NPI Engineer
Location: Tel-Aviv (IL)
Description
As an NPI Engineer at XTEND, you will serve as the critical technical bridge between R&D and mass production. In an ecosystem that includes a Configuration Manager (focused on PLM/ECO) and a Production Engineer (focused on assembly and jigs), your role is to ensure that engineering designs are mature, high-quality, and scalable. You will focus on hardware optimization, technical vendor management (EMS), and leading complex Transfer to Production (TTP) processes.
Main Responsibilities:
- Engineering Focal Point: Act as the primary technical liaison between R&D and Production, leading Design Reviews for DFM (Manufacturing), DFA (Assembly), and DFT (Testing).
- Transfer to Production (TTP): Lead NPI activities from the prototype phase through mass production, ensuring a smooth transition and preventing technical bottlenecks.
- Quality & Yield Management: Define Critical-to-Quality (CTQ) features, manage First Article Inspection (FAI) reports, and perform deep-dive Failure Analysis (RCA) on hardware components.
- Technical Interface: Maintain continuous technical communication with Contract Manufacturers (EMS) and strategic suppliers, both locally and globally.
- Content Integrity: Responsible for the technical accuracy of product files, BOMs, and specifications before they are implemented into the PLM by the Configuration Manager.
- Production Support: Support production line bring-up, manage Alpha/Beta builds, and analyze production yields to ensure continuity and scalability.
Requirements
- Education: B.Sc. in Electrical or Electronic Engineering.
- Experience: 3–5 years of proven experience in Engineering/NPI roles for multidisciplinary products (Hardware, Mechanics, and Software)-MUST.
- Technical Skills: Strong hands-on experience with electronics manufacturing, including PCBAs , and complex system-MUST.
- Engineering Proficiency: High level of proficiency in reading schematics, CAD models, and complex engineering drawings.
- Vendor Management: Proven experience in managing Turn-key projects and technical communication with EMS providers.
- Analytical Thinking: Ability to perform systematic root-cause analysis for hardware failures.
- Communication: Excellent teamwork skills and high-level English (both verbal and written) for global vendor interface.
- Soft Skills: Self-motivated, proactive, and able to thrive in a high-pressure, fast-paced startup environment.
Advantages:
- Experience with CAD tools: Solidworks / Visio / Orcad.
- Familiarity with Priority ERP.
- Previous experience with Arena PLM.
- Background in Drone technology, Robotics, or Aerospace systems.
