• Design, implement, and validate engineering changes to address obsolescence, reliability issues, cost reduction, and performance improvements.
• Own design change activities including documentation, risk assessment, verification planning, and release execution.
• Investigate and resolve field and manufacturing issues through structured root cause analysis and hands-on debugging.
• Lead troubleshooting efforts on electrical subsystems, including PCB assemblies, cabling, power systems, and communication interfaces.
• Develop and execute test plans to validate fixes and design updates, ensuring robust and repeatable results.
• Perform detailed bench-level debugging using oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, multimeters, and other lab equipment.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams including other design disciplines, manufacturing, sourcing, quality, and service to ensure successful implementation of design changes.
• Support supplier interactions related to component changes, root cause investigations, and technical clarifications.
• Drive improvements in design processes, documentation quality, and test methodologies to increase efficiency and reduce rework.
• Contribute to system-level understanding by evaluating how subsystem changes impact overall system performance.
