Work with design engineers, procurement and suppliers to determine connector requirements and drive NPU, CPU, PHY, Memory, SSD,ICs, electrical cables/connectors selection and second source identification. Understand supplier and/or design requested changes to components and drive these changes through the formal component release and control procedures.
Work with design engineers on the resolution of NPU, CPU, PHY, Memory, SSD,ICs, electrical cables/connectors related issues.
Analyze and evaluate components specifications to determine suitable alternate sources when required. This will occur for both development and sustaining products.
Work with the design team, cross functional team and suppliers to ensure that components selected meet the requirements for feature set, functionality, cost, reliability, regulatory compliance, and industry standards compliance.
Ensure NPU, CPU, PHY, Memory, SSD,ICs, electrical cables/connectors selected meet manufacturability, reliability and testability goals. Leverage/manage production tools to standardize and specify the NPU, CPU, PHY, Memory, SSD,ICs, electrical cables/connectors for BOM implementation.
