• Hardware Designer can be specialized on a subset of responsibilities:
  • PCB Designer
  • Component Engineer

MAIN RESPONSABILITIES

Key accountabilities:

• Elaborate or contribute to the elaboration of Hardware (Hw) specification & architecture in collaboration with the HW architect
• Perform development of HW components:
  • Perform the detailed specification and design of the Hw components describing technical choices and verifying by analysis (computations models simulation or mockup) the compliance to input requirements.
  • Define the general plans for mechanical parts together with Mechanical Designers
  • Select the materials and electric/electronic/electromechanical parts. This activity can be in conjunction with a Component Technologist.
  • Design the electrical schematics and produce associated Bill of Material
  • Define the placement and routing constraints for electronic boards
  • Evaluate the thermal performances together with Thermal Engineers
  • Optionally defines the interfaces of the programmable components (FPGA FieldProgrammable Gate Array) CPLD Complex Programmable Logic Devices) together with FPGA Designers.
  • Performs or follow the realization of the PCB (Printed Circuit Board) design and definition file. This activity can be under responsibility of another HW designer specialized in PCB Design.
  • Ensure that the design can be manufactured tested and repaired together with industrialization teams
  • Follow the realization of the prototypes made by industrialization team and check them
  • Design and implement the firmware / SW necessary for HW component tests or specifies the softwares to be developed
  • Specify design prepare and perform HW components and work products verifications (including tests)
  • Put the Hardware work product under configuration management according to product Configuration Management Plan
• Support the Hw/ Hw and Hw/Sw integration together with the HW Architect and SW designer
• Support the Hw validation of the product including environmental qualification and type tests
• Sustain the Hw
  • Analyze incident coming from field return production contribute to their resolution and propose design improvement solutions

• • Analyze impact of obsolete component (product discontinuation) and propose replacement solutions. This activity can be in conjunction with a Component Technologist
  • Perform the modification of the design
  • Analyze impact of change update the documentation and perform non regression verification activities
• Remain informed of the evolution of technologies through techno watch
• Through his / her activities contribute to standardization by reusing existing solutions or by implementing reusable solutions
• Apply processes and standards
• Contribute to continuous improvement (RoE Return on Experience process
• Ensures reporting of its activities to the HW Architect

As a Component Engineer :

• Support introduction of new component by assessing the solution on the market considering all the criteria of component selection (quality perennity cost lead time multisource reliability design for manufacturing
• Support obsolescence management by searching and evaluating equivalence of alternative parts and contribute to the decision between storage and redesign
• Support preventive obsolescence management by periodically evaluating impact of future obsolescence. Evaluate perennity of a product
• Support manufacturing repair or field return root cause analysis when issue identified at component level
• Perform survey of component market in liaise with sourcing
• Optionally drives external supplier design for obsolescence solutions (interposers

Performance measurements:

• Actual vs planned number of development runs
• OnTime Delivery
• Number of nondetected issue detected after end of component verification
