Job description

Our client is an established provider of power supply solutions for industrial and other high-reliability applications. Due to business needs, they are now recruiting an Electrical Engineer / Senior Electrical Engineer to support product sustaining, engineering improvements and ongoing product lifecycle activities. They are located in the North-East of Singapore, with convenient accessibility.

Responsibilities

• Lead sustaining engineering activities for switch-mode power supply (SMPS) products, focusing on product reliability, quality, cost optimization and manufacturability.
• Lead electrical engineering activities covering product testing, failure analysis, engineering improvements, quality and reliability throughout the product lifecycle.
• Perform hands-on debugging and verification of SMPS products, circuits and components, including efficiency, thermal performance, voltage regulation, transient response, protection functions, conducted and radiated EMI pre-compliance testing, and electrical safety testing.
• Develop test plans and procedures, conduct engineering tests, collect and analyse test data, prepare test reports and maintain accurate technical documentation.
• Drive value engineering and cost-reduction initiatives, including qualification of alternative components and suppliers without compromising product performance.
• Conduct Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA) to identify critical and high-risk electrical design issues, perform evaluation testing and implement risk mitigation measures.
• Perform root cause analysis to identify failure mechanisms, determine appropriate countermeasures and resolve product-related electrical issues.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams across global manufacturing sites to support product sustaining activities and manage products throughout their lifecycles.
• Design and develop hardware- and software-based test systems to achieve test automation.
• Support component lifecycle management and maintain product compliance requirements.

Requirements

• Bachelor's degree, Master's degree or equivalent qualification in Electrical Engineering, Electronic Engineering or a related discipline.
• At least 8 years of experience in electrical/electronics product development or sustaining engineering.
• Strong fundamentals in analogue, power and digital electronics, with the ability to interpret schematics, understand component functions and analyse electrical stresses in circuits and components.
• Experience in qualifying electronic components and systems, with an understanding of common electronics design and manufacturing processes; hands‑on experience in environmental testing and laboratory equipment and instruments is required.
• Proficiency in FMEA, 8D, Design of Experiments (DOE) and statistical analysis; conversant with ECAD tools such as Altium or OrCAD for schematics, PCB and Gerber files. Familiarity with Microsoft 365 applications, Teams and SharePoint is also required.

Additional Advantages

• Experience in high-voltage measurement techniques using laboratory equipment such as high-voltage probes and oscilloscopes.
• Familiarity with SMPS topologies, including flyback/forward, resonant/LLC, power factor correction (PFC) front-ends, multipliers and high-voltage bias supplies.
• Experience in high-reliability industries such as medical, industrial, automotive or aerospace.
