.Job DescriptionThis role is responsible for leading project teams and overseeing all phases of the product lifecycle, evaluating product designs and project operations, and risk mitigation. The role takes charge of troubleshooting efforts, driving design enhancements, and collaborating with various teams to achieve continuous improvements. The role applies advanced subject matter knowledge in contributing to cross-organizational projects, innovation, and the integration of new technologies and quality initiatives.Primary FunctionAs a Product Electrical & Firmware engineer within the Operations Engineering department, he / she:* Actively participates in the New Products Design phases working closely with R&D labs providing the required inputs from Operations perspective (manufacturability, serviceability, cost)* Drives the transition from early prototype stages to volume production at Worldwide Manufacturing Partners (MPa), working closely with other HP organizations in Asia responsible for production management.* Holds the engineering responsibility after production starts and improves the product and its related processes to optimize final product quality, cost and manufacturing efficiency.All these activities take place in an environment of worldwide manufacturing and distribution, working with external Manufacturing Partners, as well as internal partners ranging from R&D, Supply Chain, regional distribution centers, to Marketing.Key Responsibilitiesa) New product introduction - NPI (development and introduction phases)Understand and analyze new product electrical hardware subsystems (mainly PCA - Printed Circuit Boards) and components to:* Improve product reliability and quality, providing Design for manufacturing and serviceability feedback to R&D.* Ensure design is compatible with the chosen manufacturing processes.* Specify, design/outsource and qualify manufacturing equipment, tooling, tests and processes to guarantee industrialization. Provide support to production builds that happen during this phase at manufacturing site.Understand and qualify firmware package to:* Ensure it allows product's manufacturing and testingGuarantee that product launch can be done successfully in manufacturing by ensuring the readiness of manufacturing equipment, tooling, test and processes and by following up manufacturing metrics (Cp, Cpk, Stdev and others) to correct deviations in order to achieve the right level of manufacturing stability.Execute transfer of product design and manufacturing processes "know-how" to engineering Team(s) at manufacturing partners and HP team supporting production.Ensures de correct and on-time delivery of the electrical prototypes fabrication, test and assemble during different development stages (builds)
