techroles summary, based on the employer's posting.
What you'll do
- Own engineering from product introduction through ongoing support for PSU and Scuf, reviewing schematics and BOMs and fixing issues directly
- Investigate factory and field failures, separate process causes from design causes, and direct each issue to an owner
- Challenge suppliers on risk reviews, process settings, and test plans before approving manufacturing readiness
- Maintain component availability, compliance, and cost alignment, including second sources and product-change activity
- Remove production blockers and assess factory capacity, line qualification, and process scalability with manufacturing partners
What you bring
- A bachelor's degree in electrical, mechanical, or another engineering discipline
- At least three years in hardware product or NPI engineering, with hands-on power electronics, PCBA, or similar component work
- Experience managing suppliers from validation through production ramp
- You can read schematics and BOMs, discuss technical trade-offs with suppliers, and close corrective actions using a root-cause method
Who this fits
This mid-level role suits a hands-on hardware engineer who can coordinate engineering, planning, procurement, and quality while turning technical details into clear updates for leaders. Suppliers and manufacturing partners are mainly in Asia, so some flexibility for early or late calls is expected. The role is based at the Milpitas headquarters.
From the employer
Essential Skills and Experience
Technical Engineering Ownership:
• Own NPI and sustaining engineering for PSU and Scuf Controller product lines — schematic and BOM review, DFMEA/DFM/DFA input, and hands-on issue resolution, not just tracking status.
• Lead technical root-cause investigations on manufacturing and field issues; distinguish process-driven causes from upstream design causes and route each to the right owner.
• Review and validate PFMEA, process parameters, and test/qualification plans with suppliers; push back on weak engineering when you see it.
• Own component and material readiness; availability, compliance, cost alignment across the PSU and Scuf supplier base.
Manufacturing Readiness and Cross-Functional Ownership:
• Track and report NPI and sustaining readiness status on a regular cadence, including second-source qualification and PCN activity, not just build status.
• Identify what's blocking manufacturing and drive the issue to resolution with a clear owner and timeline, rather than escalating and waiting.
• Act as the primary interface between Engineering, Planning, Procurement, and Quality for PSU and Scuf; consolidating detailed inputs into clear, high-level status for leadership.
• Evaluate factory capacity, line qualification, and manufacturing process scalability with our contract manufacturing partners.
• Build and maintain direct working relationships with OEM and contract manufacturing partners; understand their real capabilities and constraints, not just what's on paper.
Collaboration:
• Partner closely with Quality on inspection criteria, audit findings, and issue closure; clear lanes, shared accountability for outcomes.
• Represent PSU and Scuf in cross-functional and executive-facing readiness reviews.
Qualifications
• Bachelor's degree in Electrical, Mechanical, or related Engineering field; advanced degree a plus.
• 3–5+ years in a hardware product/NPI engineering role, with direct, hands-on ownership of power electronics, PCBA, or similar component-level engineering.
• Demonstrated experience owning supplier relationships through DVT/PVT/OOBE and mass production ramp.
• Comfortable reading schematics and BOMs, and engaging suppliers on technical trade-offs directly.
• Experience with root-cause analysis methodology (8D, DOE, or equivalent) and driving corrective actions to closure.
• Strong written and verbal communication; able to translate technical detail into clear, exec-ready status.
• Experience with gaming, consumer electronics, or power-supply hardware is a strong plus.
• Comfortable working with suppliers and manufacturing partners primarily based in Asia; some flexibility for early or late calls.
