System understanding & trainings on existing products lines.
Conduct hardware verification and validate design changes, ensuring minimal impact on overall system performance. Testing hardware is carried out when new components are implemented due to design changes, supply continuity needs, end-of-life replacements, new features, or other influencing factors.
Collaborate with engineering, manufacturing, and quality teams to ensure successful integration of hardware changes.
Support production and troubleshooting by providing technical expertise regarding design updates.
Conduct root-cause analysis of any faults or performance issues and propose design updates.
Oversee or participate in prototype testing and validation of hardware changes.
Maintain up-to-date knowledge of industry trends, technologies, and compliance standards relevant to hardware design.
Communicating design change impacts project stakeholders and contributes to continuous design process improvement.
Engineering testing is performed on hardware components for first lot validation, which is referred to as First Article Inspection.
Experience with hardware design, change management and engineering change control processes.
Hands-on experience in troubleshooting, prototype building, and root-cause analysis
Dry running the hardware for new component implementation.
On the production side, hardware failure analysis and reporting are conducted. Failures occurring during the manufacturing and assembly process are analyzed, and a report is generated with the identified root cause and proposed solution.
An additional advantage is the ability to perform Level 2 analysis on customer complaints, including detailed investigation and reporting of findings.
BOM Analysis and Feasibility Analysis
Alternate supplier identification for selected components
Extensive experience in microcontroller (latest models), CPLD/FPGA and/or digital logic, Serial protocols (USB, I2C, SPI, RS232, etc.)
Must have strong knowledge in various design analysis for digital board & Mixed signal designs such as timing, noise margin, part stress, DFMEA and worst-case analysis.
Previous experience in analog control electronics, sensor and solutioning
Must have circuit design experience (Mentor Expedition, OrCAD OR equivalent, Expedition is preferred)
Experience in electrical requirements, board specification and system requirement writing.
Knowledge of Embedded software and good understanding of communication interfaces like USB, Ethernet.
Must be familiar with technical work instruction and drawings, and good documentation practices.
Creating Board (PBCA) Test Plan and Test Protocols.
Board (PCBA) Testing and debugging support.
Experience in closely working with system and sub-system teams and fully understand electrical, mechanical, and software interfaces between sub-systems and the corresponding flow of data/information.
Experience in tracking issues associated with sub-system releases, identifying the responsible team(s) and sub-system(s), communicating with the concerned personnel, and driving issues through to resolution.
Support new product introduction (NPI) transition from design to manufacturing.
Drive design reviews, define interfaces between code modules, and apply existing technology to designs.
To perform analysis on obsolete components, finding alternative components, developing test plans and test procedures.
Implementation of Board layout fabrication.
Formalized testing to execute those components
