Senior PCBA Manufacturing Technology Engineer (m/f/d)
The Senior PCBA Manufacturing Technology Engineer ensures that PCBAs are ready for industrialization before series production by driving strong design‑to‑manufacturing alignment and reducing risks early in development. It acts as the technical interface between R&D;, NPI, Production, Quality, and EMS partners, driving alignment on manufacturing requirements and industrialization readiness. In addition, the role includes ownership of PCBA manufacturing equipment and line concepts, covering the definition, specification, selection, and implementation of SMT/THT equipment and assembly lines.
Drive and enforce DFM, DFA, and DFT principles across product development Review PCB/PCBA designs to ensure manufacturability, assembly robustness, and testability Ensure smooth transition from design → prototype → pilot → series production Support creation of manufacturing documentation and technical specifications Equipment Specification & Supplier Selection Define technical requirements and specifications for PCBA manufacturing equipment (SMT/THT), including pick‑and‑place, reflow, SPI/AOI, and soldering technologies Support the selection and evaluation of equipment suppliers, considering technical capability, scalability, and reliability Define and support process and product qualification plans Support make‑or‑buy decisions for PCBA manufacturing processes and technologies Provide technical input for industrialization and sourcing strategies Master’s or Bachelor’s degree in Electronical Engineering, Mechatronics, Materials Science, Automation Engineering, or a related field Several Years of professional experience in PCBA industrialization / manufacturing engineering,
preferably in EMS or electronics manufacturing environments Strong Hands‑on experience with PCBA manufacturing equipment and processes, including SMT and THT assembly (e.g., pick‑and‑place, reflow, SPI/AOI, wave/selective soldering) Experience in running feasibility studies, prototypes, and pilot projects, including process trials and validation activities Understanding of technology maturity models (TRL, MRL) and industrialization methods Proven experience in specification, selection, and implementation of PCBA manufacturing equipment, including technical ownership in interactions with equipment suppliers Good understanding of Design for Manufacturing / Assembly / Test (DFM/DFA/DFT) principles for PCBAs Familiarity with REACH and RoHS regulations and quality systems (ISO 9001 environment) Excellent knowledge of English, Italian and/or German as an advantage Innovative work environment in a young, dynamic team High-tech projects in the future-proof sector of e-mobility A wide range of further training opportunities Total compensation starting from €74,000 gross per year, including a 30% variable premio based on goal achievement Additional company benefits Together with our customers, we are driving the world towards sustainable mobility – with cutting-edge technology, we inspire with the most innovative and reliable solutions. With our roots in South Tyrol, we are market and innovation leaders and set the future charging infrastructure standards from our locations in Bolzano/Bozen, Bergamo, Bologna, Munich and Charlotte (USA). We are excited to meet individuals who are enthusiastic about making things happen, take personal responsibility and appreciate seeing the direct results of their work in the final product.
We are a fast-growing company and offer our top teams a diverse and challenging range of tasks in a respectful corporate culture.
