DESCRIPTION:

We are seeking a Process Engineer - Electrical & Electronics to drive electronics manufacturing process excellence, supplier industrialization, and technology transfer execution across Thermo Fisher Scientific's global EMS and Contract Manufacturing network.

This role will support printed circuit board assembly, cable and harness manufacturing, electrical system integration, test readiness, and electronics manufacturing standards. The position will partner with R&D, Manufacturing Engineering, Quality, Supply Chain, and EMS partners to improve manufacturability, accelerate production ramp-up, and strengthen supplier performance.

• Lead development, optimization, and standardization of electronics manufacturing processes across EMS and Contract Manufacturing partners
• Support technology transfers, new product introductions, and production ramp-up for PCB assemblies, cable assemblies, electrical subsystems, and electronic instrumentation platforms
• Conduct supplier capability assessments covering SMT, through-hole assembly, soldering, conformal coating, cable/harness assembly, test capability, ESD controls, and process maturity
• Partner with R&D and Manufacturing Engineering to influence DFM, DFT, DFA, component selection, panelization, test strategy, and manufacturability decisions
• Develop electronics manufacturing standards, process documentation, work instructions, control plans, and best-practice playbooks
• Support process validation, test validation, equipment qualification, pilot builds, and readiness reviews for electronics manufacturing processes
• Lead root cause analysis and corrective action for electronics manufacturing defects, yield losses, test failures, supplier process issues, and transfer risks
• Drive improvements in yield, throughput, cycle time, first-pass quality, and supplier execution using Lean and data-driven methodologies
• Support BOE and BOP development for electronics manufacturing processes, equipment, tooling, fixtures, and test infrastructure
• Partner with Quality teams to ensure compliance with applicable IPC standards, quality requirements, change control, and traceability expectations
• Collaborate with suppliers and supply chain teams to improve material readiness, component risk management, and production continuity
• Capture lessons learned and translate them into reusable standards for future EMS and electronics transfers
