As a NPI Electrical Engineer at Etched, you will own the electrical manufacturing side of our AI systems, ensuring seamless product introduction from NPI through high-volume ramp. You will collaborate with hardware, ASIC, mechanical, and reliability engineering to drive manufacturability, yield, and cost efficiency at scale. This role focuses on board-level bring-up, design-for-manufacturing (DFM), BOM risk management, and sustaining improvements to ensure our AI hardware meets the highest standards of quality and reliability.
Job Responsibility:
Lead new product introduction (NPI) and sustaining engineering activities at board and system level
Drive Design for Manufacturing (DFM) reviews to ensure robust, scalable, and cost-effective production
Partner with Component Engineering, Supply Chain, and Hardware teams to influence component selection and mitigate manufacturing risk early in the design cycle
Own BOM structuring and risk management, ensuring supply resilience and cost control
Perform board bring-up and debug, applying DOE/EFA and hands-on lab work
Review and influence Process FMEA and Design FMEA, providing diagnostics input
Work directly with Contract Manufacturers (CMs) and ODMs to close capability gaps, improve yield, and qualify new components
Develop, release, and maintain product documentation across the lifecycle
Provide leadership in complex issue resolution and drive defect/yield improvement initiatives
Use industry-standard debug tools (oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, TDR, etc.) to troubleshoot issues down to board and component level
Requirements:
Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering or a related field
8+ years of experience in manufacturing, product, or electrical engineering
Strong knowledge of system hardware architectures and PCB fabrication/assembly processes
Experience with DFX/DFM, yield assessment, and board-level debug
Hands-on experience with PCB CAD/CAE tools (e.g., Allegro, Valor) and understanding of design-to-build flows
Proven ability to work across NPI and sustaining environments, from proto bring-up to ramp
Strong problem-solving skills with focus on yield, manufacturability, and cost optimization
Collaborative mindset to work effectively with cross-functional teams and suppliers
