• Own and standardise the PCBA Manufacturing Specification across suppliers
• Ensure traceability, compliance, and repeatability across builds
• Support engineering teams with reliable component and supplier data
• Maintain libraries and templates in Altium Designer

What You’ll Bring

• Strong understanding of electronic components, EEE parts, and PCBA manufacturing processes
• Ability to interpret component datasheets, specifications, and lifecycle risks (including obsolescence and long lead times)
• Awareness of supplier capabilities and manufacturing constraints
• Familiarity with component libraries, AMLs, and part governance frameworks
• Working knowledge of Altium Designer for library and component management
• General understanding of ERP/materials systems (e.g. NetSuite or similar)
