About the job

Electrical Product Engineer (2nd Shift) Shift: Second Shift, 3:30pm – 12am Reports To: Product Engineering Manager

Job Summary The Electrical Product Engineer is responsible for supporting the design, validation, industrialization, and lifecycle management of high-technology electronic products. This role serves as a key technical interface between design engineering, manufacturing, quality, supply chain, and test teams to ensure robust, cost-effective, and manufacturable electronic products that meet performance, reliability, and regulatory requirements.

Key Responsibilities Product Development & Industrialization

• Support electrical design transfer from R&D to manufacturing, ensuring design intent, documentation completeness, and manufacturability.
• Review schematics, PCB layouts, BOMs, and electrical specifications to identify risks and improvement opportunities.
• Lead or support New Product Introduction (NPI) activities, including prototype builds, pilot runs, and ramp to volume production.
• Collaborate with design teams to implement DFM, DFA, DFT, and cost-reduction improvements.

Manufacturing & Test Support

• Develop, review, and maintain electrical test strategies, including ICT, functional test, boundary scan, and system-level testing.
• Troubleshoot electrical issues during manufacturing, test, and field returns using structured root-cause analysis.
• Support yield improvement initiatives and corrective actions for electrical failures.
• Work closely with contract manufacturers (CMs) and suppliers to resolve technical issues.

Quality & Reliability

• Participate in design reviews, FMEA, reliability testing, and qualification activities.
• Ensure compliance with applicable standards and regulations (UL, CE, FCC, RoHS, REACH, etc.).
• Support failure analysis, corrective/preventive actions (CAPA), and continuous improvement efforts.

Documentation & Lifecycle Management

• Create and maintain electrical documentation including schematics, test specifications, ECOs, and manufacturing work instructions.
• Manage product changes throughout the product lifecycle, from NPI through sustaining engineering.
• Support product cost, performance, and reliability optimization over time.

Required Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering or equivalent.
• 3+ years of experience in product engineering, electrical engineering, or manufacturing engineering within the electronics industry.
• Strong understanding of electronic circuits, digital and analog design fundamentals.
• Experience with PCB design review, component selection, and BOM management.
• Hands-on experience with electrical test equipment (oscilloscopes, multimeters, logic analyzers, power supplies).
• Familiarity with NPI processes and electronics manufacturing environments.
• Ability to troubleshoot complex electrical issues and drive root-cause analysis.
• Strong communication skills and ability to work cross-functionally.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience in high-tech electronics such as IoT, networking, servers, industrial electronics, or embedded systems.
• Knowledge of high-speed digital interfaces, power electronics, or RF systems.
• Experience working with contract manufacturers and global supply chains.
• Familiarity with PLM systems and ECO processes.
• Experience with regulatory compliance and product certification.
• Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering is a plus.

Key Competencies

• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills
• Hands-on, detail-oriented engineering mindset
• Ability to manage multiple priorities in a fast-paced environment
• Data-driven decision making
• Continuous improvement mindset
