### Role Overview
As an Electrical Engineer within the Addvolt PLM Team, you will play a key role in bridging Product Lifecycle Management (PLM), Engineering, R&D, and Production teams. You will support the implementation and management of electrical and firmware-related product changes, ensuring accuracy, manufacturability, and alignment across departments. This is a highly collaborative and technical role where you will contribute to product development, electrical harness design, PCB workflow management, firmware configuration control, and continuous process improvement.
### Responsibilities
- Collaborate with Electrical Schematics Drafters and Engineering teams to implement product changes.
- Review new product 3D models and associated 2D electrical harness drawings, ensuring accuracy and clarity for suppliers.
- Monitor design workflows and manage data release into the PLM system (Windchill).
- Generate 3D electrical harness models using CREO Pro-Cabling, ensuring compliance with Addvolt/Carrier standards and safety requirements.
- Create 2D electrical harness schematics using CREO Schematics or similar tools.
- Support production teams by identifying and resolving manufacturing challenges.
- Align multiple departments through structured process implementation and workflow optimization.
- Review new R&D designs and manage PCB revisions using ALTIUM.
- Manage PCB-related workflows, including Gerber files, varnish files, and BOMs.
- Develop and improve connections between ALTIUM, PLM (Windchill), and CREO systems.
- Manage firmware configurations, version control, compatibility matrices, and change logs.
- Define and improve workflows between ERP systems and digital production environments.
- Review product release validation criteria and testing procedures.
- Act as a technical bridge between engineering, development, and production teams.
### Requirements
- Master's degree in Electrical Engineering or a related field.
- 3-5+ years of experience in product management related to firmware, PCB, or wiring for manufacturing environments.
- Strong experience with electrical model creation using CREO Schematics or similar software.
- Ability to generate detailed 2D PCB and harness drawings using corporate standards.
- Experience managing PCB and product BOMs using ALTIUM or similar tools.
- Ability to review and understand firmware code, ideally with exposure to C/C++.
- Strong technical problem-solving skills and attention to detail.
### Preferred Qualifications
- Familiarity with PLM systems, preferably Windchill.
- Experience working in regulated industries.
- Knowledge of Agile and Scrum methodologies.
- Exposure to Design for Manufacturability (DFM) and Design for Testability (DFT).
- Experience working closely with international teams and cross-functional stakeholders.
