The Role As a Senior Component Engineer, you will serve as a critical liaison between design engineering and the supply chain, spearheading the development and execution of comprehensive Electrical Electronic Electromechanical (EEEE) Parts management plans. In this role, you will evaluate components for mission suitability within the most hostile environments and navigate complex military specifications to ensure the integrity of critical strategic systems.

Your responsibilities will include resolving technical challenges and non-conformances during manufacturing and testing, oversight of LM and Subcontractor EEEE Components, and participating/leading PMP issue resolutions with the Parts, Materials and Process Control Board (PMPCB).

Key Responsibilities

• Technical Authority:
  Serve as the responsible engineer for EEEE parts, ensuring all components meet program-specific reliability and performance requirements.
• Design Support:
  Collaborate with design teams to select optimal parts, perform derating analysis, and conduct Worst-Case Analysis (WCA).
• Risk Mitigation:
  Lead efforts to identify and mitigate risks associated with counterfeit parts, lead-free finishes, and part obsolescence.
• Failure Analysis:
  Drive Root Cause Analysis (RCA) and Corrective Action (RCCA) for component failures or production anomalies.
• Lifecycle Management:
  Participate in major program milestones, PMPCB, and interface directly with customers and sub-tier suppliers.

Desired skills

• Bachelor's degree in Engineering, Physics, or a related technical field with 3+ years of professional experience in Electrical, Electronic, and Electromechanical (EEE) components.
• In-depth knowledge of EEE component families (passives, semiconductors, ICs, hybrids) and their associated design, manufacturing, and material processes.
• Familiarity with military specifications and engineering requirements, such as Mil-STD-883, Mil-STD-750, Mil-PRF-19500, Mil-PRF-38534, Mil-PRF-38535, Mil-PRF-123, Mil-PRF-55365, Mil-PRF-55342. Mil-PRF-55365.
• Experience with radiation effects on EEE parts, Worst-Case Analysis (WCA), derating principles, and end-of-life (EOL) management.
• Proficiency in EEE parts testing, failure analysis, and non-conformance resolution.
• Experience participating in major technical reviews such as PDR and CDR; ability to influence company policy or industry standards committees.
• Experience supporting customer meetings to include the Parts, Materials and Processes Compliance Board (PMPCB).
• Strong communication and technical writing skills with a proven track record of collaborating effectively with customers and cross-functional teammates.
• Active or current Top Secret clearance.
