Overview

Nextpower is looking for a Senior Component Engineer & Library Specialist to lead electrical component selection, approval, and library governance across our product lines. This role owns the electrical component approval lifecycle in ECAD and PLM, ensuring selected parts meet technical, reliability, certification, manufacturability, supply chain, lifecycle, and cost requirements.

Responsibilities

• Lead evaluation, selection, qualification, and approval of electrical and electronic components.
• Act as gatekeeper for new component introduction and approval in ECAD/PLM workflows.
• Ensure selected parts meet design specifications, reliability, safety, regulatory, manufacturability, supply availability, and cost targets.
• Review component requests from electrical, power electronics, and PCB design teams.
• Promote reuse of approved components and reduce unnecessary part proliferation.
• Define and maintain approved manufacturers, alternates, and second‑source strategies for critical components.
• Own and maintain the electrical component library in ECAD and PLM systems.
• Ensure component records are accurate, standardized, complete and properly linked.
• Manage creation, review and release of schematic symbols, PCB footprints, 3D models, parametric data, datasheets, compliance documents, and manufacturer part information.
• Define and enforce library standards, naming conventions, metadata requirements, lifecycle states, and approval workflows.
• Perform periodic library audits and cleanup to maintain data quality.
• Monitor component lifecycle status, PCNs, EOL notices, availability, lead times, and supply chain risks.
• Work with engineering and supply chain to identify alternates, replacements, and risk mitigation plans.
• Support cost reduction, supply continuity, and design‑for‑availability initiatives.
• Engage with manufacturers, distributors, and suppliers to obtain technical, compliance, quality, and roadmap information.
• Support component‑related design reviews, derating discussions, reliability assessments, and manufacturability reviews.
• Collaborate with PCB designers to ensure symbols and footprints meet design, manufacturing, and assembly requirements.
• Partner with NPI, manufacturing, quality, and data management teams to resolve component or library issues.
• Train and support engineering teams on component approval processes, library usage, and best practices.

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Electronics Engineering, or a related technical field.
• 4+ years of experience in component engineering, electrical hardware engineering, PCB design support, or ECAD/PLM library management.
• Strong understanding of electronic components (passives, semiconductors, connectors, magnetics, power devices, protection devices, sensors, electromechanical components).
• Hands‑on experience with ECAD and PLM systems such as Altium, Cadence OrCAD/Allegro, Arena, Agile PLM, Teamcenter, or similar platforms.
• Experience managing schematic symbols, PCB footprints, component parameters, datasheets, manufacturer part numbers, approved vendors, and lifecycle data.
• Familiarity with environmental, safety, and regulatory compliance requirements such as RoHS, REACH, UL, IEC, or other relevant standards.
• Experience with power electronics, industrial electronics, energy systems, or automotive electronics is preferred.
• Strong attention to detail, ownership mindset, communication skills, and ability to work effectively with global cross‑functional teams and external suppliers.
• Fluent English (spoken and written).
