The Component Engineer possesses in-depth knowledge of electronic components and failures modes and serves as a bridge between project teams, component manufacturers, and supply chain to ensure a design meets the project design goals, is manufacturable, and is reliable. The Component Engineer is also responsible for qualification of electronic components for use in extreme, high-reliability environments.
The primary responsibilities of a Component Engineer include (but are not limited to):
- Identifying new technology components SOC/IC by keeping up to date on industry developments and trends
- Identifying technologies matching specific hardware requirements and environments (ex. uC synchronization in a downhole environment)
- Developing and executing component qualification plans for new or unqualified technologies for high reliability applications
- Interfacing with internal and external failure analysis (FA) labs to investigate root cause failure and providing recommendations to product groups based on the findings
- Managing communications between technology product teams, supply chain, and supporting technology groups (ex. Design for Test, Design for Manufacturing, process knowledge centers)
- Advising design engineers in the selection of electronic components based on the electrical performance requirements, proper component usage based on the application environment (i.e electrical de-rating), and overall reliability.
- Assisting with obsolescence reviews for existing designs
- Reviewing quality test reports of packaged components and/or dies
- Providing technical assistance to contracted tests labs and manufacturers
Employees/Contractors may be assigned other duties in addition to or in lieu of those described above, and any duties are subject to change at any time according to the needs of the company.
