The Design for Excellence (DfX) Electrical Engineer is a technical leader responsible for ensuring that electrical, electronic, and electro-mechanical system designs are optimized for manufacturability, testability, reliability, scalability, serviceability, and cost. This role directly influences architecture and design decisions from concept through market release and plays a key leadership role in preparing analytical and medical instruments for production volume, highly reliable production. Operating with minimal supervision, the Principal DfX Electrical Engineer partners across R&D, Systems Engineering, Manufacturing Engineering, Quality, and Supply Chain to drive best-in-class design practices, lead complex design reviews, guide root-cause investigations, and define DfX strategy for new and legacy products.
Responsibilities:- Serve as the primary DfX electrical engineering authority on cross-functional product development teams, influencing system architecture and electrical design decisions to ensure manufacturable and robust solutions.
- Drive early-phase architecture reviews to minimize electrical complexity, reduce component count, and enhance modularity and scalability.
- Champion standardization of electrical modules, interconnects, cables, and PCBA strategies across platforms.
- Provide principal-level, specialized guidance on schematic design, PCB layout best practices, grounding strategies, EMC/EMI mitigation, power distribution, and high-reliability interconnects.
- Lead manufacturability assessments for PCBAs, wiring harnesses, power systems, sensor interfaces, RF/analog circuits, and mixed-signal designs.
- Define and enforce design guidelines that improve yield, assembly efficiency, reliability, and serviceability.
- Develop advanced test strategies including ICT, boundary-scan/JTAG, functional test, continuity test, and PCBA-level diagnostics.
- Partner with manufacturing sites to define robust electrical test access, fixture designs, and automated test solutions.
- Lead DfX review cycles and process capability assessments for electrical components and assemblies.
- Collaborate with Supply Chain and suppliers to select cost-effective, high-reliability components with long-term availability.
- Assess supplier DFM packages, manufacturing methods, and electrical process controls to ensure design intent is met globally.
- Resolve complex supplier-related electrical issues and drive qualification activities.
Qualifications:
Bachelor's degree in electrical engineering (Master's preferred) with 8+ years (10 preferred) of relevant electrical design and manufacturing engineering experience.
Strong expertise with:
- Schematic capture and PCB layout tools
- PCBA manufacturing processes (SMT, wave, reflow, AOI/AXI, ICT)
- Cable and harness design, connectors, shielding, strain relief
- Electrical test equipment and test methodology
- Demonstrated experience influencing design architecture and driving cross-functional decision making
- Experience working in regulated environments (medical, aerospace, defense, or similar)
- Strong documentation and communication skills
- Experience with electrical reliability engineering, HALT/HASS, DFMEA, PFMEA
- Working knowledge of system-level integration of electronics with mechanical, firmware, and optical subsystems
- Experience with manufacturing transfer and global supply chain engagement
- Familiarity with automation, robotics, motion control, or power electronics
