Our company, operating in the Aerospace and Defense Industry, is seeking a PCB Production and Chemical Process Engineer to join our printed circuit board (PCB) production line. The successful candidate will be responsible for establishing, developing, and sustainably managing chemical processes, ensuring process performance and product quality.
 

What to Expect:

 • Establishing, monitoring, and improving surface preparation, development-etching-film removal (DES), through-hole plating (PTH), copper plating, surface finishing, and soldermask processes in PCB production.
• Determining chemical bath recipes and operating ranges; monitoring critical process parameters such as concentration, pH, temperature, time, current density, and metal charge.
• Planning bath analyses, evaluating results, making decisions on chemical additions and bath renewals; conducting root cause analysis and corrective actions for process deviations.
• Evaluating process suitability during the commissioning of new products; providing technical support for trial productions, process validation studies, and initial product checks.
• Preparing process flows, work instructions, control plans, chemical usage records, and technical reports. • Providing process and chemical safety training to production personnel
• Evaluating line width, copper and plating thickness, through-hole plating integrity, surface quality, and solderability results together with the quality unit
• Conducting improvement studies focused on cost, quality, environment, and occupational safety by monitoring chemical consumption, water and energy use, waste generation, process capacity, and efficiency indicators
