SMT Maintenance Head

SMT Equipment Maintenance

• Ensure high uptime and efficiency of SMT lines (Printer, SPI, Pick & Place, Reflow Oven, AOI, Wave Soldering)
• Develop and implement preventive & predictive maintenance plans.
• Drive breakdown analysis (RCA) and implement corrective actions.
• Maintain critical spares inventory and reduce MTTR (Mean Time to Repair).
• Coordinate with OEMs/vendors for upgrades, troubleshooting, and AMCs.

Testing Equipment Maintenance & Reliability

• Lead maintenance of: EV testing machines (functional, endurance, validation testing setups)
• ICT (In-Circuit Testing) machines (Selective soldering machines, Wave soldering machines, Robotic automation systems, Press-fit machines).
• Flushing equipment (leak testing, cleaning, fluid circulation systems)
• Drive root cause analysis (RCA) and implement corrective & preventive actions (CAPA).

Budgeting & Cost Control

• Prepare and manage maintenance & utility budgets.
• Optimize maintenance costs without impacting performance.
• Control energy and consumable costs.

Clean Room & Environmental Control

• Maintain clean room standards (for PCB and electronics assembly areas).
• Ensure control of ESD, temperature, humidity, and particulate levels.
• Ensure compliance with industry standards for electronics manufacturing.

Energy Management & Cost Optimization

• Drive energy-saving initiatives and cost reduction projects.
• Monitor KPIs like specific energy consumption.
• Implement automation and digital monitoring systems for utilities.

Project Management

• Lead Maintenance & utility-related capex projects (installation, expansion, upgrades).
• Commission new equipment and ensure smooth integration with production.
• Vendor selection, technical evaluation, and contract management

Compliance & Safety

• Ensure compliance with statutory regulations (electrical safety, pollution control, boiler regulations, etc.).
• Drive safety initiatives across utility operations.
• Ensure adherence to ISO standards (ISO 14001, ISO 45001, etc.).

TPM & Equipment Reliability

• Implement TPM (Total Productive Maintenance) practices
• Drive OEE improvement initiatives for SMT lines
• Improve MTBF and MTTR.
• Ensure robust planned and autonomous maintenance culture.

Team Leadership & Capability Building

• Lead and develop maintenance & utility team.
• Build a problem-solving, data-driven, and ownership-based culture.
• Drive training on automotive quality mindset, discipline, and standardization.

Digitalization

• Implement Industry 4.0 practices for utility monitoring
• Use data analytics for predictive maintenance and efficiency improvement.
