We're looking to bring on an Electrical Engineering resource(s) for our System Validation team
What You Will Do- Conduct full Bill of Materials (BoM) scrubs to identify at-risk and End-of-Life (EOL) components; recommend and qualify alternate components.
- Perform documented Change Impact Analysis (CIA) on component changes, evaluating form, fit, and function impacts with associated risk ratings.
- Author and execute complete ECO packages including updated schematics, PCB layouts, CAD models, and validation plans.
- Coordinate with firmware/software teams to validate releases against hardware configurations.
- Conduct 8D Failure Analysis investigations including containment actions, root-cause identification, corrective actions, and preventive measures.
- Collaborate with quality, manufacturing, and design teams to drive permanent resolution of field and production failures.
Education:
Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Electronics Engineering, or related field (Master's preferred).
Experience:4+ years of experience in hardware sustaining engineering, product engineering, or test engineering in a consumer electronics or hardware manufacturing environment.
Skills & Competencies- Must Have:
Electronic Component Engineering. This person should be an expert at working with individual electronic parts (chips, resistors, capacitors, connectors, sensors, etc.) that go onto a circuit board. Specifically, Reading & interpreting datasheets, Component lifecycle management and Component selection & qualification - Proficiency in schematic capture and PCB layout tools (Altium, Cadence OrCAD, or equivalent)
- Experience with CAD/3D modeling tools for electromechanical design
- Strong understanding of electronic component specifications, datasheets, and lifecycle management
- Familiarity with firmware/hardware integration and embedded systems
