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.
