SAGE Millimeter

Description:

The Product Engineer I (ME-Based) is responsible for supporting the design, development, and sustaining of passive RF and millimeter wave products, including antennas and subassemblies. This role focuses on mechanical design, manufacturability, and product performance by collaborating closely with electrical engineering, manufacturing, and quality teams. The Product Engineer I takes ownership of assigned products, supports prototype builds and production transitions, and contributes to design improvements through testing, troubleshooting, and root cause analysis.

Responsibilities

• Exhibit abilities in design, testing, and troubleshooting the company’s passive components, including passive antennas and/or sub-assemblies with electrical engineering background engineers’ support.
• Design, review, and support 40% of the company product offerings in either discipline.
• Use test equipment and set up for new product testing.
• Perform design review (DR).
• Test, tune, troubleshoot, and document manufacturing procedures for first article (FA) prototypes.
• Release design documents, including design review packages, drawings, bill of materials (BOM), routers, working instructions, test reports, product datasheets, etc. to configuration management (CM) and the Document Control (DC) department for control and documentation.
• Provide sustaining engineering support to manufacturing and QA staff for FA prototype transition, manufacturing troubleshooting, work cell and process development, and after sale RMA tasks – Failure Analysis Report (FAR), Corrective Action Report (CAR), and Waiver Request Form, etc.
• Take ownership of products. When troubleshooting, drive for permanent elimination of root cause.
• Manage, prioritize, and execute multiple product development projects at one time. Effectively communicate progress with supervisor.
