Job description

We are seeking a highly motivated and experienced Electrical & Electronics Engineer with 5-8 years of hands-on experience in electronic circuit design, schematic development, troubleshooting, root cause analysis, and component validation. The engineer will work at the customer location and collaborate with cross-functional teams to support product development, sustaining engineering, manufacturing, and production builds. The role requires strong analytical capability, practical problem-solving skills, and a commitment to product quality, reliability, and timely issue resolution.

Key Responsibilities

Circuit & Schematic Design

• Design, develop, review, and modify analog, digital, and mixed-signal electronic circuits.
• Create and maintain electrical schematics, wiring diagrams, design records, and engineering documentation.
• Support design changes and engineering change implementation while ensuring technical accuracy and traceability.
• Participate in design reviews and recommend improvements for performance, reliability, manufacturability, and serviceability.

Root Cause Analysis & Troubleshooting

• Perform structured root cause analysis and failure investigations for electrical and electronic systems.
• Troubleshoot complex circuit-level, PCB-level, subsystem-level, and system-level issues.
• Define and implement corrective and preventive actions, and drive technical issues through closure.
• Analyze production defects, field failures, and customer-reported issues using data-driven problem-solving methods.
• Evaluate alternate or replacement components for obsolescence, availability, reliability, and cost considerations.
• Conduct electrical, functional, and reliability testing of components, PCB assemblies, and electronic subsystems.
• Validate form, fit, function, interface compatibility, and compliance with applicable design specifications.
• Prepare test plans, document results, summarize technical findings, and provide qualification recommendations.

Production Build & Manufacturing Support

• Provide hands-on engineering support during prototype, pilot, production, and sustaining builds.
• Partner with manufacturing and operations teams to resolve build issues and maintain production continuity.
• Support production readiness through design reviews, test coverage assessment, and risk identification.
• Drive continuous improvements in manufacturability, yield, quality, and troubleshooting effectiveness.

Cross-Functional Collaboration

• Work closely with Mechanical Engineering, Manufacturing Engineering, Quality, Supply Chain, Procurement, Service, and Supplier teams.
• Coordinate with global stakeholders and external suppliers to resolve design, component, and production challenges.
• Communicate technical risks, findings, recommendations, and action plans clearly to engineering and program stakeholders.
• Provide technical guidance and mentoring to junior engineers when required.

Skill Requirements

Required Qualifications

• Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electrical Engineering, Electronics Engineering, or a related discipline.
• 5-8 years of relevant industry experience in electrical or electronics engineering.
• Strong knowledge of circuit design, schematic development, electronic components, and electronic systems.
• Hands-on experience troubleshooting PCB assemblies and electronic subsystems.
• Proven experience in root cause analysis, failure analysis, corrective actions, testing, and validation.
• Experience supporting manufacturing operations and production builds in a cross-functional environment.
• Strong technical documentation, report-writing, communication, and stakeholder-management skills.

Preferred Technical Skills

• Proficiency with oscilloscopes, digital multimeters, signal generators, logic analyzers, power supplies, and related laboratory equipment.
• Experience with schematic and PCB design tools such as Altium Designer, OrCAD, Cadence, Mentor Graphics, or equivalent.
• Knowledge of Design for Manufacturing (DFM), Design for Testability (DFT), component lifecycle management, and obsolescence engineering.
• Exposure to structured quality and problem-solving methods such as 8D, FMEA, CAPA, Six Sigma, or Lean Manufacturing.
• Experience in semiconductor equipment, industrial automation, electronics manufacturing, medical devices, automotive electronics, or similar regulated/high-reliability environments.
• Strong analytical thinking and systematic problem-solving ability.
• Effective collaboration across engineering, manufacturing, quality, supply chain, and supplier organizations.
• Ability to work independently and responsibly in an onsite customer environment.
• High attention to detail, quality, safety, and documentation.
• Ability to manage multiple priorities and deliver results within committed timelines.
