Hardware principle technical expert

Responsibilities

• Requirements Engineering & Traceability
• Lead definition, decomposition, and validation of hardware requirements from system and stakeholder inputs (functional, electrical, environmental, safety, regulatory).
• Own the requirements baseline in IBM DOORS (Next Gen) and/or Jama Connect: module structure, attributes, link rules, versioning, and workflow.
• Establish and enforce bi ‑ directional traceability from stakeholder system hardware design artifacts verification validation (V-model).
• Drive requirement quality (clear, unambiguous, testable, verifiable, atomic, bounded) using checklists and automated quality tools where available.
• Run change control (ECR/ECO) and impact analysis on requirements/design/test, managing baselines and variants across platforms/SKUs.
• Product Development Leadership
• Translate requirements into architectural choices and design constraints for PCBs, power, analog/mixed-signal, digital, high-speed interfaces, and environmental constraints.
• Collaborate with Electrical Design, Layout, and FW to ensure requirements are feasible, cost-optimized, and testable.
• Align requirements with DFx (DFT/DFM/DFR), EMI/EMC, safety (e.g., IEC/UL), thermal, and reliability objectives.
• Guide teams through FMEA, FTA, worst-case analysis (WCA), tolerance analysis, derating, and component selection aligned to lifecycle and obsolescence plans.
• Own verification planning for hardware (test strategy, methods, coverage), and ensure traceability to verification evidence (lab reports, simulations, compliance certificates).
• Process & Governance
• Conduct requirements reviews and gate readiness (SRR, PDR, CDR, QR, PR).
• Coach teams on DOORS/Jama usage, link rules, attributes, and best practices; act as tool admin for projects where needed.
• Drive continuous improvement in requirement quality, defect prevention, and re-use libraries.
• Stakeholder & Communication
• Serve as the single point of contact for hardware requirement clarifications with Systems Engineering, Product Management, and Customers.
• Prepare and present status, risk, and coverage dashboards (trace matrices, verification progress, open issues).
• Lead cross-functional problem-solving to resolve requirement conflicts, ambiguities, and compliance gaps.
• Must-Have Qualifications
• 12-18+ years overall hardware development experience, including 5+ years owning requirements in DOORS and/or Jama for complex products.
• Strong background in analog/mixed-signal or digital hardware (power supplies, microcontrollers, high-speed interfaces, sensors, communication buses).
• Demonstrated expertise in requirements decomposition, traceability, and verification planning (V-model).
• Hands-on with DOORS / DOORS NG and/or Jama Connect: schema design, baselining, change management, traceability reports, reviews.
• Experience with EMI/EMC, safety compliance, and environmental requirements translation into design constraints and verification.
• Excellent written and verbal communication; ability to write clear, testable requirements and lead technical reviews.
