About this Position
- Join the global leading Printed Electronics team in APAC region, based in Shanghai, focusing on the development and application of functional conductive inks (Silver pastes, Carbon pastes, and Dielectric inks).
- This role serves as the critical technical bridge between R&D and mass production, ensuring our advanced materials are perfectly translated into high-performance functional circuits (Antennas, Sensors, Touch panels, etc.).
- You will work in a
fast-paced environment that combines lab-scale innovation with real-world
factory floor troubleshooting, providing a unique opportunity to influence both
product design and customer manufacturing success.
What you´ll do
- External Technical Support (50%): Lead the optimization of printing processes at customer OEM/EMS sites (e.g., Foxconn, Lux share). You will be responsible for "dialing in" equipment parameters to ensure our conductive inks perform at their peak, preventing sub-optimal results caused by non-specialized onsite operators.
- Internal R&D Collaboration (30%): Partner with R&D scientists to validate new formulations. You will simulate customer production environments in the lab using industrial-grade Screen Printing and Pad Printing equipment to refine product "printability" and reliability.
- Process Engineering: Own the end-to-end printing workflow, including screen mesh selection (tension/emulsion), squeegee pressure optimization, snap-off distance, and drying/curing profiles to maximize electrical conductivity and fine-line resolution.
- Application Advisory: Provide expert feedback to R&D from a "manufacturing-ready" perspective, ensuring new silver/carbon pastes are compatible with high-speed, high-volume production requirements.
What makes you a good fit
- Deep Process Expertise: Proven, hands-on experience in Flatbed Screen Printing and Pad Printing. Must demonstrate a "craftsman-level" ability to troubleshoot printing defects (e.g., pinholes, bleeding, uneven thickness) by adjusting mechanical equipment settings.
- Industry Background: Extensive experience in Consumer Electronics (Touch/Display), Solar/Photovoltaic (PV) cell metallization, or Automotive sensors. Direct experience on the shop floor of a major OEM/EMS is highly preferred.
- Material Knowledge: Solid understanding of the interaction between high-viscosity conductive pastes and printing substrates. Knowledge of reliability testing (Cross-hatch, resistance measurement, environmental aging) is essential.
- Problem-Solving: A "hands-on" mindset. You should prefer being on the production line or in the lab rather than just behind a desk. Theoretical knowledge must be backed by the ability to physically calibrate machines.
- Language: Proficient in Mandarin; English skills sufficient for technical communication.
