• Ensures designs meet market requirement specifications (MRS). Coordinate with project marketing and management to understand sub system requirements.
• Contributes to the system engineering specification both within the field of one's expertise and broadening into other disciplines.
• Conducts detailed engineering analysis of sub systems using vast knowledge of design concepts and functional requirements pertaining to field of technical expertise and broadening into other disciplines.
• Assists in creating concepts for architectural design approaches. Evaluate architectures to provide recommendation for best system solution approach.
• Build and qualify prototypes of new designs or procure entire subsystems from outsourced suppliers and test for compliance with detailed specifications.
• Identifies problems and troubleshoots a variety of difficult engineering problems in field of technical expertise, including serviceability and manufacturability.
• Supports system integration during the assembly and final testing of new product designs. Performs and coordinates tests as per internal as well as industry-accepted reliability specifications. Make suitable design or operational changes as required.
• Supports system engineering projects that have a substantial mix of electrical, mechanical, and software design, and understand the underlying system implications.
• Technically leads and/or executes engineering projects, including development of key suppliers.
• Drive successful completion of tool safety standards (SEMI S2/S8/S14, NFPA 79, F47, CE, EMI/EMC) working with 3rd party evaluators.
• Prepare summary reports for internal and external audiences, present findings, data, and conclusions to technical experts.
• Provides remote and onsite support to field support personnel as required.
• Impacts the direction and resource allocation for program, project, or services; works within general functional policies and industry guidelines.
