Electrical Engineering Technical Leader

WHO WE ARE

In the Supply Chain Operations organization, the Product Operations team that engages in the development of computing & storage server, needs an expert and self-motivated engineer to lead electrical product engineering support of new and sustaining products.

WHAT YOU'LL DO

You'll be responsible for product cost and quality from New Product Introduction (NPI) to End of Life (EOL). To do this you will have to collaborate with multi-functional teams such as: design (hardware and mechanical), process, test, and reliability engineering to seek out problems and ensure cost avoidance and quality at First Customer Shipment (FCS). Participate and influence architectural design reviews and strategic component selection during product NPI stages. For sustaining products, you will be responsible for the initiatives on cost reduction and design related yield improvements.

WHO YOU'LL WORK WITH

You will be working very closely with Hardware Engineering, rest of Product Ops team, GSM, Manufacturing Ops and EMS partners.
