Job Description

As an SMT Process Engineer, you will be the technical lead for our surface mount assembly lines. Your primary goal is to optimize the manufacturing process-ensuring high yield, minimal rework, and maximum throughput. While you will oversee automated systems, your core focus will be on process parameters, thermal profiling, and equipment synchronization to support the production of high-performance mining hardware.

What You Will Be Responsible For

• Process Optimization: Develop and refine SMT process parameters, including solder paste printing, pick-and-place mounting, and reflow oven profiling to ensure zero-defect manufacturing.
• Production Line Control: Manage the integration of automated production lines, overseeing the synchronization of equipment to maintain continuous flow and high OEE (Overall Equipment Effectiveness).
• Systems Debugging: Address technical issues within PLC-controlled equipment and HMI interfaces to resolve bottlenecks and optimize cycle times.
• Motion & Positioning: Manage the calibration of servo systems for precision positioning, torque, and speed control across the assembly line.
• Downtime Reduction: Analyze automation logic and mechanical failures to significantly reduce equipment downtime and implement preventative maintenance strategies.
• Quality Assurance: Analyze and resolve faults within the automation system, providing technical support to production and testing teams to maintain high quality standards.
• Technical Roadmap: Stay current with SMT and automation trends, advocating for new technologies that enhance Bitdeer's technical competitiveness in hardware manufacturing.

How You Will Stand Out

• Education: College degree or above in Electrical Automation, Mechatronics, Mechanical Engineering, or a related field.
• Experience: 3+ years of hands-on experience in SMT process engineering or automation engineering within an electronics manufacturing environment.
• PLC & Control Systems: Proficiency in Siemens S1200/S1500 and Mitsubishi L/Q series PLCs; experience with Weintek HMI and TIA Portal.
• Servo & Motion Control: Skilled in managing Panasonic A6 and Siemens V90/S120 series servo systems.
• Equipment Programming: Experience developing programs for silicone grease printers, automatic loading/unloading machines, screw fastening machines, and barcode labelers.
• Automation Tools: Familiarity with AutoCAD, Codesys, and industrial communication protocols (Modbus, Profibus).
• Robotics (Supporting): Basic proficiency in 4-axis and 6-axis robotic systems (Epson, FANUC, or ABB) as they relate to line automation.
• Soft Skills: Strong logical thinking, problem-solving abilities, and the capacity to collaborate efficiently across departments under fast-paced startup conditions.

What you will experience working with us:

• A culture that values authenticity and diversity of thoughts and backgrounds;
• An inclusive and respectable environment with open workspaces and exciting start-up spirit;
• Fast-growing company with the chance to network with industrial pioneers and enthusiasts;
• Ability to contribute directly and make an impact on the future of the digital asset industry;
• Involvement in new projects, developing processes/systems;
• Personal accountability, autonomy, fast growth, and learning opportunities;
• Attractive welfare benefits and developmental opportunities such as training and mentoring.

Note on Safety and Drug Testing Because this job requires tasks that are critical to the safety of our employees and the public (such as operating machinery or driving), we have designated it as a safety-sensitive position under Nevada law (AB 132). This means we are required to screen for all controlled substances, including marijuana, during the pre-employment process.
