Electrical Engineer Hardware Sustaining & Test Engineering

Job Description:

What You will Do:

• Conduct full Bill of Materials (BoM) scrubs to identify at-risk and End-of-Life (EOL) components; recommend and qualify alternate components.

• Perform documented Change Impact Analysis (CIA) on component changes, evaluating form, fit, and function impacts with associated risk ratings.

• Author and execute complete ECO packages including updated schematics, PCB layouts, CAD models, and validation plans.

• Coordinate with firmware/software teams to validate releases against hardware configurations.

• Conduct 8D Failure Analysis investigations including containment actions, root-cause identification, corrective actions, and preventive measures.

• Collaborate with quality, manufacturing, and design teams to drive permanent resolution of field and production failures.

What You Will Bring:

Education: Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Electronics Engineering, or related field (Master's preferred).

Experience: 4+ years of experience in hardware sustaining engineering, product engineering, or test engineering in a consumer electronics or hardware manufacturing environment.
