Component Lifecycle Management
- Lead Engineering Change Notices (ECNs/ECOs) to update drawings, BOMs, and documentation.
- Work with cross-functional teams to communicate and implement design changes that improve quality, cost, reliability, or manufacturability.
- Manage component obsolescence by qualifying replacement parts, validating alternates, and ensuring functional compatibility with suppliers.
Build, Test, & Verification
- Develop test plans and verification methods for redesigns or component updates.
- Validate that changes maintain or improve product performance, reliability, and compliance with applicable standards.
Cross-Functional Collaboration & Continuous Improvement
- Identify opportunities for cost reduction, component standardization, and design simplification.
- Improve manufacturability (DFM) and serviceability (DFS) for existing product lines.
- Support ongoing process improvement within the engineering team.
- Provide rapid engineering support for manufacturing, quality, supply chain, and field service teams, including production line issue resolution.
Documentation Control
- Maintain accurate engineering data, including CAD models, drawings, wiring diagrams, and product configurations.
- Ensure design intent is accurately captured and maintained within CAD, PLM, and ERP systems.
Reliability, Safety & Compliance
- Perform FMEA, stress analysis, thermal reviews, tolerance analysis, or other engineering evaluations as needed.
- Verify that products remain compliant with relevant industry standards and regulatory requirements.
