What is a component engineering manager?

A Component Engineering Manager is responsible for overseeing the selection, qualification, and management of electronic and mechanical components used in product designs. They lead teams to ensure components meet quality, cost, and compliance requirements while coordinating with suppliers and cross-functional engineering teams. This role is critical in mitigating risks related to part obsolescence, ensuring parts availability, and supporting new product development. Typically, they also establish component standards and maintain a database of approved parts.
