For sustaining products, you will focus on cost reduction and design related yield improvements.

• He /she reviews, provides input for the design & architecture from DFM , Component technology used , EOL etc and influences the design team for optimum selection.
• During NPI’s they should provide all technical support required for Proto builds and ensures cost, Quality and delivery targets are met.
• During sustenance, need to handle change management activities & also need to work towards meeting factory and field Quality metrics.
• Drives Value Engineering activities to improve the cost margins during the product life cycle.
• Provides Supply chain continuity & Resiliency support.

• BS and 15+ years of work experience as product or design engineer.
• Excellent understanding on Electronic product design and architecture.
• Knowledge of PCB design , Stack ups and Allegro.
• Knowledge of Valor and DFM is a Plus . Knowledge of PCBA Manufacturing, System Build and NPI process.

• Demonstrated ability to develop new processes and design rules for new components as needed.
• Good understanding of Hardware interfaces – High speed serial interfaces , PCIE , Ethernet , SATA , I2C etc.
• Design lab experimentation / debug (proficiency continuum) / DOE /EFA.
• Technical lifecycle management (defect reduction team participation, new component qualification, etc).
• Assessing CM and supply chain technical capability gaps.

We tackle whatever challenges come our way. We have each other’s backs, we recognize our accomplishments, and we grow together. We celebrate and support one another – from big and small things in life to big career moments. And giving back is in our DNA (we get 10 days off each year to do just that).
