- Evaluate component specifications, performance, compatibility, availability, and manufacturer information to support sound technical decisions
- Maintain thorough documentation of component evaluations, approved alternatives, sourcing information, and test results
- Collaborate with hardware engineering, manufacturing engineering, and supply chain partners to address shortages and obsolescence
- Develop strong knowledge of key component manufacturers, distributors, and market options
- Support documentation and component-control discipline needed to scale manufacturing and work with contract manufacturing partners
Qualifications
- Electrical/electronics engineering degree, or a relevant technical diploma with equivalent hands-on experience
- 5+ years of experience in electronics design, components engineering, component selection, or a closely related hardware engineering role
- Strong analog electronics experience and the ability to assess component suitability from both a technical and application perspective
- Experience working with electronic component manufacturers, distributors, vendors, and supply chains
- Experience identifying, evaluating, and qualifying alternate components or second sources
- Comfortable performing bench testing and using electronic lab equipment to validate component performance
- Strong technical documentation skills
Preferred Skills
- Experience with RF electronics
- Professional Engineer (P.Eng.) designation
- Experience working in hardware product development and/or electronics manufacturing environments
- Broad familiarity with electronic component manufacturers and suppliers across the market
What Success Looks Like
- Confident, constructive communication when challenging component choices or technical decisions

- Resilient, persistent follow-through that drives long-term improvements in sourcing and design practices
- Disciplined documentation habits paired with the ability to balance performance, cost, availability, and lifecycle considerations
