Job Summary
We are seeking a Component Engineer (Contract) to proactively manage component lifecycle risk across multiple hardware platforms. This role focuses on EOL/NRND risk identification, alternate component qualification, and BOM health management using tools such as Z2Data, Arena PLM, and Altium. The engineer will work closely with hardware, firmware/software, manufacturing, and supply chain teams to ensure continuity of supply and minimize disruptive redesigns.
This is a hands-on, technical role, not an administrative BOM function.
Key Responsibilities
Component Lifecycle & Obsolescence Management
•
Proactively monitor EOL, NRND, PCN, and LTB notifications using Z2Data (and similar tools)
•
Identify components at risk before they impact production or new designs
•
Maintain and periodically scrub BOMs for lifecycle health and supply risk
•
Own component-related actions for sustaining engineering programs
Alternate Component Identification & Qualification
•
Research and propose form-fit-function compatible alternates
•
Perform technical suitability assessments (electrical, mechanical, thermal, compliance)
•
Coordinate with hardware and firmware teams to evaluate impact of alternates
•
Support qualification activities (documentation, testing requirements, supplier data)
BOM, PLM, and Change Management
•
Create and maintain approved alternates and sourcing strategies in Arena PLM
•
Author and manage ECRs/ECOs for:
•
Adding alternate components
•
Deprecating obsolete or high-risk parts
•
Updating compliance or sourcing data
•
Ensure BOMs align across Altium (design) and Arena (release/manufacturing)
Compliance & Documentation
•
Maintain component-level compliance data (RoHS, REACH, etc.)
•
Support product-level compliance needs by ensuring accurate component records
•
Review and release component-related documentation as part of ECOs
Cross-Functional & Supplier Collaboration
•
Work closely with:
•
Hardware engineering (schematics, PCB impact)
•
Firmware/software teams (pin/functionality changes)
•
Manufacturing and contract manufacturers (availability, substitutions)
•
Interface with distributors and manufacturers when validating alternates
Required Qualifications
•
Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Electronics Engineering, or equivalent experience
•
5+ years experience as a Component Engineer, Sustaining Engineer, or similar role
•
