The Senior Engineer – Component Engineering will support electronics manufacturing programs by managing component selection, qualification, lifecycle management, BOM analysis, and RFQ support. This role requires deep expertise in electronic and mechanical components, PCBA processes, manufacturability, and cross-functional collaboration with Bid, Sourcing, Sales, and Engineering teams. The engineer will work with customers across Aerospace, Defense, Medical, Automotive, Industrial, and Telecom segments to ensure reliable, cost-optimized, and compliant component strategies.

Requirements

Component Engineering & Qualification

Select, evaluate, and qualify electronic, mechanical, passive, active, and electromechanical components.
Analyze datasheets, specifications, and application requirements to ensure suitability, reliability, and manufacturability.
Ensure component compliance with industry standards including UL, RoHS, and REACH.
Conduct component-level risk assessments and support product design teams with appropriate component recommendations.

Component Lifecycle & Obsolescence Management

Monitor component lifecycle status, PCNs, EOL notices, supply risks, and availability issues.
Suggest and validate alternate components for obsolescence and cost optimization.
Maintain component master data and ensure timely updates to AVL/ACL.

BOM Analysis & Engineering Change Management

Perform in-depth BOM scrubbing, validation, and optimization for RFQs received from customers.
Ensure BOM completeness, accuracy, and alignment with customer requirements.
Support Engineering Change Requests (ECR) and Engineering Change Orders (ECO) activities.

RFQ & Cost Support

Work closely with Bid, Sourcing, and Sales teams on component feasibility and cost benchmarking.
Utilize RFQ and component intelligence tools such as IHS, Silicon Expert, Octopart, etc.
Identify cost-effective alternates without compromising reliability, compliance, or performance.

Cross-Functional & Customer Interaction

Collaborate with engineering, procurement, manufacturing, and quality teams to resolve component issues.
Support customer-specific requirements across Aerospace, Defense, Medical, Automotive, Industrial, and Telecom sectors.
Provide technical input during customer discussions, audits, and design review

Requirements

Technical Requirements

Strong understanding of electronic and mechanical components (active, passive, electro mechanical).
Experience in electronics manufacturing, PCBA processes, and supplier/ component approval workflows.
Hands-on experience with component RFQ and database tools: IHS, Silicon Expert, Octopart (preferred).
Strong capability in Excel, Macros, and MS Office tools.
Familiarity with international compliance standards such as UL, RoHS, REACH.

Benefits

Since the number of projects are increasing, Component Engineer is required to do the Bill of Material for Quote (BMQ).
