Product Engineer 6 - Supplier Engineering Technology

Collaboratively work with suppliers and enginnering groups on High-voltage Power Supplies and high-power analog power generation (RF and non-RF); this includes managing quality for existing designs (as interface between field teams, engineering teams, and suppliers); also work with Product Groups to design state-of-the-art new ones within our product roadmaps. Apply Product and Systems Engineering approaches to understand and resolve problems with equipment functionality, component quality and reliability, design and application margin, and in supplier quality systems Ability to work with the suppliers to understand how the designs will meet the specs and operate reliably in our environment: that implies ability to work with the design engineers and properly assess FMEA & influence their designs. Ability to specify and qualify automated assembly and test equipment, since testing is a key part of having successful products that work 100% of the time. Electro-mechanical assembly and component integration. How to apply FW/SW/Communications & Controls in complex device operations for fast switching. Lead/participate in teams to design and conduct experiments, tests, and prototypes to resolve complex technical problems. Present analysis and support technical recommendations clearly and concisely. Collaborate with cross-functional and cross-cultural teams to guide the specification and development of new products, with a specific focus on productization in high volume and design-for-manufacturability Provides technical support for installation and/or diagnosing, troubleshooting, repairing, and debugging complex product issues. Be a leader in problem-solving, defining the problem, identifying objectives, assessing risk, developing approach, analyzing results, and providing recommendations. Implement industry standard process control techniques to manage production efficiencies and quality. Expertise in Reliability Engineering, design-for-reliability (e.g., Reliability Block Model, Accelerated-Life Testing, Fault Insertion, Weibull analysis). Basic Supplier Engineering activities, in order to sustain product lifecycle (change control, obsolescence management, Factory transfers, Quality paretos from failure analyses and managing product CIP); all of these involve active collaboration with our product groups to get those changes approved. Bachelor's or preferably Master's degree in Electrical Engineering (with analog EE circuit design expertise) with 12+ years of experience; or a PhD with 4+ years' experience; or equivalent experience. Exceptional analytical and experimental design skills. Creative thinking, problem solving, and troubleshooting capabilities. Exceptional clear communication and presentation skills. Apply experience with industrial Quality Systems, Engineering Design & Documentation, Product Qualification, Change (EC) Processes and Problem Solving to issues occurring in product and component life cycles. Perform Program/Project and Supplier Management roles with emphasis on problem-solving analysis and improvements in manufacturing and test processes. Definition, review and improvement of Supplier'sRoot Cause & Corrective Action (RCCA), Supplier's Quality Systems and Processes of Record (POR) Comfortable traveling up to 25% of the time for supplier audits and at Lam manufacturing sites. Experience in DC power supplies and analog high-power RF, PCBA Manufacturing/Designs, and IC knowledge (hands-on expertise). Experience leading cross-functional teams.
