Job Details

Role Overview

This is a hands-on technical role focused on sustaining products and production. The successful candidate will:

• Manage electrical component lifecycle, obsolescence, and supplier changes

• Review schematics, PCB layouts, and assembly drawings for manufacturability and compliance

• Support daily production on the Penang production lines, including test fixture maintenance and troubleshooting

• Drive controlled documentation changes and qualifications in line with the Quality Management System

Key Responsibilities

• Component Engineering (approximately 50%)

• Manage electrical component lifecycle, including obsolescence monitoring, end-of-life (EOL) notices, and last-time-buy (LTB) analysis

• Identify, evaluate, and qualify alternate components (form, fit, function, and reliability)

• Review suppliers change notifications (SCN) and supplier process notifications (SPN); assess impact and drive implementation at global contract manufacturers

• Create and support engineering change orders (ECOs) with clear technical justification

• Participate in design reviews; review schematics, PCB layouts, assembly drawings, and DFM inputs (design experience preferred, but not required)

• Maintain accurate component and BOM documentation in Agile PLM

• Support BOM health reviews using Silicon Expert and supply continuity risk mitigation with Supply Chain.

• Manufacturing Support (approximately 50%)

• Provide day-to-day engineering support for the Penang production lines

• Maintain and troubleshoot Haemonetics-owned electrical test fixtures and production equipment, support Clinton, PA fixtures as needed

• Perform hands-on electrical debugging using oscilloscopes, function generators, and digital multimeters

• Update manufacturing instructions, drawings, and bills of materials through the change control process

• Plan and execute fixture and equipment qualifications (IQ/OQ/PQ), including protocols and reports

• Support root cause analysis, nonconformance investigations, and corrective and preventive actions (CAPA)

• Drive yield, quality, and process improvements; train technicians and operators as needed

• Note: This role focuses on sustaining and supporting production fixtures, not on designing new fixtures.

• Cross-Functional Collaboration

• Partner with R&D, Manufacturing, Quality, Supply Chain, and contract manufacturers

• Work effectively across global time zones, especially with Boston-based R&D, travel as needed (approximately 10–15%)

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in electrical / Electronic Engineering or related field

• 3–5 years of experience in electrical, component, or manufacturing engineering, preferably in medical devices or other high-reliability industries (e.g., automotive, aerospace)

• Working knowledge of component lifecycle management, obsolescence, EOL, and LTB processes

• Proficient in reading and reviewing schematics, PCB layouts, and assembly drawings

• Strong hands-on electrical troubleshooting skills using standard lab test equipment

• Experience with ECOs, supplier change notifications, and controlled documentation (Agile PLM preferred)

• Experience with equipment or fixture qualification (IQ/OQ/PQ)

• Experience working in regulated environments (ISO 13485; IEC 60601 awareness)

• Experience working with contract manufacturers or EMS providers

• Preferred

• Knowledge of PCBA manufacturing processes and IPC standards (e.g., IPC-A-610)

• Familiarity with environmental compliance (RoHS, REACH)

• Exposure to component lifecycle tools (e.g., Silicon Expert or similar)

• Knowledge of PFMEA and structured problem-solving methods (e.g., 8D, 5 Whys)

• Exposure to LabVIEW or automated test systems

• Skills & Competencies

• Strong electrical fundamentals and a hands-on, problem-solving mindset

• Structured and disciplined approach to documentation and quality systems

• Clear and effective communication in English (written and verbal), Bahasa Malaysia or Mandarin is an advantage

• Ability to balance planned component work with urgent production needs

• Ability to work independently and collaboratively in a global organization

• Why This Role Matters: Reliable components and stable production lines protect product quality and patient safety. This role is critical to strengthening engineering capability in Malaysia and keeping high-quality, compliant medical devices available to patients worldwide.
