Primary Function:
- Support new and existing business quote activities.
- Prepare and manage quotation packages for Account Managers (AM) and Program Managers (PM).
- Develop and deliver server hardware solutions from early-stage design through to production.
- Ensure the coordination of cross-functional teams, working toward the successful delivery of server products and project timelines.
Purpose of the Position: The Electrical & Project Engineer is responsible for collaborating with customers to define server/storage electrical specifications and designs, alongside Program Managers, Mechanical Engineers, and other functional teams. The engineer will work throughout the full product lifecycle — from development to production — to ensure that server products meet customer requirements and are delivered on time. The role requires strong teamwork, technical expertise, and project management skills.
Duties and Responsibilities:
- Technical Development & Engineering:
- Collaborate with cross-functional teams (Electrical Engineering, BIOS, BMC, Signal Integrity, etc.) to develop and deliver successful server products.
- Manage the design and specification of server hardware components, including signal integrity, transmission lines, and multi-phase VRMs for high-speed signals (USB/SATA/SAS/QPI, DDR4/DDR3).
- Work with CAD tools (Cadence OrCAD/HDL, Allegro) for schematic capture, PCB layout checks, BOM generation, and system-level debugging.
- Perform electrical design tasks, including developing server hardware that meets customer specifications and quality standards.
- Participate in troubleshooting and resolving customer-reported system issues, ensuring product reliability.
- Project & Business Management:
- Provide assessments and initial reviews of Request for Quotation (RFQ) packages and preliminary Bill of Materials (BOM) preparation.
- Generate and manage cost sheets, quotations, and cost analysis for manufacturing processes, ensuring the final cost estimate is accurate.
- Coordinate with internal teams and external vendors to ensure timely delivery of RFQ packages and project milestones.
- Facilitate communication between stakeholders (internal and external) to ensure on-time deliverables and resolution of technical and business challenges.
- Manage the overall New Product Introduction (NPI) process, including technical and business aspects.
- Ensure that the production layout and manufacturing cycle time align with project requirements to optimize efficiency.
- Project Execution & Coordination:
- Support and drive key project milestones from conceptual design to production, collaborating closely with Program Managers (PM) and other teams.
- Utilize strong problem-solving and troubleshooting skills to evaluate the long-term implications of engineering solutions, considering factors like thermal and electrical stress on component life.
- Lead the technical aspects of project documentation, preparing detailed specifications, drawings, and other deliverables.
- Monitor project timelines, ensuring that all deliverables meet the scheduled deadlines and budget constraints.
Education and Work Experience:
- Required Qualifications:
- Bachelor’s Degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related field.
- 2 years of experience in hardware design, server engineering, or project management.
- Proficiency in PCB CAD tools, particularly Cadence OrCAD/HDL and Allegro, with hands-on experience in fine-pitch soldering and prototype assembly.
- Strong understanding of server hardware architecture, including Intel server motherboards and x86 architecture.
- Knowledge of EMI mitigation methods, signal integrity, and design for manufacture.
Desirable Skills:
- Familiarity with high-speed signal protocols such as USB, SATA, QPI, and DDR.
- Experience in managing or participating in cross-functional projects, including customer interaction and internal team coordination.
- Strong grasp of electrical testing equipment, PCB manufacturing processes, and EMC (Electromagnetic Compatibility) standards.
Additional Qualifications:
- Strong verbal and written communication skills, with the ability to collaborate effectively across teams and present technical concepts to non-technical stakeholders.
- Ability to handle multiple tasks and competing priorities in a fast-paced environment.
- A willingness to travel (up to 15%) to meet with customers, vendors, or factories as required, including international travel.
- A background check may be required to prove engineering certification.
