Partner with Engineering during product development to ensure component selections meet performance, cost, quality, and supply continuity objectives.

Review new component introductions for technical suitability, approved sourcing, and long-term availability.

Support design reviews by identifying component-related risks and recommending mitigation strategies prior to design release.

Support Engineering Change Orders (ECOs) related to component additions, substitutions, and obsolescence.

Monitor component lifecycle status (Active, NRND, EOL) and proactively identify supply chain risks.

Develop and implement mitigation strategies, including alternate component qualification and second-source recommendations.

Evaluate supplier changes, Product Change Notifications (PCNs), and End-of-Life (EOL) notices for business and technical impact.

Support long-term component strategies to minimize supply disruptions and sustain product availability.

Ensure components comply with applicable regulatory and environmental requirements, including RoHS, REACH, and conflict minerals.

Maintain approved component specifications, manufacturer information, and sourcing data within PLM and ERP systems.

Support component standardization initiatives to reduce complexity and improve reuse.

Maintain component data integrity and support audit readiness.

Partner with Supply Chain to identify long lead-time components and develop sourcing strategies to improve supply continuity.

Engage suppliers to evaluate alternate manufacturers, cross-references, and equivalent components.

Support supplier qualification activities and technical evaluations of new component sources.

Identify opportunities for component cost reduction through standardization, alternate sourcing, and value engineering.

Serve as the primary technical interface between Engineering, Supply Chain, Quality, Manufacturing, and suppliers on component-related matters.

Support manufacturing and supplier teams in resolving component-related issues during DVT and production builds.

Participate in cross-functional risk assessments to improve component reliability, availability, and manufacturability.

Support continuous improvement initiatives related to component management and supply chain resilience.

Ensure component documentation, compliance records, and technical specifications are complete prior to product release.

Support traceability, configuration management, and engineering change activities throughout the product lifecycle.

Requirements

Working knowledge of environmental and regulatory compliance requirements, including RoHS, REACH, and Conflict Minerals.

Strong analytical and problem-solving skills with the ability to assess technical and supply chain risks and recommend practical solutions.

Excellent organizational, communication, and project coordination skills with the ability to manage multiple priorities in a fast-paced environment.

Self-motivated with the ability to work independently while effectively collaborating across cross-functional teams.

Bachelor’s degree in Electrical, Mechanical, Industrial Engineering, or related technical field.

5+ years of experience in component engineering, hardware engineering, or a related technical role.

Experience supporting new product development through design, verification, design transfer and manufacturing release.

Strong understanding of electronic, electromechanical, and mechanical components, including selection, qualification, and application.

Experience managing components’ lifecycle, including Active, NRND, End-of-Life (EOL), Product Change Notifications (PCNs), and obsolescence mitigation.

Experience evaluating supply chain risks and developing alternate sourcing and second-source strategies.

Experience reviewing component datasheets and performing fit, form, and function evaluations for alternate components.

Experience working with Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) and Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems (Propel and NetSuite preferred).

Experience supporting cross-functional teams including Engineering, Supply Chain, Manufacturing, Quality, and Supplier Quality.

Experience in a regulated industry, preferably medical devices, with knowledge of ISO 13485 and FDA 21 CFR Part 820/QMS requirements.
