Sr Advanced Hardware Engr

• Ability to work in any of the VE CE life cycle stages, including Ideation, Evaluation, Execution, and Implementation of ideas/projects.
• Responsible and accountable for all Value Component engineering projects and their implementation through collaborative effort with Engineering teams.
• Review the current Electronic board design considering the current technologies in terms of components, materials, and processes; propose ideations to reduce BoM cost either by redesign optimization.
• Ability to redesign electronic circuits to reduce product cost.
• Drive and participate in cost reduction idea generation for existing products; perform or support feasibility review of new ideas assigned.
• Essential deep knowledge of:
• Analog (opamps, BJT, MOSFET, etc.)
• Digital design (Microcontrollers, ADC, DAC, memory devices, etc.)
• Knowledge of electronic circuits, power supplies, connectors, and subsystems.
• Experience with conditional qualification testing.
• Study and understand PCB Schematics and Layout Design documents with respect to new component proposals.
• Experience in hardware component selection process, application specifications, and ability to identify CTQs.
• Mitigate all technical roadblocks and drive implementation of proposed ideations.
• Ability to predict and quantify design risk in terms of existing and new components/proposals.
• Total cost model preparation and approval:
• Collect project data such as cost of engineering services, capital investment, other services, project length, etc.
• Define the Return on Investment.
• Test plan preparation, component and product level qualification:
• Prepare specific test plans.
• Support and perform the required testing in the laboratory for the projects to ensure ideas/alternative components meet requirements and final product performance specifications.
• Experience in Value Component engineering, Design to Cost, and Should Costing methodologies.
• Good understanding of Component Change Management Process and PLM tools.
• Experience in SAP, PDM, Team Center/Windchill, and Agile tools will be an added advantage.
