Component Engineer

Component Engineer

The Component Engineer possesses in-depth knowledge of electronic components and failures modes and serves as a bridge between project teams, component manufacturers, and supply chain to ensure a design meets the project design goals, is manufacturable, and is reliable. The Component Engineer is also responsible for qualification of electronic components for use in extreme, high-reliability environments. The primary responsibilities of a Component Engineer include (but are not limited to):

• Component selection based on the design requirement (Micro controllers, Processor, OpAmps, ADCs, DACs, Transistors, MoSFETs, Voltage regulators, Power convertors, Communication circuit components, All semiconductors components in electronics etc)
• Knowledge on component selection criteria for electronic circuits
• Component qualification testing in harsh environment like high temp, vibration and shock testing environments
• Knowledge on high temp electronic components
• Component failure modes and analysis and providing solution for design modification
• Test circuit design and development for component qualification
• Component sourcing details,availability, lead time etc
• Alternate component selection based on this existing design needs
• Component Obsolescence management
• Understand component data sheets
