Key Responsibilities:

•         Perform technical assessments of electrical and electronic component obsolescence, supplier discontinuance notifications, and EOL risks.

·       Evaluate impacts to product performance, manufacturing operations, supply continuity, quality, and regulatory compliance.

•         Support mitigation plans, including alternate component qualification, second-source validation, redesign activities, last-time-buy recommendations, and inventory strategies.

·       Execute assigned lifecycle management and sustaining engineering projects with limited supervision, escalating complex issues when appropriate.

•         Investigate and resolve moderately complex issues related to quality, reliability, manufacturability, cost, and component availability.

•         Author and implement engineering changes, including impact assessments, risk evaluations, verification and validation activities, and documentation updates.

·       Review schematics, bills of materials, PCBAs, and component specifications to assess form-fit-function impacts and implementation requirements.

•         Coordinate with internal stakeholders and external suppliers to evaluate technical alternatives and implement practical solutions.

·       Manage assigned deliverables, schedules, risks, and actions, and communicate status to project teams and stakeholders.

•         Contribute to continuous improvement while maintaining compliance with applicable quality systems, design controls, and regulatory requirements.

Qualifications Required:

•         Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering or a related engineering discipline.

•         Minimum 3 years of relevant engineering experience in manufacturing, medical devices, or another regulated industry.

•         Experience with electronic components, PCBAs, electrical systems, schematics, and engineering documentation.

•         Knowledge of engineering change processes and product lifecycle management principles.

•         Strong analytical, organizational, problem-solving, and communication skills.

Preferred:

•         Experience supporting released products in sustaining engineering, technical stewardship, or lifecycle management.

•         Experience with component obsolescence analysis and EOL assessments.

•         Familiarity with ISO 13485, ISO 14971, FDA quality requirements, and design controls.

•         Experience with Windchill, SAP, or similar PLM and ERP systems.

•         Experience with medical devices, capital equipment, embedded electronics, or electromechanical systems.
