Design Lead - Harness, Electrical Cabling and Packaging, Creo Schematics
Essex, Massachusetts

Job Summary

We’re seeking an experienced Electrical Engineer to support design, engineering change control, and build activities for complex semiconductor capital equipment. The role demands hands-on ownership of cable harness design, schematic development, documentation, and cross-functional coordination through formal change processes (ECO/ECN/VPR/QN).

Key Responsibilities

  • Design & Documentation
    • Develop and update electrical schematics, wiring diagrams, and cable harness designs using Pro/ENGINEER (Pro‑E/Creo).
    • Create and maintain BOMs, part lists, and drawing packages; ensure drawing readability and GD&T awareness for electrical interfaces.
    • Review, interpret, and redline engineering drawings;
  • Change Control & Configuration Management
    • Initiate and process ECO (Engineering Change Orders), ECN (Engineering Change Notices), VPR (Vendor Part Requests/Reviews), and QN (Quality Notifications) within Agile PLM and Windchill.
  • Manufacturing & Onsite Support
    • Provide onsite build support for semiconductor equipment—troubleshoot wiring issues, connector pinouts, interlocks, and power distribution.
    • Collaborate with assembly teams to resolve design-for-manufacture (DFM) and design-for-service (DFS) concerns.
  • Quality & Problem Solving
    • Lead root cause analysis using structured problem-solving (8D, Fishbone, 5 Whys) and implement robust corrective/preventive actions.
    • Address QNs, drive closure with measurable effectiveness; improve harness reliability and EMI/EMC performance where applicable.

Skill Requirements

  • Electrical Design: Cable harnessing, wire routing, connector selection, grounding, shielding, safety interlocks.
  • Schematics & CAD: Pro‑E/Creo for schematics and harness drawings; familiarity with ECAD–MCAD collaboration.
  • PLM & PDM: Agile PLM and Windchill for change control, releases, and configuration management.
  • Change Processes: Hands-on with ECO, ECN, VPR, QN workflows.
  • Documentation: Strong drawing reading, redlining, revision control, and release practices.
  • Problem Solving: Proven track record of resolving build issues quickly and permanently;
  • Communication: Clear, concise communication with shopfloor teams and engineering stakeholders.

Nice-to-Have:

  • Experience with semiconductor  equipment (vacuum systems, gas boxes, RF/power distribution, motion control).
  • Exposure to EMC/EMI, safety standards (e.g., UL/CE), and industrial connectors
  • Knowledge of DFM/DFS, Lean manufacturing, and design validation processes.
  • Vendor interaction for harness manufacturing and first article inspection (FAI).

Other Requirements

Behavioral Competencies:

  • Ownership & accountability for deliverables and release quality.
  • Attention to detail with strong configuration discipline.
  • Onsite agility—hands-on, collaborative, and proactive.
  • Structured problem solving and continuous improvement mindset.
