Product Engineer (Local based candidate)

The Product Engineer is an experienced electronics engineer with strong product understanding and hands-on manufacturing experience in an Electronics Manufacturing Services (EMS) environment. The role is responsible for reviewing customer technical data, identifying DFM/DFT and manufacturing risks, leading technical readiness for NPI (EVT, DVT, PVT, MP), resolving product issues, and maintaining technical ownership throughout the product lifecycle.
Responsibilities
Review and analyze customer technical documents (BOM, AML/AVL, schematic, PCB/Gerber, mechanical drawing, specifications, and assembly requirements) to ensure completeness and manufacturability.
Identify DFM/DFA/DFT and manufacturing risks before mass production; propose corrective actions and design/process improvements.
Lead technical readiness activities for NPI programs (EVT, DVT, PVT) through MP release; define required technical activities, deliverables, and readiness requirements.
Support engineering/pilot builds and production ramp-up; troubleshoot and resolve technical issues arising during trial and mass production.
Review and evaluate Engineering Changes (ECO/ECN/MCO/DCO); assess impact on material, process, tooling, testing, and quality, and coordinate implementation.
Develop and review test coverage, test specifications, and test fixtures; lead failure analysis and root cause investigation for product-related issues.
Lead technical discussions and coordinate cross-functionally with IE, Test, QA, SCM, and Production to resolve product and process issues.
Act as the technical focal point with customers on product-related technical matters (BOM, ECN, DFM/DFT, test requirements), including direct on-site discussions when customers visit the factory; commercial matters such as pricing and lead time are handled by the Project Manager.
Proactively clarify missing or unclear technical information or requirements with customers and internal teams.
Maintain technical ownership of assigned products throughout the product lifecycle, from NPI through MP and sustaining production.
Document and maintain technical records, risk assessments, and change logs related to product and process.
Ensure compliance with engineering standards, safety regulations, and quality requirements.
Qualifications
Bachelor's degree in Electrical - Electronics Engineering, Electronics - Telecommunications, Mechatronics, Automation, or a related technical field.
• Experience: 3-5+ years of experience in electronics manufacturing/EMS, with hands-on experience in Product Engineering/NPI across NPI and MP stages.
English communication: Good English communication skills (reading, writing, and speaking) to review technical documents and directly discuss with customers, including on-site discussions.
