• Define, document, and optimize end-to-end manufacturing processes, including assembly tools, aids, and standards for complex electronic products.
• Drive DFx (DFM/DFA/DFT/DFS/DFR) reviews with R&D, test, and quality engineering teams and EMS partners to resolve issues and improve manufacturability.
• Champion process efficiency improvements, workflow optimization, staffing, training, equipment, and network requirements with EMS partners.
• Lead advanced troubleshooting of manufacturing defects and reliability concerns, establishing root causes and corrective actions to ensure robust production.
• Develop and qualify manufacturing processes for high-complexity PCBA, including SMT/THT, high-layer-count boards, fine-pitch BGAs, and power electronics.
• Architect and optimize electromechanical final assembly, test, and pack out (FATP) processes for EDA HAV systems, including automation and advanced tooling.
• Manage supplier and EMS engagement, establish and improve product time standards, driving cost reduction, yield enhancement, and timely project deliverables.
• Support new product introduction (NPI) and production ramp, identifying risks and leading manufacturing readiness assessments.
• Mentor and guide manufacturing engineers, influence product and manufacturing strategy, and act as a trusted advisor across teams.

The Impact You Will Have:

• Accelerate time-to-market for new Synopsys HAV hardware products through efficient NPI and process industrialization.
• Enable reliable, repeatable, scalable, and cost-effective manufacturing of advanced electronic assemblies.
• Drive continuous improvement initiatives that enhance yield, reduce defects, and improve product quality and customer satisfaction.
• Facilitate seamless transitions from design to mass production, collaborating with EMS partners for optimal outcomes.
• Support Synopsys’ industry leadership by fostering cross-functional innovation and technical excellence.
• Ensure compliance with industry standards, driving robust process documentation and operator certification for EMS engineers.
• Influence the future of manufacturing strategy through technical judgment and strong collaboration with engineering and leadership teams.

What You’ll Need:

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Mechanical, Electrical, Manufacturing Engineering, or related discipline.
• 7+ years of manufacturing engineering experience with deep expertise in PCBA and electromechanical system assembly.
• Proven track record leading complex NPIs and transitioning products from development to high-volume manufacturing.
• Strong background in networking hardware, test equipment, or high-reliability electronic systems.
• Hands-on experience with troubleshooting manufacturing and reliability issues at both PCBA and system levels.
• Solid understanding of manufacturing systems, automation, quality assurance, and cost optimization techniques.
• Experience working with global EMS and system integration partners.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills, able to influence across disciplines and leadership levels.
• Willingness and ability to travel up to 35% as needed.
• Preferred: Lean Six Sigma certification, knowledge of IPC/ISO standards, experience with optoelectronics, and background in EDA, telecom, semiconductor, or industrial systems.

Who You Are:

• Innovative and solutions-oriented, with a keen eye for detail and passion for continuous improvement.
• Collaborative team player who thrives in cross-functional, multicultural environments.
• Exceptional communicator, able to convey complex technical concepts clearly to diverse audiences.
• Self-motivated, accountable, and proactive in driving results and tackling challenges.
• Adaptable and resilient, comfortable navigating change and ambiguity.
• Committed to automation, documentation, ergonomics, and scalable manufacturing solutions.
