Essential Functions

The responsibilities of a Component Engineer will generally be as follows, somewhat in this order of priorities:

• Aiding supply-chain and manufacturing in obtaining new and critical parts by first filtering through alternative component options and working with a larger team to determine the fitness of these options. This encompasses analyzing daily change-notices, EOLs, obsoletes and – mostly – elongated lead times.
• Preparing Engineering Change Requests, Manufacturing Change Requests or Deviations to obtain old parts to support production – within our PDM system.
• Review hardware drawings (schematics / PCB files) to understand component fitness.
• Lead qualification of new electrical and/or mechanical components for NPD programs
• Creating and maintaining a tracking list of issues per part that can result in an executive summary for periodic review.
• Analyzing part failure; request part failure analysis reports from vendors.
• Supporting design engineers in finding, selecting and documenting new components.
• Coordinate with global purchasing and qualification team to do any sustaining activity for production smoothly
• Writing Calculating Failure Modes and Effects Analysis (FMEA) and MTBF's
• Executing verification tests.
• Executing Document tests and generating CIA's (Change Impact Analysis) to explain change etc.
• Understanding the hardware architecture of the products
• Company interface to component / parts suppliers and test and service suppliers.
• Working in a diverse team environment, as well as independently

Required skills

• Electrical Engineering, focused in components
• Strong verbal, writing and organized
• Good interpersonal communication skills and experience in working with global teams
