Responsibilities

Product Development & Industrialization Support electrical design transfer from R&D to manufacturing, ensuring design intent, documentation completeness, and manufacturability.
Review schematics, PCB layouts, BOMs, and electrical specifications to identify risks and improvement opportunities.
Lead or support New Product Introduction (NPI) activities, including prototype builds, pilot runs, and ramp to volume production.
Collaborate with design teams to implement DFM, DFA, DFT, and cost-reduction improvements.
Manufacturing & Test Support Develop, review, and maintain electrical test strategies, including ICT, functional test, boundary scan, and system-level testing.
Troubleshoot electrical issues during manufacturing, test, and field returns using structured root-cause analysis.
Support yield improvement initiatives and corrective actions for electrical failures.
Work closely with contract manufacturers (CMs) and suppliers to resolve technical issues.
Quality & Reliability Participate in design reviews, FMEA, reliability testing, and qualification activities.
Ensure compliance with applicable standards and regulations (UL, CE, FCC, RoHS, REACH, etc.).
Support failure analysis, corrective/preventive actions (CAPA), and continuous improvement efforts.
Documentation & Lifecycle Management Create and maintain electrical documentation including schematics, test specifications, ECOs, and manufacturing work instructions.
Manage product changes throughout the product lifecycle, from NPI through sustaining engineering.
Support product cost, performance, and reliability optimization over time.
