Engineer SMT Machine (X -ray Programming)

Job
Title: Engineer – SMT Machine (X -ray Programming)

Job
Summary:

The Engineer – SMT
Machine (X -ray Programming) is responsible for programming, operating, and
optimizing X -ray inspection systems used in SMT (Surface Mount Technology)
manufacturing. The role ensures high -quality solder joint inspection, defect
detection, and continuous process improvement in PCB assembly.

Key
Responsibilities:

• Develop
  and optimize X -ray inspection programs for SMT assemblies (BGA, QFN, CSP,
  etc.)
  
• Operate
  and maintain X -ray inspection machines (AXI/Manual X -ray systems)
  
• Analyze
  X -ray images to detect defects such as voids, shorts, misalignment, and
  insufficient solder
  
• Work
  closely with production and quality teams to resolve soldering and
  assembly issues
  
• Perform
  root cause analysis using X -ray data and implement corrective actions
  
• Validate
  new product introduction (NPI) by creating inspection programs and
  standards
  
• Ensure
  compliance with IPC standards (e.g., IPC -A -610)
  
• Maintain
  documentation for inspection programs, reports, and process changes
  
• Train
  operators and technicians on X -ray inspection procedures
  
• Support
  continuous improvement initiatives (yield improvement, defect reduction)
  
• Coordinate
  with SMT machine engineers for process optimization
  

Required
Skills & Qualifications:

• Bachelor’s
  degree in Electronics, Electrical Engineering, or related field
  
• 2–5 years
  of experience in SMT manufacturing or PCB assembly
  
• Hands -on
  experience with X -ray inspection systems
  
• Strong
  understanding of SMT processes and soldering defects
  
• Knowledge
  of BGA void analysis and IPC standards
  
• Ability
  to interpret X -ray images and technical drawings
  
• Familiarity
  with AOI/AXI programming is an advantage
  
• Good
  problem -solving and analytical skills
  

Preferably
- Nordson Matrix Axi - programming is helpful
