As a member of the Assembly Sciences & Technology Team, our charter is to:Work with our EMS partners to assess and develop assembly processes for emerging technologies. This position will require the candidate to have in-depth knowledge in SMT and through-hole assembly, rework of these devices, soldering materials (including low-temperature solder alloys), very large body BGA assembly processes, and mechanical assembly of PCBAs into chassis.Work with Cisco Design teams on DFM issues. Responsibilities include process development on new components, connectors with unique interconnect structures, failure analysis support, and risk assessment on PCBAs with assembly-related issues. Acts as a senior technical contributor to Cisco. Integration of liquid cooling systems into mechanical systems. Experience in high complexity PCB assembly processes (SMT, Wave, backplane) required. Detailed understanding of PCBA related industry standards, specifications, and test methods. Exceptional written and verbal communication skills, strong leadership, and teamwork skills. Demonstrated ability to manage cross-functional programs and supplier management. Good understanding of component packaging and PCB technologies are desirable. Technical depth in the areas of materials science including metallurgy and polymer (processing and properties) would also be beneficial.Skills Required:Typically requires BSME (MSME preferred) or equivalent experience plus 8 - 10 years relevant manufacturing experience (production floor experience an advantage).Excellent collaboration with cross-functional/virtual teams to solve complex problems in an innovative manner.International travel is required, 20 – 30%.Able to apply in-depth technical knowledge to non-standard situations to accomplish advanced troubleshooting on new or old problems.In-depth understanding of tools, techniques, and manufacturing practices and resource relationships.Able to apply expert knowledge and understanding of all interdependencies between business processes.Uses outside contacts to develop understanding of state-of-the-art applications.Able to accomplish root cause analysis and resolve problems on a conceptual and advanced troubleshooting level.Knowledge of system integration and mechanical is an advantage.#J-18808-Ljbffr
