Senior Electrical Engineer

Responsibilities

• Manage component obsolescence - Identify, source, and evaluate alternates, and drive qualification and implementation of replacements.
• Execute design changes - Author, review, and implement Engineering Change Orders (ECOs), updating schematics, PCB layouts, wiring diagrams, BOMs, design history files (DHFs), specifications, test procedures, and FMEAs.
• Support manufacturing and production – Support Manufacturing and Test Engineering in troubleshooting PCBA assembly issues, identifying and resolving any design-related problems.
• Drive cost reduction and reliability improvements - Identify and implement design optimizations that reduce product cost or improve field reliability.
• Investigate and resolve field issues - Lead root cause analysis on product complaints, field failures, and manufacturing defects related to electrical/electronic subsystems.
• Ensure ongoing regulatory compliance - Verify that all design changes meet applicable safety, EMC, and regulatory standards within design control requirements.
• Partner with suppliers and cross-functional teams - Work with Supplier Engineering, Quality, Procurement, Manufacturing, Field Service, and Regulatory teams to qualify alternate suppliers, resolve incoming quality and product issues efficiently.
• Serve as subject matter expert - Own the design intent of legacy products and provide technical guidance and mentorship to junior engineers.
