Senior Process Engineer

Job Overview

We empower smarter business operations by connecting equipment, software and services to protect, control and optimize assets within electrical infrastructures. The Senior Process Engineer will act as the connective tissue between product development and manufacturing execution, enabling a consistent "design anywhere, build anywhere" philosophy across OmniOn Power's manufacturing sites.

Responsibilities

• Build and develop plant manufacturing teams in support of the Director of Manufacturing Excellence, fostering a culture of engineering excellence and cross‑site knowledge sharing.
• Standardize the global manufacturing equipment supply base and document shared equipment capabilities across all manufacturing sites.
• Develop and maintain a long‑term automation roadmap that aligns with business growth targets, R&D product development priorities, and evolving needs of AI and data‑center customers.
• Establish design‑for‑automation (DFA) manufacturing requirements and implement a structured review process covering all R&D development stages, including NTI, NPI, and full product lifecycle transitions.
• Support and align Factory NPI Leaders and PCB DFM owners across manufacturing sites.
• Review and approve manufacturing process checklists at NPI gate reviews; Factory NPI Leaders own day‑to‑day checklist management and execution.
• Partner with R&D and Principal Engineering to embed manufacturability and automation readiness into product designs from the earliest development stages.
• Provide DFM oversight at a global level while PCBA DFM execution is performed by the plant NPI Leader at the site where the PCBA will be built.
• Work flexible hours, including with locations in different time zones.
• Perform any other reasonable duties as directed by management.
• Occasional domestic and international travel as required.

Basic Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Manufacturing, Electrical, Mechanical, or Industrial Engineering, or equivalent technical experience.
• Minimum 5 years of SMT manufacturing experience, with demonstrated expertise in process development, optimization, and continuous improvement.
• Technical knowledge of SMT equipment, solder chemistry, reflow profiling, stencil design, pick‑and‑place, AOI, X‑ray inspection, and defect mitigation.
• Proven experience supporting or leading NPI programs, including DFM/DFA reviews and gate processes across product lifecycle stages.
• Experience with CAPEX planning, automation justification, and manufacturing roadmap development.
• Ability to analyze process cycle times, labor content, and throughput data to drive balanced automation and resource decisions.
• Strong cross‑functional communication skills with the ability to influence without direct authority across global, matrixed organizations.
• Experience developing and reviewing manufacturing KPIs related to quality, throughput, and productivity.
• Experience in power conversion, telecommunications, or data center electronics manufacturing environments.

Desired Characteristics

• SMTA Certification (Certified SMT Process Engineer) or active pursuit of certification.
• IPC Certification (CIS, CIT, or equivalent) through IPC/Global Electronics Association.
• Experience managing or aligning global, multi‑site manufacturing operations.
• Lean Six Sigma certification (Green Belt or higher).
• Familiarity with AI‑driven manufacturing analytics, automation platforms, or smart factory technologies relevant to PCB assembly.
• Bilingual English/Spanish preferred for Matamoros plant site engagement.
