About the role

  • Drive component selection and qualification decisions by applying requirements, datasheets, and application/derating analysis; align choices to performance, reliability, cost, and availability targets.
  • Own preferred-part guidance and approval criteria; lead reviews for new parts, alternates, and deviations and provide clear disposition supported by data (supplier info, test results, field feedback).
  • Partner with Engineering, Purchasing, Quality, and Manufacturing to resolve component issues (quality, lead time, cost) and ensure selections support manufacturability and production ramp needs.
  • Engage suppliers and internal stakeholders to clarify specifications, evaluate alternates/form-fit-function equivalents, and communicate impacts of PCNs, shortages, and lifecycle changes.
  • Execute component engineering deliverables on schedule (new part setup/approval, AVL updates, alternates, PCN dispositions, and EOL actions) to support development milestones and uninterrupted production.
  • Maintain visibility to component risks (single-source, long lead, allocation, compliance, counterfeit) and drive mitigation plans (approved alternates, last-time buys, redesign recommendations) with documented rationale.
  • Define the right level of component evaluation/qualification (bench checks, environmental, reliability) based on application risk, coordinate execution and capture evidence for approvals.
  • Troubleshoot component-related failures and drive re-qualification when changes occur (PCN/ECO, supplier process changes); ensure outcomes are communicated and documented.
  • Improve reuse and supply continuity through part rationalization, preferred alternates, and standardization; reduce unique part count where practical.
  • Maintain accurate component records in PLM/ERP (approved manufacturers, attributes, alternates) and ensure BOM/AVL changes are processed through the appropriate change-control path (ECR/ECO).
  • Maintain compliance evidence (RoHS/REACH/conflict minerals) via supplier declarations and controlled documentation; ensure impacted parts/changes are reviewed and dispositioned for audit readiness.

Requirements

  • Bachelor of Science Electrical Engineering/Bachelor of Science Electrical Engineering Technology (or equivalent experience); advanced degree or relevant certifications are a plus.
  • 5+ years in component engineering supporting electronic products, including part selection/qualification, alternates management, PCN and EOL response, and maintaining AVL/BOM/part master data in PLM/ERP.
  • Component selection expertise across passives, semiconductors, and electromechanical parts, including application/derating analysis and form-fit-function alternate evaluation.
  • Working knowledge of supplier change control (PCN), lifecycle monitoring, and EOL/obsolescence mitigation (approved alternates, last-time buys, redesign recommendations).
  • Ability to plan/execute component evaluation and qualification activities (bench verification, environmental/reliability as needed) and document evidence to support approvals and changes.
  • Proficiency with PLM/ERP and part master data governance (AVL management, parametrics, compliance attributes) and strong documentation discipline.
  • Familiarity with component compliance (RoHS/REACH/conflict minerals) and quality/sourcing best practices (e.g., authorized sourcing and counterfeit risk awareness).
