1. Review existing production released designs to become the expert knowledge holder of functionality and performance using existing product documentation.
2. Maintain broad technical knowledge of electronic apparatus, components, or circuitry for use in electronic equipment and devices, including RF circuits, AC to DC converters, AC power factor correction, high power transistors and rectifiers, digital and analog loop stability, magnetic design, worst-case component analysis, digital hardware, firmware, RF test and measurement systems, and electrical/safety regulatory compliance.
3. Diagnose issues related to design, field performance, reliability, and manufacturing test yields of existing products using formal investigation methods and recommend/implement corrective actions.
4. Follow key engineering procedures including the ECO process, Copy Exact, and Product Development Process.
5. Identify product and process limitations and opportunities for product improvement.
6. Initiate and manage engineering changes through to completion using the ECO process.
7. Plan and implement engineering activities using project management tools, based on input from engineering management and cross-functional teams.
8. Provide guidance to junior engineers and technicians related to product-specific work.
9. Design and analyze derivative products based on existing products/subsystems, ensuring they meet specifications, cost, schedule, and quality goals.
10. Analyze manufacturing data using statistical methods to monitor performance.
11. Respond to changing priorities based on inputs from various departments such as Product Marketing, Manufacturing, Quality, and Support.
12. Identify obsolete components, evaluate replacements, and redesign circuitry as needed to meet performance and functionality standards.
13. Perform other duties as assigned.
