TEEMA is seeking a Component Engineer for a confidential client in electronics manufacturing. This position focuses on evaluating and qualifying alternate electronic components to address supply shortages, reduce component risk, and support production continuity.

You will collaborate with engineering, procurement, supply chain, and manufacturing teams, taking ownership of component issues from initial assessment through testing, documentation, and release.

Key Responsibilities

• Identify drop-in replacements and functional alternatives for at-risk electronic components and connectors.
• Review schematics and datasheets to assess component compatibility and performance within existing circuits.
• Develop and execute bench tests using oscilloscopes, power supplies, and multimeters.
• Work with procurement to assess sourcing options and determine appropriate technical solutions.
• Prepare validation summaries, process approved parts through PDM systems, and coordinate Engineering Change Orders (ECOs).
• Identify potential safety and regulatory certification impacts and elevate issues requiring additional engineering support.
• Maintain component risk trackers and provide clear progress updates to stakeholders.

Required Qualifications

• Degree or diploma in Electrical or Electronics Engineering.
• At least 3 years of hands‑on experience in hardware design, sustaining engineering, or component engineering.
• Strong ability to interpret schematics and assess electronic component performance in‑circuit.
• Solid knowledge of op‑amps, regulators, passives, memory, protection devices, and magnetics.
• Hands‑on proficiency in bench testing, test setup development, and circuit debugging.
• Sound engineering judgment when assessing component substitutions and performance risks.
• Strong organizational and communication skills, with the ability to manage multiple component approvals independently.
• Ability to work onsite in Saanichton, BC.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with component obsolescence, end‑of‑life management, and second‑sourcing.
• Familiarity with formal ECO processes and PDM/PLM systems.
• Background in power electronics or mixed‑signal design.
• Understanding of UL/CSA safety certifications and how component substitutions may affect compliance.
• Familiarity with EDA tools.
• Experience collaborating with procurement, supply chain, or contract manufacturers.
