JOB DESCRIPTION

The Global Component Engineering – Engineer/Senior Engineer, reporting directly to the Component Engineering Group Managers, will be responsible for searching out and integrating the latest generation component technologies into Marelli products. The Component Engineer/Senior Engineer will drive optimal part selection and use of components by adequate specifications, qualifications, and rigorous component lifecycles management within Marelli PLM to reduce cost, improve quality and mitigate supply-chain risks. Multi-sourcing components and alternative/replacements for shortages are also key responsibilities for this role.

Component types: Capacitors, Resistors, Inductors/Magnetics, Crystals, Oscillators; Diodes, Transistors, Logic IC’s, Power Management IC’s, Interface IC’s, Memories, Controllers, Sensors, IC Audio/Radio Frequency/Tuner, etc. for automotive applications (power, connectivity, sensing, power, processing, protection, interfaces, and all other aspects of electronic hardware designs that need passive/semiconductor devices).



MAIN RESPONSIBILITIES

- Develop component selection strategy for assigned commodities based on industry technology roadmaps and category sourcing strategies.

- Research and review automotive electronic parts specifications, standards, and studies for application to Marelli programs.

- Develop and setup new production parts for customer projects including part selection, drawing release, qualification and PPAP approval.

- Early involvement in design activities or issue resolution, act as linking pin between designers, manufacturers and procurement providing advice and guard the balance between performance, quality, cost, and timing requirements for components used in Marelli.

- Develop and maintain component specifications, qualification standards, test procedures, design standards, and component database (lifecycle) preference status according to technology/market trends and supply-chain dynamics.

- Evaluate and qualify supplier changes to mitigate risks and facilitate fast approval of complex changes. Analyze the Form–Fit–Functionality changes in the component in finding alternative components for discontinued/ obsolete components.

- Identify, analyze, and qualify interchangeable parts from different sources to mitigate Supply-Chain risks or for cost reduction. Monitor and mitigate obsolescence (DMSMS) issues within major development programs to prevent Last Time Buys.

- Provide component expertise support to global design centers and manufacturing sites on component application, design review, Failure Analysis, Problem Solving, shortage response, Material Variation Review, cost reduction initiatives, etc.

- Support category team initiatives on new supplier identification and development, conduct supplier technological assessment & audit.

- Support Design-for-Manufacturing and Design-to-Cost initiatives. Collaborating with Manufacturing Engineering to find optimum component Design-for-Manufacturing solutions.

REQUIREMENTS

EDUCATION (SCHOOL/SPECIALIZATION): Bachelor or Baster’s degree in Engineering (Electronics, Computer Science, Micro-Electrics, Mechanical, Materials, Physics, or relevant fields). PhD or MBA can represent an added value.

LANGUAGES: Fluent English & Chinese, further language(s) might be required

EXPERIENCES:

• At least 6 years of experience in a hardware engineering role – component engineering, product engineering, manufacturing engineering, or quality engineering.
