TL;DR · Staff Electronic New Product Introduction (NPI) Engineer

The Staff Electronic New Product Introduction (NPI) Engineer joins the global hardware engineering team to support the delivery of complex electronic prototype and validation platforms for silicon roadmaps. This role involves planning and coordinating prototype PCB builds, ensuring that components, manufacturing data, tooling, and test requirements are available according to project schedules. Key responsibilities include driving build readiness, performing DFM/DFA reviews, and coordinating with manufacturing partners to resolve issues during prototype builds. The position requires expertise in PCB fabrication, SMT assembly, and manufacturing quality processes. Candidates should possess skills in BOM management, manufacturing test strategies, and root cause analysis. Familiarity with high-speed digital platforms, IPC standards, JTAG, Python, and LabVIEW is advantageous for managing these complex hardware systems and electronics manufacturing requirements.

What you'll do

  • Plan and coordinate prototype PCB builds with engineering, procurement, and manufacturing partners to meet project schedules.
  • Ensure build readiness by securing components, PCBs, manufacturing data, tooling, and test equipment.
  • Support DFM/DFA reviews to incorporate manufacturing and supplier feedback before design release.
  • Drive manufacturing, component, and test issues through root cause analysis to resolution during prototype builds.
  • Define manufacturing test strategies, test coverage, firmware, fixtures, and equipment with engineering and test teams.
  • Maintain NPI documentation including assembly instructions, build reports, board traceability, and engineering changes.
  • Support procurement activities including RFQs, material planning, and manufacturing cost analysis.
  • Travel to manufacturing locations to provide on-site support for board builds and test activities.

What we're looking for

  • Experience introducing complex electronic PCB assemblies through fabricators, contract manufacturers, and suppliers.
  • Strong understanding of PCB fabrication, SMT assembly, electronic components, and manufacturing quality processes.
  • Experience with prototype build planning, BOM/material management, and manufacturing execution.
  • Good understanding of DFM, DFA, DFT, and board-level manufacturing test.
  • Experience developing or deploying manufacturing test strategies, fixtures, test systems, or instrumentation.
  • Strong technical problem-solving, root cause analysis, planning, and organizational skills.
  • Experience with high-speed digital, compute, or server platforms (preferred).
  • Knowledge of IPC standards, JTAG, LabVIEW, Python, or structured problem-solving methods like 8D or FMEA (preferred).
