Role Overview: Lead end to end new product introduction (NPI) for Integrated system packages (SiP/ISP) and associated PCBA assemblies, ensuring seamless transition from concept to high volume production with focus on performance, quality, reliability, cost and time to market.
Key Responsibilities: NPI Program Execution
- Own ISP NPI projects from customer handoff to mass production.
- Drive stage gate NPI execution o Concept Eng validation test Design validation test Product validation Test HVM
- Ensure alignment between package level and board level readiness.
- Manage multiple complex NPI programs simultaneously. PCBA & System Integration Oversight
- Own PCBA NPI readiness in collaboration with SMEs/Process Engineers.
- Drive DFM/DFA reviews for SMT, Testing, Coating, Pin insertion and Box Assembly.
- Ensure compatibility between SiP, Modules, ICs land patterns, PCB layout and reflow profiles.
- Oversee board level bring up, functional testing and failure analysis.
- Ensure system level performance and reliability targets are met. Yield, Reliability and Quality
- Own early yield ramp for PCBA processes.
- Lead root cause analysis for Package induced failures, SMT defects, board level escapees and field failures.
- Drive qualification and reliability testing (JEDEC, Boad level reliability, Environmental and system stress testing.)
- Ensure zero critical quality escapes at launch. Cost, Schedule & Risk Management.
- Manage NPI cost models (BOM, PCBA Process and Test cycle time)
- Identify NPI risks early and drive mitigation plans.
- Identify technical, supplier and capacity risks early. Customer & Stakeholder Communication.
