Responsibilities:
- Serve as the primary DfX electrical engineering authority on cross‑functional product development teams, influencing system architecture and electrical design decisions to ensure manufacturable and robust solutions.
- Drive early‑phase architecture reviews to minimize electrical complexity, reduce component count, and enhance modularity and scalability.
- Champion standardization of electrical modules, interconnects, cables, and PCBA strategies across platforms.
- Provide principal-level, specialized guidance on schematic design, PCB layout best practices, grounding strategies, EMC/EMI mitigation, power distribution, and high‑reliability interconnects.
- Lead manufacturability assessments for PCBAs, wiring harnesses, power systems, sensor interfaces, RF/analog circuits, and mixed-signal designs.
- Define and enforce design guidelines that improve yield, assembly efficiency, reliability, and serviceability.
- Develop advanced test strategies including ICT, boundary‑scan/JTAG, functional test, continuity test, and PCBA-level diagnostics.
- Partner with manufacturing sites to define robust electrical test access, fixture designs, and automated test solutions.
- Lead DfX review cycles and process capability assessments for electrical components and assemblies.
- Collaborate with Supply Chain and suppliers to select cost-effective, high-reliability components with long‑term availability.
- Assess supplier DFM packages, manufacturing methods, and electrical process controls to ensure design intent is met globally.
- Resolve complex supplier‑related electrical issues and drive qualification activities.
Qualifications:
Bachelor's degree in electrical engineering (Master's preferred) with 8+ years (10 preferred) of relevant electrical design and manufacturing engineering experience.
