The Sr. NPI Systems Electrical Engineer will operate in a fast-paced, startup-like environment where machine designs are still maturing, as we transition new product designs from the development phase to pilot manufacturing. As the Sr. NPI Electrical Engineer you can handle ambiguity, diagnose issues hands-on across electrical, firmware, and system interactions, to enable successful product launches of complex machines.
Role and Responsibilities
Design and integration reviews with a focus on robustness and testability.
Analyze concepts and designs for feasibility in manufacturing and identifying potential problems early on.
Provide DFM, DFA, DFR, DFT and DFS recommendations during product design reviews.
Lead bring-up of electrical subsystems & PCAs within complex machines and robotic system
Debug system integration issues (electrical, software, and system behavior.
Drive methodical root cause analysis across electrical, firmware, and integration domains.
Lead and perform hands-on debugging (probing, rework, instrumentation, signal tracing).
Characterize electrical system performance (signal behavior, noise, power integrity).
Collaborate with contract manufacturers for upcoming new product introductions.
Support the engineering team with prototype builds.
Design and order tooling/fixtures for assembly process during prototype and NPI pilot phases.
Drive NPI projects by managing schedules, cross-functional collaboration, and design transfer deliverables.
s.Develop and execute process validations, including verifications, optimizations, and report
Review and implement Engineering Change Orders (ECOs) into Pilot Manufacturing.
Utilize PLM systems such as Arena PLM/QMS to support efficient Pilot Manufacturing workflows.
Identify opportunities for process optimization and implementing solutions for continuous improvements.
Interact with R&D, manufacturing, and supply chain, to ensure a successful product launch.
Qualifications:
B.S. Electrical, or related field, M.S. Electrical Engineering or related is a plus.
5+ years of experience in the capital equipment industry, preferably WFE industry.
Strong working knowledge of NFPA 79 and UL 508A.
Proficient with lab instrumentation (oscilloscopes, DMMs, logic analyzers) and PCB rework.
Strong hands-on experience in board bring-up, debugging, and electrical integration.
Solid foundation in analog, digital, and power systems, including low-level signal debugging.
Proficiency to diagnose and resolve complex, cross-functional hardware and embedded system issues.
Experienced with structured methods for root cause analysis and problem-solving.
Excellent leadership, problem-solving, and cross-functional collaboration skills.
Strong technical acumen, communication and presentation skills: capable of engaging in detailed technical discussions while simplifying complex topics for broader audiences.
Experience working with CAD/ERP/MRP/PLM/QMS systems.
Proven success in project management, cross-functional collaboration, and strategic initiative support.
Experience with AutoCAD, SolidWorks, NetSuite ERP/MRP and Arena PLM/QMS.
