What You Will Be Doing

As the Component Engineer you will act as the technical authority for EEEE parts, driving their qualification, documentation, and supplier oversight while partnering with cross‑functional groups to guarantee reliable, flight‑qualified hardware. Your responsibilities will include:

• Selecting, evaluating, qualifying, testing, and performing failure analysis on electrical, electronic, electromechanical, and electro‑optical components.
• Monitor reused component designs for obsolescence risk (DMSMS) and identify alternate part options.
• Support component data submission and symbol generation for new parts.
• Preparing and maintaining Component Source Control Drawings (SCDs).
• Evaluating vendors, reviewing component test reports, and recommending qualified sources.
• Generating, reviewing, and approving Non‑Standard Part Approval Requests (NSPARs) during Parts, Materials, and Process Control Board (PMPCB) meetings.
• Reviewing and approving engineering drawings and SCDs for subcontractor‑supplied components.
• Leading or supporting PMP issue‑resolution activities and driving corrective actions to closure.
• Assisting and leading failure‑analysis efforts within the EEEE domain.
• Maintaining configuration control and traceability of all component data throughout the product lifecycle.
• Providing technical guidance to suppliers and internal teams to ensure seamless integration of approved components
• Review procured development items to verify parts meet program specifications and required life.
• Document parts requiring special processes and support release per standard engineering processes.
• Coordinate with circuit card designers on part footprint, package, and derating requirements during design.
• Track and report on long-lead and high-risk components across the circuit card family.
• Provide monthly components status reporting, including lead-time and last-time-buy risk identification.
