Electrical Engineer Continuation Engineering (Manufacturing)

Key Responsibilities

• Support sustaining engineering activities for PCBAs used in tape automation systems.
• Investigate manufacturing, field, and supplier-related electrical issues.
• Perform root cause analysis using structured problem-solving methods.
• Assist with component obsolescence management and identification of alternate components.
• Support engineering change orders (ECOs), documentation updates, and product revisions.
• Work with contract manufacturers and suppliers to resolve production and test-related issues.
• Analyze electrical failures and coordinate corrective actions with cross-functional teams.
• Assist in qualification and validation of component substitutions, PCBA changes, and revised assemblies.
• Review schematics, bills of material (BOMs), test reports, and manufacturing documentation.
• Support failure analysis activities, reliability improvement efforts, and product continuation projects.
• Participate in design reviews and manufacturing readiness assessments.
• Develop and maintain test procedures, work instructions, and engineering documentation.
• Collaborate with quality, sourcing, service, product engineering, and manufacturing teams to ensure continued product performance and manufacturability.

Required Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering or a related field.
• 0-5 years of relevant experience. New graduates are encouraged to apply.
• Basic understanding of analog and digital electronics.
