Purpose of this Position
As a Senior Hardware Engineer in the Product Sustaining Department (Industrial Computer Product Line), you will play a critical role in lifecycle management and design optimization for mass-produced products. You will lead technical operations, drive engineering change and provide advanced technical support to ensure product continuity. This role requires cross-functional leadership to resolve complex technical issues, mitigate supply chain risks (such as component obsolescence), and effectively extend product longevity.
Major Areas of Responsibility
- Hardware Sustaining & Design Optimization:
Lead Hardware Revisions: Drive hardware design updates and PCBA revisions in response to supply chain disruptions (e.g., component EOL, long lead times) or to enhance product performance, signal integrity, and long-term reliability.
- Technical Project Management: Manage the schedules, milestones, and deliverables for all hardware-related changes and validation activities to ensure seamless product continuity.
- Alternative Sourcing & Integration: Evaluate alternative solutions, architect redesign paths, and perform technical risk assessments to seamlessly integrate new components into existing platforms.
- Customer-Driven Customization: Review, evaluate, and implement design change requests (ECR) tailored to specific customer requirements and industrial applications.
- Cross-Functional Collaboration & Problem Solving: Coordinate with cross-functional teams, including R&D, Manufacturing, and Quality Assurance, to efficiently resolve complex hardware issues reported from the field or internal teams. You will be expected to drive root cause analysis and implement continuous improvements in both design and processes.
- Supply Chain Strategic Achievement: Ensure the long-term stability and reliability of the product portfolio. Your efforts will directly contribute to extending the product lifecycle and proactively mitigate supply chain risks to guarantee consistent product delivery.
- Evaluate second source and test plan for alternative assessment procedure.
- Risk management / Mitigation of Risks regarding component level in product.
