You'll work at the intersection of engineering, data, and sales — translating customer specs and BOMs into accurate, competitive quotes using our internal costing tools and databases. This is a great fit for someone with a few years of hands-on manufacturing, quoting, or process engineering experience who wants to grow into a specialized, high-impact technical role.
What You'll Do
- Review customer RFQs, drawings, Gerber files, and BOMs to determine manufacturability and cost drivers
- Generate accurate PCB fabrication quotes using estimating software and internal pricing databases
- Analyze historical quoting and production data to refine cost models and pricing algorithms
- Identify cost-saving opportunities through DFM (Design for Manufacturability) feedback
- Maintain and improve quoting databases, templates, and automated estimating tools
- Collaborate with sales, engineering, and production teams to ensure quote accuracy and turnaround speed
- Track win/loss data and margin performance to continuously improve estimating accuracy
- Support development of quoting algorithms/spreadsheet models that speed up turnaround for standard vs. complex boards
What You Bring
- 3–5 years of experience in PCB manufacturing, electronics manufacturing, cost estimating, or a related engineering role
- Strong Excel skills (pivot tables, formulas, macros/VBA a plus); comfort building and working with structured databases
- Familiarity with PCB fabrication processes (layer count, materials, finishes, tolerances) is preferred.
- Analytical mindset — comfortable working with data sets, cost models, and pricing logic
- Experience with ERP/MRP or quoting software a plus, not required
- Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Industrial Engineering, Manufacturing Engineering, or equivalent experience
- Detail-oriented with strong problem-solving skills and ability to manage multiple quotes under deadline pressure
Nice to Have
- Exposure to SQL or database querying
- Experience building or improving cost-estimation algorithms or tools
- Background in a PCB fab house, EMS provider, or contract manufacturer
