Manager, Electrical Engineering, Design Assurance

Responsibilities:

• Build and lead the design assurance team, owning the hiring pipeline for the function: writing requisitions, sourcing and screening, running interview loops, making level decisions, and developing engineers once they are on board.
• Establish worst-case circuit analysis, component derating, and DFMEA as standard design practice, including methodology, templates, and the review criteria applied at every design gate.
• Own formal EV/DV verification for production electronics: test plans, procedures, reports, requirements traceability, and the gate criteria used at design review and release.
• Plan and personally execute engineering validation and design validation campaigns: functional, thermal, vibration, environmental, EMC/EMI pre-compliance, and power quality, alongside accelerated life testing.
• Design and build the test infrastructure these campaigns depend on, including hardware-in-the-loop stations, functional test fixtures, instrumented environmental setups, and automated data acquisition.
• Partner with NPI and Test through industrialization: land design-for-test coverage in the boards, transfer verification methods and limits into production test, and drive failures found in build, qualification, and the field back into design.
• You should have the following
• 10+ years in electrical hardware engineering, with hands-on ownership of verification, validation, or qualification of complex mixed-signal and embedded electronics.
• Experience leading a team of engineers or technicians, formally or as a technical lead, including direct involvement in hiring: sourcing, screening, interviewing, leveling, and closing candidates.
• A track record of taking electronics through formal qualification (EV/DV or equivalent military, aerospace, or automotive programs) to production release, including authoring the test plans, procedures, reports, and requirements traceability.
• Hands-on experience with worst-case circuit analysis and component derating, applied as part of a design process rather than as a one-time deliverable.
• Signal integrity and power integrity analysis, with a track record of feeding those findings back into the design: stackup and impedance decisions, termination, decoupling and PDN changes. Analysis that closed the loop on a design, not analysis delivered as a standalone report.
