Job Summary

A highly motivated and experienced Electrical & Electronics Engineer with 7-9 years of hands-on experience in electronic circuit design, schematic development, troubleshooting, root cause analysis, and component validation. The engineer will work at the customer location and collaborate with cross-functional teams to support product development, sustaining engineering, manufacturing, and production builds. The role requires strong analytical capability, practical problem-solving skills, and a commitment to product quality, reliability, and timely issue resolution.

Key Responsibilities

Circuit & Schematic Design

- Design, develop, review, and modify analog, digital, and mixed-signal electronic circuits.
- Create and maintain electrical schematics, wiring diagrams, design records, and engineering documentation.
- Support design changes and engineering change implementation while ensuring technical accuracy and traceability.
- Participate in design reviews and recommend improvements for performance, reliability, manufacturability, and serviceability.

Root Cause Analysis & Troubleshooting

- Perform structured root cause analysis and failure investigations for electrical and electronic systems.
- Troubleshoot complex circuit-level, PCB-level, subsystem-level, and system-level issues.
- Define and implement corrective and preventive actions, and drive technical issues through closure.

Analyze production defects, field failures, and customer-reported issues using data-driven problem-solving methods

Skill Requirements

Component Evaluation, Testing & Validation

- Evaluate alternate or replacement components for obsolescence, availability, reliability, and cost considerations.
- Conduct electrical, functional, and reliability testing of components, PCB assemblies, and electronic subsystems.




- Validate form, fit, function, interface compatibility, and compliance with applicable design specifications.
- Prepare test plans, document results, summarize technical findings, and provide qualification recommendations.

Production Build & Manufacturing Support

- Provide hands-on engineering support during prototype, pilot, production, and sustaining builds.
- Partner with manufacturing and operations teams to resolve build issues and maintain production continuity.
- Support production readiness through design reviews, test coverage assessment, and risk identification.
- Drive continuous improvements in manufacturability, yield, quality, and troubleshooting effectiveness.
