Key Responsibilities Component Strategy and Governance

• Own and maintain the approved component portfolio, engineering standards, and component records.
• Establish preferred-component selection and qualification requirements.
• Drive component standardization, reuse, and rationalization across product platforms.
• Provide technical authority for component selection, derating, reliability, manufacturability, and substitution. Qualification and Reliability
• Evaluate and qualify electronic, electromechanical, sensing, and RF components.
• Develop component qualification plans, test requirements, and acceptance criteria.
• Assess component reliability, technology readiness, and suitability for intended applications.
• Investigate component-related failures and support root-cause and corrective-action activities. Engineering Change and Implementation
• Create and coordinate engineering change requests, drawings, specifications, bills of material, qualification records, and implementation plans.
• Support prototype builds, pilot runs, factory trials, compliance testing, and production release activities.
• Monitor post-implementation performance and address technical, quality, or manufacturing issues associated with approved changes.

Lifecycle and Supply Risk Management

• Monitor component availability, lifecycle status, obsolescence, lead times, and single-source exposure.
• Develop risk assessments and mitigation plans for new and existing products.
• Lead technical qualification of alternate and replacement components.
• Coordinate engineering changes resulting from component substitutions and supplier changes.
• Partner with Supply Chain and Procurement to improve supply continuity. Product Development and Regulatory Support
• Recommend approved components for new designs and participate in design reviews.
• Assess component feasibility during technology-readiness and project-initiation activities.
• Ensure components satisfy applicable safety, environmental, and regulatory requirements.
• Maintain component traceability, qualification evidence, and compliance records.
• Support compliance testing, agency submissions, and field-quality investigations. Cost and Value Engineering
• Identify component cost-reduction, consolidation, and value-engineering opportunities.
• Evaluate proposed cost changes for reliability, safety, compliance, and supply risk.
• Incorporate approved productivity components into the preferred component portfolio.
• Acts as Technical Owner for component-related Value Engineering and productivity projects to support Productivity Engineer ( Project Owner).
