- Act as the technical escalation point for SMT-related issues during production interruptions or quality excursions
- Develop, maintain, and control documentation such as SOPs, Work Instructions, PFMEA, Control
- Plans, and technical reports
- Provide coaching and technical mentorship to junior engineers and technicians
- Collaborate closely with Quality, Production, Test, APTE, and Supply Chain teams to resolve cross-functional issues
- Support customer quality concerns related to SMT processes and provide technical input for root cause and corrective actions
- Drive cost reduction initiatives through material optimization, waste reduction, and process efficiency improvements
- Support qualification and evaluation of new materials, equipment, and suppliers
- Participate in internal, customer, and external audits (ISO, IATF, customer audits) as subject matter expert for SMT processes
- Contribute to technology roadmap planning by recommending new tools, equipment, and process innovations
