Job title:
Electrical Engineer - STET
Your role:

Job Responsibilities:

1. Lifecycle Management (LCM) for electrical/electronic components used in G&B products – Sustaining Engineering

• Monitor and mitigate risks related to component obsolescence, compliance changes, and supply chain constraints.
• Evaluate alternate components, perform component level, PCBA level and Finished Goods level testing & verification and drive qualification and BOM release activities in collaboration with the design and manufacturing teams.
• Support in executing the relevant activities to achieve cost reduction, Quality & reliability improvement and compliance initiatives across product lines.
• Ensure smooth transition of design changes into manufacturing with minimal disruption.
• Maintain documentation and ensure adherence to Philips global standards and regulatory requirements.

2. Tester Development

• Hands‑on expertise with measurement instruments (oscilloscopes, multimeters, logic analyzers, spectrum analyzers)
• Proficiency in embedded firmware development and communication protocols (I²C, SPI, UART, CAN, USB)
• Programming and test automation skills (Python, LabVIEW, MATLAB, or similar)

3. Engineering & Root Cause Analysis

• Component-Level Analysis
  • Read and interpret datasheets for ICs, passives, motors, connectors, and power adapters
  • Assess form‑fit‑function (FFF) equivalence, technical limitations, and risks/opportunities
  • Evaluate impact of component changes on design, product performance, manufacturing, and ongoing production (including obsolescence risk)
• Circuit & PCB Evaluation
  • PCB layout and design, PCBA schematics, interpret PCB/PCBA layouts to identify design weaknesses.
  • Analyze Gerber files for routing quality, grounding, power distribution, and EMI/EMC considerations.
  • Provide feedback on design robustness, manufacturability, and reliability.
• Testing & Verification (Very important)
  • Ability to execute the component, PCBA, key-module and finished good level testing and verification
  • EMI/EMC testing on the bench and also in test facility
  • Knowledge of statistical tools for interpreting results and developing confidence

• Failure Investigation & Defect Analysis
  • Perform systematic defect analysis on returned products using diagnostic tools (oscilloscope, multimeter, spectrum analyzer, etc.).
  • Apply structured problem-solving methodologies (DoE, Ishikawa, 5 Whys, Fault Tree Analysis).
  • Correlate observed failures with design, component, or process issues.

Qualifications:

• Bachelor’s/Master’s degree in Electrical/Electronics Engineering with 8+ years of experience
• Strong understanding of electronic components, derating analysis, circuit theory, power electronics, and EMI/EMC concepts.
• Knowledge of PCB design/layout tools (Altium, Mentor Graphics), simulation testing (LTspice).
• Experience with EMI/EMC testing methods and Test Standards - IEC 61000 & CISPR standards (Household Devices) and IEC 60601-1-2 (medical)
• Hands-on experience with simulation and diagnostic tools for PCBAs (LTSpice)
• Knowledge of simulation testing of Motors, Li-Ion Batteries etc. is an advantage
• Familiarity with structured problem-solving methods (DoE, Fault Tree Analysis, 5 Whys, Ishikawa etc.)
• Proven project coordination skills with cross-functional teams and clear technical reporting ability.
• Passion for problem solving at the intersection of design and manufacturing.
• Ability to stay calm under tight deadlines
• Good communication (verbal and written) and inter-personal skills

How we work together
We believe that we are better together than apart. For our office-based teams, this means working in-person at least 3 days per week.
Onsite roles require full-time presence in the company’s facilities.
Field roles are most effectively done outside of the company’s main facilities, generally at the customers’ or suppliers’ locations.
Indicate if this role is an office/field/onsite role.
