Electrical New Product Engineering (ENPIE)
Core
Electrical New Product Introduction (NPI) engineer acting as a technical bridge between internal hardware engineering and external contract manufacturing partners to ensure high-volume production readiness of advanced SMT PCBs.
Role type
Senior IC Electrical NPI Engineer
Builds
High-performance, high-layer-count Printed Circuit Assemblies (PCAs) and PCBs for data center networking equipment
Domain
Hardware Engineering / PCB Manufacturing / Contract Manufacturing
Deliverable
production ML models | product features | dashboards & analysis | research | client delivery | infrastructure | physical/clinical work -> product features (PCB designs ready for mass production)
Required skills
Advanced SMT and high-layer-count PCB assembly expertise, Design for Manufacturability (DFM), failure analysis and root cause analysis, 8D methodology, PLM system management, BOM risk assessment, component qualification, cross-functional collaboration
Preferred skills
PCA Design/Layout experience, circuit debugging, second sourcing strategies
Technologies
Propel, Agile (PLM systems), IPC standards
Responsibilities
Drive PCA designs and resolve DFM issues for SMT and system integration, Optimize high-layer count PCB manufacturing and BGA assembly, Lead process validation, troubleshooting, and failure analysis, Manage NPI lifecycles from prototype to full production, Manage ECOs and version control via PLM systems, Drive continuous improvement in yield, cost, and quality, Coordinate cross-functionally with the supply chain for inventory efficiency
Seniority
Senior, hands-on IC
