Summary

The Lead Engineer, Electrical Design develops new electrical systems/circuits for various applications.  Research system ideas and draw up plans for these systems, and capture them in schematics and system specifications. Test, simulate, validate and qualify their systems and make adjustments as needed. Provide support throughout the manufacturing of the electrical systems they have designed. 

The Lead Engineer, Electrical Design works in cross functional teams with other designers, customers, manufacturing engineering and project leadership to ensure robust and high quality product development.   Enhance designs with feedback from reviews in areas such as manufacturing, test, supply chain, reliability, industrial design and simulations.

Detailed Description

Performs tasks such as, but not limited to, the following:

• Design, develop and implement technical solutions in two or more technical areas. Lead smaller projects and may coordinate with other engineers including reviews of their work.

• Review and interpret customer documentation, conduct appropriate research, analysis and experiments with minimal direction from senior staff.

• Creates technical proposals (solution and timelines) based on requirements.

• Design, modify and implement systems that meet customer and Celestica needs. e.g. creation of Schematics, Bills of material, diagrams, drawings, etc.

• Testing, simulation and measuring (including troubleshooting) the performance of systems

• Keep up to date with relevant industry knowledge and regulations

• Solve complex problems

• Liaison with suppliers, customers, contractors, and other internal teams.

• Analyze and interpret data and information

• Recommend modifications for systems

• Create reports and documentation 

Enabling Competencies:

• • Project Management - Ability to manage a single line engineering project with a limited number of participants. Create a project/change management plan, establish and distribute project roles, and communicate what is needed from the project participants in order to make the project successful.

  • Leadership - Demonstrate "Individual Leadership Behaviors" as per Celestica Leadership Imperatives.

  • Financial Acumen / Business Planning -Solid understanding of Celestica’s budgeting and accounting system and the cost accounting practices relevant to engineering work. Always act with the awareness of your work's impact on financial results. Communicate clearly and timely all aspects of your work that may have an influence on the profitability of the project and/or what is necessary for proper accounting and controlling.

  • The following competencies may also be required and performed with help or under supervision: Coaching/Mentoring; Communication/Negotiation/Presentation; Creative Problem Solving; Customer Interaction/Stakeholder Management; Quality & Lean; Working Effectively with Others; D/PFMEA; 8D/Corrective Action; Equipment Safety; Design of Experiments (DOE).
