Electrical Engineer Continuation Engineering (Manufacturing)
About The Position
This role focuses on supporting sustaining engineering activities for Printed Circuit Board Assemblies (PCBAs) used in tape automation systems. The engineer will investigate and resolve manufacturing, field, and supplier-related electrical issues, perform root cause analysis, and manage component obsolescence. Responsibilities include supporting engineering change orders, collaborating with contract manufacturers and suppliers, analyzing electrical failures, and assisting with qualification and validation processes. The role also involves reviewing technical documentation, supporting failure analysis and reliability efforts, and participating in design reviews and manufacturing readiness assessments. Development and maintenance of test procedures and engineering documentation are key, along with collaboration across various teams to ensure product performance and manufacturability.
Requirements
- Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering or a related field.
- 0-5 years of relevant experience. New graduates are encouraged to apply.
- Basic understanding of analog and digital electronics.
- Ability to read and interpret circuit schematics and electronic component documentation.
- Strong analytical, troubleshooting, and problem-solving skills.
- Ability to work effectively in a cross-functional team environment.
- Strong written and verbal communication skills.
- Comfortable working onsite and engaging directly with manufacturing and lab environments.
Nice To Haves
- Internship, co-op, senior project, or lab experience involving electronics or PCBAs.
- Experience with oscilloscopes, multimeters, logic analyzers, or other electrical lab equipment.
- Familiarity with Altium, OrCAD, Cadence, or similar ECAD tools.
- Exposure to electronics manufacturing, reliability testing, failure analysis, or manufacturing test.
- Understanding of product lifecycle management (PLM) systems and engineering change processes.
Responsibilities
- Support sustaining engineering activities for PCBAs used in tape automation systems.
- Investigate manufacturing, field, and supplier-related electrical issues.
- Perform root cause analysis using structured problem-solving methods.
- Assist with component obsolescence management and identification of alternate components.
- Support engineering change orders (ECOs), documentation updates, and product revisions.
- Work with contract manufacturers and suppliers to resolve production and test-related issues.
- Analyze electrical failures and coordinate corrective actions with cross-functional teams.
- Assist in qualification and validation of component substitutions, PCBA changes, and revised assemblies.
- Review schematics, bills of material (BOMs), test reports, and manufacturing documentation.
- Support failure analysis activities, reliability improvement efforts, and product continuation projects.
- Participate in design reviews and manufacturing readiness assessments.
- Develop and maintain test procedures, work instructions, and engineering documentation.
- Collaborate with quality, sourcing, service, product engineering, and manufacturing teams to ensure continued product performance and manufacturability.
