Job description

Summary of Job Purpose:

- Support new product development in providing solutions to problems with electronic circuitry. Analyze problems and identify design solutions as applicable.
- Lead component engineering activities such as parts obsolescence, lifecycle management, parts library administration, design compliance analysis, part selection & qualification
- Implement designs changes through ECOs. Evaluate design change requests for relevance and correctness. Develop, design, and modify products to the defined requirements including analysis, laboratory tests, simulation, and field evaluation to assure compliance to project and customer and industry requirements; prepare the documents required to define the products and show verification of analytics.
- Provide technical assistance to all internal departments, suppliers, and customers as it relates to the product.
- Provide test and evaluation support including input to ATP and QTP test plans and procedures.
- Work with other engineering disciplines (mechanical, optics, quality, and manufacturing) to accomplish cross-functional designs and integration of designs. Participate in design reviews.
- Support the creation of stress analyses and apply proper component derating factors for each project.

Essential Duties and Responsibilities:

Required Competencies:
- Modifies existing products to support customer and manufacturing, to achieve regulatory compliance, and meet applicable industry standards, while satisfying market requirements.
- Analyzes electronics and electrical designs (analog) by hand and by using analysis tools such as LTSpice.
- Provide component engineering support to other electrical engineers and PCB layout designers
- Maintain OrCAD CIP and CIS part library, generate spec control drawings for electrical components
- Create or calculate reliability analysis, stress analysis, and Failure Modes and Effects analysis (FMEA).
- Participate on multi-discipline concurrent development and corrective action teams.
- Prepare, review, and approve the documentation required to define and control products. Prepare design proposals to present to customer once design is finalized. Support design reviews, both customer and internal as required.
- Coordinate and support the prototype manufacturing of products.
- Create and implement test procedures for products based on product requirements and customer specifications. Monitor testing and analyze data to verify performance of the prototype product to customer and design specifications. Review and approve test reports.
- Conduct failure analysis examinations and prepare Failure Analysis Reports (FAR) of findings.
- Provide technical support to all internal departments, suppliers, and customers as it relates to the product
- Create new circuit designs and advanced methodologies to support the Technical Roadmap of the organization
