Area Shift Leader-PCBA

What you ll do: * Oversee and coordinate production activities across multiple SMT and THT PCBA assembly lines or zones within the assigned area to ensure the full production plan is achieved. * Maintain smooth and balanced production flow from SMT, THT, testing, inspection, packing, preventing bottlenecks and work in process buildup. * Optimize manpower deployment, material readiness, and equipment utilization across multiple SMT and THT lines and zones. to ensure production schedules and output targets are achieved. * Ensure consistent implementation of ECO/MCO changes across both SMT and THT. * Enforce compliance with IPC A 610 workmanship standards and company quality requirements across all zones. * Provide leadership and operational guidance to operators to achieve area-level performance targets (OEE, FPY, delivery). * Conduct area-level shift handovers, communicate priorities, known issues, and downstream impacts clearly to incoming teams and other departments. * Conduct regularly Layer Process audit, to assess operator expertise level, and define improvement plan. * Maintain accurate area production documentation, including performance dashboards, MES data, shift reports, and key metrics. * Resolve escalated production issues that involve multiple lines or zones, coordinate fast support from Engineering, Quality, and Maintenance teams. * Drive operator engagement and promote a culture of accountability through coaching, recognition, and constructive feedback. * Support sustainability and operational efficiency goals by reducing waste, optimizing consumable usage, and improving resource consumption across the area. * Utilize digital dashboards, traceability systems, and analytics tools (MES, OEE, yield charts) to monitor performance, identify issues, and drive improvement actions. * Collaborate with cross-functional teams,including Engineering, Shift Leader, Quality, Logistics, and Planning to ensure stable operations and rapid resolution of cross-area challenges. * Enforce ESD controls, safety rules, IPC workmanship standards, and EATON MESH requirements. * Drive and support continuous improvement initiatives (5S, Lean, Kaizen,) to enhance productivity and quality. ## Qualifications: * Technical Diploma or Vocational Certificate in Electronics, Mechatronics, or a related field. * 3-5 years of experience in PCB assembly or electronics manufacturing ## Skills: * Prior experience as a senior operator, line leader, or technician with informal leadership responsibilities is a strong advantage. * Hands-on experience with SMT machines for setup, operation, and basic troubleshooting. Panasonic SMT machines (e.g., NPM, CM series) is an added advantage. * Familiarity with SMT and THT processes, including reflow soldering, Automated Optical Inspection (AOI), and basic troubleshooting. * Understanding of IPC-A-610 standards and ESD safety practices. * Basic knowledge of production documentation, work instructions, and quality checks. * Problem-Solving: You re resourceful, analytical, and calm under pressure always ready to find solutions. * Adaptability: You thrive in a fast-paced environment and can pivot quickly when priorities change. * Team Builder: You believe in collaboration, inclusion, and creating a positive work environment.
