We’re seeking an Electrical Engineer to join our client’s growing Supply Chain Engineering team in the Life Sciences sector. This is an onsite role requiring daily collaboration with cross-functional teams including Manufacturing, Quality, and R&D. The engineer will investigate non-conforming materials and part failures, working with prototype analog/digital circuits, schematic capture, and PCB layout. Responsibilities include defining electrical subsystem requirements and ensuring compliance with evolving global safety and regulatory standards. In this role, the Electrical Engineer will work onsite daily, collaborating cross-functionally with teams such as Manufacturing, Quality, and R&D to investigate non-conforming materials and part failures. They’ll engage in hands-on work with prototype analog/digital circuits, schematic capture, and PCB layout, while defining subsystem requirements and ensuring compliance with evolving global safety and regulatory standards. The engineer will drive improvements in PCB yield and scrap reduction, troubleshoot high-failure components with suppliers, and manage component end-of-life replacements, including redesigns for manufacturability. They’ll lead and support technical projects using Six Sigma and FPx tools, contribute to supplier capacity planning, and participate in quality investigations and lifecycle design changes. The role also involves budget management, cross-functional coordination across global teams, and maintaining strong relationships with procurement, supplier quality, and operations partners to ensure continuity of supply and technical excellence.
