Lincoln Technology Solutions (LTS) is seeking a highly driven and technically strong Sustaining Engineer to support customer issue resolution, product reliability investigations, production engineering support, and electrical design activities across LTS display and control platforms. This role is an engineering position with significant interaction across Quality, Manufacturing, Electrical Engineering, Software Engineering, suppliers, and customers. The ideal candidate has a strong electrical engineering background, hands‑on troubleshooting capability, electrical design experience, and experience operating in quality‑heavy product environments such as ISO 9001, medical, or manufacturing quality settings.

This role is best suited for an engineer who is comfortable working closely with Quality while maintaining technical ownership of engineering investigations, root cause analysis, corrective actions, reliability concerns, and production issue resolution. The Sustaining Engineer will report to the VP of Engineering.

• Serve as an engineering point of contact for customer technical issues, product concerns, and field escalations
• Lead and support technical investigations related to electrical performance, reliability, manufacturing defects, and customer‑reported failures
• Work cross‑functionally with Quality, Manufacturing, Electrical Engineering, Software Engineering, and external partners to identify root cause and drive corrective action
• Provide clear technical communication to internal stakeholders, customers, and suppliers
• Support customer‑facing technical discussions, including issue reviews, investigation updates, and resolution planning

• Provide engineering support for reliability analysis, failure analysis, and product quality investigations
• Support root cause and corrective action activities, including 8D, CAPA‑style investigations, and related documentation
• Apply familiarity with ISO 9001, medical product environments, manufacturing quality processes, APQP/PPAP, FMEA, and corrective action methods
• Review product history, test data, manufacturing data, schematics, layouts, BOMs, and system behavior to determine likely failure modes
• Partner with Quality to ensure investigations are technically sound, well documented, and effectively closed

• Support electrical design activities for new products, sustaining projects, product updates, and customer‑specific modifications
• Create, review, and update schematics and PCB layouts using Altium Designer
• Design and modify mixed‑signal, analog, and digital circuits to support display systems, control electronics, test platforms, and production hardware
• Support hardware platforms containing MCUs, FPGAs, high‑speed video/display interfaces, LED backlight controls, serialize rs, video bridges, and associated control systems
• Evaluate component selections, BOM changes, alternate components, and design updates for performance, manufacturability, reliability, and long‑term availability
• Collaborate with Electrical, Software, Firmware, Mechanical, Quality, and Manufacturing teams to implement robust design solutions
• Generate and maintain clear engineering documentation, design records, test results, and supporting technical materials

• Perform hands‑on electrical debug, PCB troubleshooting, and system‑level failure analysis
• Review schematics, PCB layouts, BOMs, and design documentation to support troubleshooting, design changes, and product improvement
• Support hardware bring‑up, validation, and production readiness activities
• Support EMC testing, reliability testing, manufacturing test, and validation activities
• Investigate component obsolescence, component substitutions, and production support issues
• Work with manufacturing teams to resolve build,…
