• Lead strategic sourcing, quality, delivery, and commercial management of the global PCB supply base, ensuring capability, resilience, and readiness for rapid growth. 

• Develop and implement technical plans and programs that advance PCB and PCBA technologies in both the short and long term, ensuring suppliers have the capacity and capability to support mass-production volumes. 

• Plan and execute advanced R&D programs for next-generation PCB and PCBA/SMT technologies including materials, interconnect structures, and assembly processes to achieve high yields, strong reliability, and readiness for Data Center, Networking, Gaming, and Automotive products. 

• Partner closely  with U.S. and Israeli Hardware and Signal Integrity teams to anticipate and support PCB, PCBA, and SMT requirements early in the design cycle. 

• Partner with leading PCB fabricators and material suppliers to shape next-generation technologies, guide their development roadmaps, and qualify new processes and materials for reliable mass production. 

• Select, pre-qualify, secure capacity, and allocate market share for PCB suppliers across NPI and mass-production demands. 

• Manage all engineering and NPI quick-turn PCB/PCBA builds, ensuring industry-leading cycle times, quality, and predictability.

  

What we need to see: 

• B.S. or higher in Materials Science, Chemistry, Electrical Engineering, or related technical discipline or equivalent experience. 

• 20+ overall years of experience across PCB and PCBA/SMT technologies, including at least 10 years leading large, global, cross-functional engineering or manufacturing technology organizations. 

• Demonstrated mastery of PCB technology development including laminate systems, interconnect structures, HDI/multilayer stackups, fabrication processes, and reliability engineering. 

• Strong hands-on background in PCBA and SMT manufacturing, including solder materials, adhesives, underfill, thermal materials, stencil and reflow processes, DFM/DFT, SPC, FA, and high-reliability assembly. 

• Proven experience managing and developing global PCB supply bases, including technology roadmaps, qualifications, quality programs, capacity strategies, and supplier performance management. 

• Experience supporting high-reliability markets (Automotive, Aerospace, Defense, Medical) with rigorous process control and reliability requirements is a strong plus. 

  Established ability to partner deeply with Hardware, Signal Integrity, and Reliability Engineering teams, both domestic and offshore, with a track record of solving complex design-to-build challenges. 

• Demonstrated success operating at executive scale strong leadership presence, clear communication, decisive problem solving, and the ability to influence senior stakeholders across Engineering, Operations, and Suppliers. 

• A builder’s mindset with high motivation, strong analytical thinking, creativity, and a passion for developing new technologies and elevating global manufacturing capability.
