PCB.
• Incorporating DFM/DFA/DFT best practices feedback to reduce production costs by 15% and optimize component placement for automated assembly.
• Good knowledge of IPC specifications, PCB manufacturing and assembly process.
• Developed and implemented continues improvement methods resulting in a 15% decrease in production time.
• Support supply chain on PCB manufacturing and testing, component specification and finding alternative components to obsolete components.
• Led cross-functional teams (Design, Manufacturing, Quality) to resolve complex manufacturing issues, reducing product time-to-market by 4 weeks.
• Successfully troubleshooted and diagnosed the root causes of electronic hardware failures which led to reduced costs in production and a 30% increase in on time deadline.
• Lean Manufacturing principles and DFM guidelines on the SMT lines, which decreased production defects by 20% and increased overall yield.
