Job Description

Programming and Setup
• Create and Optimize Programs: Develop new placement programs for the Fuji NXT III from CAD data (e.g., centroid data) and Bill of Materials (BOM) using Fuji Nexim.
• Program Finetuning: Conduct first-article inspections and troubleshoot new programs on the machine to ensure correct component pickup, placement coordinates, and component recognition settings.
• Component Library Management: Create, maintain, and update accurate component part data in the machine's library, including vision recognition settings, part dimensions, and nozzle assignments.
• Feeder and Setup Verification: Generate and manage feeder setup sheets. 

Process Optimization and Improvement
• Cycle Time Reduction: Analyze machine performance data and optimize placement sequences and head utilization to achieve the shortest possible cycle times and maximize component per hour (CPH).
• Yield Improvement: Monitor and analyze placement defects (e.g., missing, tombstone, misalignment) and implement corrective actions, including program adjustments.
• New Product Introduction (NPI): Work to implement new products, focusing on Design for Manufacturability (DFM) reviews related to SMT.

Machine Operation and Know-How
• Troubleshooting: Respond to and resolve machine errors, including component vision failures, machine issues, and communication errors.
• Operator Training: Train SMT operators on daily machine operation, material replenishment, minor troubleshooting, and correct changeover procedures. 

Job Requirements

• Min. Bachelor’s degree or higher in Electronics or Mechanical Engineering or with equivalent work experience.
• Min. 3 years of hands-on experience programming and running Fuji NXT series machines.
• Knowledge of Fuji NXT III hardware, modules, heads (e.g., H24), feeders, and Tray Units (e.g., LT/M). Proficiency in Fuji SMT software, including Fuji Nexim and line management tools.
• Strong understanding of SMT manufacturing processes.
