• Design PCB layout for a range of products within the audio, video, and control industry.
• Work collaboratively with the design engineering team in multiple domestic and international locations.
• Work with the NPI team in USA and internationally to ensure PCB release documentation is complete and improve product manufacturability both at QSC manufacturing and contract manufacturing sites.
• Provide engineering support for product sustaining due to EOL components and materials.
• Define technical and program direction, priorities, and processes necessary to support the manufacture of products and the improvement of manufacturing processes.
• Work with the manager and senior team members in Hardware Engineering to develop, track, and communicate tasks to meet timing and feature/quality objectives for new product development and sustaining engineering projects.
• Work closely with New Product Development, Manufacturing, Quality, and Test Engineering.
