New Product Introduction (NPI) Engineer Microcircuit Modules

Position Summary

We are seeking an experienced New Product Introduction (NPI) Engineer to support the transfer of new electronic products from concept and prototype through qualification production release and manufacturing ramp-up.

Combining electronic engineering knowledge with a strong manufacturing background you will work across design manufacturing process test quality and supply-chain teams to ensure products are robust manufacturable testable and ready for repeatable production.

You will support products through the engineering design review gates lead the manufacturing design reviews and take ownership of production-readiness activities.

Key Responsibilities

• Support NPI activities from concept and prototype through qualification production release and manufacturing ramp-up.
• Represent manufacturing throughout product development ensuring manufacturability assembly test reliability and production requirements are considered from an early stage.
• Support electronic engineering activities including requirements capture design reviews component selection verification and validation.
• Support product design review gates and lead manufacturing design reviews and production-readiness reviews.
• Contribute to the development of manufacturing approaches including process flow assembly methods tooling equipment inspection and production-test requirements.
• Plan and support prototype pilot and pre-production builds resolving design and manufacturing issues through structured root cause analysis.
• Support the preparation and release of manufacturing documentation including bills of material drawings work instructions process specifications and test requirements.
• Work with suppliers and internal teams to ensure components materials processes equipment and resources are ready for production.
• Support the implementation of design changes and maintain configuration control of product and process documentation.
• Support the handover into production and assist early manufacturing activities until the required quality yield and process stability have been achieved.

Required Qualifications & Experience

• Bachelors or Masters degree in Electronic Engineering Electrical Engineering Manufacturing Engineering or a related discipline.
• Significant experience in electronic product development NPI manufacturing engineering or product engineering within high-reliability regulated safety-critical harsh-environment or high-performance applications.
• Demonstrable experience transferring electronic products from concept or prototype through qualification production release and manufacturing ramp-up.
• Strong practical background in electronic manufacturing including process development assembly inspection production test and manufacturing documentation.
• Good electronic engineering knowledge with experience reviewing or developing schematics layouts component selections and bills of material.
• Good understanding of design for manufacturability design for assembly design for test and design for reliability together with process validation root cause analysis engineering change control and configuration management.
• Experience participating in cross-functional design and manufacturing reviews with strong planning communication problem-solving and hands-on production support skills.

Desirable Experience

• Experience with hybrid microelectronics micro circuit modules advanced electronic packaging chip-and-wire chip-and-bond wire die attach or wire bonding.
• Experience with RF microwave high-frequency precision analogue or harsh-environment electronics.
• Experience developing or manufacturing electronics for oil and gas aerospace defense space automotive medical or other high-reliability sectors.
• Experience with product qualification environmental or reliability testing process qualification or manufacturing-readiness assessment.
• Knowledge of relevant IPC aerospace defense or high-reliability electronics standards.
• Familiarity with process FMEA control plans APQP PPAP Lean Six Sigma or similar NPI and continuous-improvement approaches.
• Experience working with external suppliers subcontract manufacturers or specialist process providers.

Other Requirements

• You must be eligible for full security clearance.
• Occasional travel may be required for supplier customer or project engagement.
