Electronic Component Engineer / Electronics Sourcing Engineer

1)      Report to the Sourcing Manager/ Sourcing Supervisor.

2)      Handle the technical part of electronic RFQ:

        a. Initial review to clarify customer requirements and specifications

        b. Cross checks parts to cost down or reduce lead-times

        c. Quote operations, consumables and tooling (cooperate with SMT)

        d. Do quickly DFX and propose solutions to improve the design and cost.

        e. Final review to close the RFQ.

Handle PCNs by either determining that they do not affect Form, Fit and Function or determining that they do.  If they do, inform Engineering and Project Managers at the appropriate East West location and propose a solution (likely okay to still use, or suggest removing that MPN from the Approved Vendor List (AVL) and possibly propose new MPNs).
