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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
