What the job involves

In this leadership position, you will be the driving force behind a specialized team of 8-10 Electrical NPI Engineers
Your role is highly collaborative; you will serve as the technical bridge between our internal Hardware and Mechanical Engineering leaders and our external Contract Manufacturing (CM) partners
By working closely with Engineering, Product Ops Managers and various cross-functional teams, you will ensure that our High Performance, High Layer Count PCA designs are successfully translated into high-volume production readiness
This is a highly technical, hands-on Engineering role focused on New Product Introduction (NPI) involving the design of advanced SMT PCBs and their manufacturability
As the Manager of Electrical NPI Engineering, you will lead a specialized team responsible for successfully introducing complex electrical designs from prototype to high-volume manufacturing
You are the primary technical bridge between design engineering and our manufacturing partners, ensuring design for manufacturability, reliability, and quality are integrated throughout the product lifecycle
You will oversee each product design identifying DFM improvements in the early concept and prototype stages of development, supporting HWDE’s, SI and CAD layout engineers with the product introduction into our contract manufacturers
Knowledge of advanced manufacturing process, understanding high layer count PCB’s and their advanced PCB structures and design methodology, heavily emphasizing SMT and complex high-layer-count PCB assembly, and leading continuous improvement to boost yields and scalability in the following areas:
Drive new PCA designs with HW Engineering identifying and resolving DFM for SMT, PCB assembly, and system integration
Optimize complex, high-layer count PCB manufacturing, including advanced structures and large BGAs
Oversee process validation, troubleshooting, and failure analysis
Support NPI from prototype to full production and end of life
Manage ECOs and version control using PLM systems (Propel)
Lead continuous improvement in yield, cost, and quality
Develop best practices for SMT and PCB assembly, ensuring compliance with IPC/regulatory standards
Collaborate cross-functionally and with supply chain/procurement for efficiency and optimized inventory
