Job Summary Description / Primary Purpose Of Job
This position operates under minimal manager/senior engineering supervision, receives guidance on tasks, and works with cross-functional engineering teams, along with external customers and/or suppliers.
This position is responsible for concepting, prototyping, component selection, designing, verifying, and documenting printed circuit board assemblies (PCBAs) and other electronic packaging for use in Starkey’s products, including analog, digital, mixed signal, RF, magnetic, and electromagnetic domains. Working closely with Signal Integrity, Electroacoustic, and Acoustic engineers, this position is responsible for fulfilling product requirements, implementing design guidelines, enforcing design specifications, and creating design processes/procedures. Finally, this position is responsible for guiding design, research, and/or operation groups in problem-solving for product-related issues to ensure successful design transfer to production and sustained production.
Job Responsibilities/Results
Concept design, prototype evaluation, component selection
Create novel designs and integration of new platforms/chipsets
Create breadboards and fast-turn prototype evaluation of new concepts
Create decision analyses and document component selection
Support business initiatives throughout all design and release phases
Circuit design and verification
Create schematic capture and execute component placement
Execute layout and create fabrication documentation
Create fabrication and performance specifications, and verification plans
Troubleshoot issues throughout the design and release phases
Support documentation and knowledge sharing of novel findings
Product verification and design transfer
Decompose product-level requirements and verify at the subsystem and component level
Perform formal product life cycle management (PLM) releases of designs to production
Enforce of specifications and constraints for design and fabrication (internal/external)
Execute failure analysis of product design, testing, processes, and field issues
Continuous improvement
Create design and test processes, procedure documentation, and improvement updates
Enhance competence of available tools and stay abreast of industry trends
Support seeking and maturing PCBA miniaturization and modularization technologies for implementation into hearing aid products.
Job Requirements
Education
