This role focuses on applying
DFX principles (DFM, DFT, DFR, DFC, etc.) to electrical designs, ensuring products are
manufacturable, testable, reliable, cost-effective, and compliant while meeting development schedules.
The engineer will work closely with
design, manufacturing, quality, testing, and system engineering teams, contributing to electrical circuit design, cable harness optimization, testing, reliability analysis, and cost-reduction initiatives. The role plays a key part in bridging
design and manufacturing during NPD/NPI phases.
Responsibilities
- Perform DFX assessments on electrical designs for manufacturability, testability, reliability, and cost
- Analyze and optimize electrical circuits and cable/harness designs for BESS applications
- Support manufacturing test strategy, electrical testing, and validation activities
- Conduct reliability analysis (thermal, electrical, mechanical) and define mitigations
- Ensure high-voltage safety compliance and adherence to industry standards
- Lead cost-reduction and design optimization initiatives
- Participate in design reviews, DFMEA/PFMEA, root cause analysis, and risk assessments
- Collaborate cross-functionally to ensure smooth NPI transition and production readiness
Qualifications
- Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering
- 57 years of experience in electrical design for NPD/NPI programs
- Experience working in manufacturing-linked engineering roles
- Knowledge of quality systems and regulatory requirements
- Ability to manage multiple projects in a fast-paced environment
Essential Skills
- Strong hands-on experience with electrical circuit design in NPD/NPI environments
- Practical application of DFX principles (DFM, DFA, DFT, DFR, DFC)
- Experience with BESS, power electronics, or high-voltage systems
- Ability to read and interpret schematics, wiring diagrams, BOMs, and test procedures
- Experience with DFMEA, PFMEA, 8D, 5-Why, root cause analysis
- Familiarity with industry standards (IPC, IEEE, UL, JEDEC, etc.)
- Proficiency in CAD/ECAD tools, 3D routing tools, PLM systems
- Strong cross-functional communication and problem-solving skills
Experience
3 to 7 years
