Managing Direrctor at Electronic & Electrical Solutions
We're a successful electronics design and manufacturing business on Queensland's Sunshine Coast.
To aid our 2026 growth plans we're looking for an experienced production engineer to take ownership of our Yamaha YG-series SMT line and contribute to the reliability, quality and throughput of our manufacturing operations. This is a hands‑on role in a stable environment with medium‑mix, medium‑volume processes, and presents a unique combination of technical responsibility and the Sunshine Coast lifestyle.
What you'll be responsible for:
SMT line ownership
* Programming, setup and operation of the Yamaha YG-series based pick‑and‑place line.
* Managing line changeovers and production programs.
* Monitoring first‑pass yield, identifying trends and working with engineering on continuous improvement measures.
* Planning, performing and documenting routine maintenance of the SMT line and associated equipment.
Equipment maintenance and troubleshooting
* Fault‑finding the stencil printer, pick‑and‑place machines, reflow oven, wave solder machine and board‑handling equipment. Machine diagnostic and repair skills would be a big plus.
Production support and documentation
* Updating and improving assembly documentation, work instructions and production procedures.
* Recording production metrics such as throughput, downtime and scrap.
* Maintaining revision control of production programs and test configurations.
Manual and mixed assembly tasks
* As required in a small manufacturing team, you will need to perform other hands‑on tasks such as manual assembly, rework and inspection.
* Supporting production quality through occasional troubleshooting of product faults, with escalation to design engineering where needed.
* Maintaining ESD compliance and equipment handling discipline.
* Working directly with the design team on production issues and root‑cause investigations.
* Communicating clearly with the production manager and rest of the production team.
* Participate in design reviews to provide feedback on potential manufacturing issues.
* Interfacing between design and production, aiding in New Product Introduction.
What we're looking for
* Solid experience operating and maintaining SMT equipment in a commercial environment.
* Strong diagnostic capability across mechanical, electrical and process‑related faults.
* Familiarity with IPC standards such as IPC‑A‑610.
* Full‑time, 38 hours per week.
* Onsite at our Kunda Park facility on the Sunshine Coast.
* Salary: $80k–$90k + super, depending on experience.
This role is intended for candidates with hands‑on SMT production experience. We recognise that experienced professionals may not meet every listed requirement in exactly the same way, so if you have operated SMT production equipment in a commercial environment and are comfortable taking responsibility for line performance, we encourage you to apply.
