About The Position

The Component Engineer supports electronic and electromechanical component management across the product lifecycle, including selection, qualification, classification, and obsolescence mitigation. Works closely with electrical design, supply chain, and manufacturing teams to ensure components are technically appropriate, available, and compliant. Applies practical electrical design knowledge to understand component function within circuits and to interpret and analyze electrical Bills of Materials (BOMs), schematics, and related documentation. Evaluates component specifications, identifies lifecycle risks, and recommends qualified alternates or second sources. Contributes to component database management, engineering documentation, and cross‑functional problem resolution. Actively supports continuous improvement of component engineering processes through the development and implementation of automation solutions and integration of data analytics and AI‑based tools to enhance efficiency, accuracy, and scalability.

Requirements

• Bachelor of Science (B.S.) degree in Electrical Engineering or a related engineering discipline from an ABET‑accredited program preferred
• 1-3 years of relevant experience in component engineering, electrical hardware engineering, or electronic product development
• An equivalent combination of education and experience may be considered.

Responsibilities

• Support and collaborate with electrical and mechanical design engineers during component selection to ensure components meet electrical performance, environmental, reliability, and manufacturability requirements
• Independently interpret and analyze electrical Bills of Materials (BOMs) to verify part correctness, parametric alignment, lifecycle status, and sourcing strategy
• Review electrical schematics, BOMs, parts lists, and assembly documentation to understand component application within circuit designs
• Perform BOM scrubbing activities, including identification of obsolete, invalid, incomplete, or non-preferred components, and recommend qualified alternates or second sources
• Create, maintain, and update component records in the internal component database (e.g., Component Control Numbers (CCNs), approved alternates, and sourcing notes)
• Track and assess End of Life (EOL) notices, Product Change Notices (PCNs), and manufacturer discontinuation risks
• Participate in EOL planning, supply chain alert meetings, and cross functional reviews to mitigate component availability risks
• Support or perform component level testing and evaluation of alternate or substitute components; document results and recommendations based on experience level
• Apply practical electrical design knowledge to evaluate technical impact of component substitutions and engineering changes
• Collaborate with Supply Chain, Planning, and Procurement to ensure component availability does not disrupt production or sustainment activities
• Engage with Import/Export Control and Trade Compliance teams to assist with component Export Control Classification Numbers (ECCN) and Harmonized Tariff Schedule (HTS) classifications
• Support Receiving and Inspection with component identification and verification questions
• Generate and maintain component related engineering documentation, including Source Control Drawings and Altered Item Drawings, where applicable
• Communicate effectively with engineering, manufacturing, quality, and supply chain stakeholders across a concurrent engineering environment
