Product Engineer

Role Purpose

The Product Integrity Engineer — E&E is the analytical conscience of product quality within the Integrity Team. This role exists to build quality into every Newen power electronics product — not inspect it in — by connecting Field insights, Floor data and R&D decisions through intelligence-driven action. The incumbent will serve as the quality bridge between product development and manufacturing, driving Built-in Quality as a culture across Inverters, Chargers, and BMS platforms.

Key Responsibilities

01 | Analytics Engine — Prime Accountability

• Drive failure trend analysis across DVT/EVT/PVT test data and field returns for E&E products

• Mine reliability data from field returns, warranty claims, and customer feedback to generate actionable

design insights

• Build and maintain quality intelligence dashboards — presenting failure modes, escape rates, and reliability

trends to leadership

• Interpret DVT/EVT/PVT test results and translate technical data into design risk assessments and

improvement recommendations

• Perform DFMEA and PFMEA reviews using data-driven analysis rather than assumption-based

assessments

• Generate periodic quality reports with trend analysis to support world-class quality goals

02 | Built-in Quality — R&D & Product Development Interface

• Participate in design gate reviews (DVT, EVT, PVT) with a quality lens — moderate engagement, not full

embedding

• Assess drawings and perform gap analysis against applicable quality and compliance requirements

• Verify and sign off on design release documents for E&E products (Inverters, Chargers, BMS)

• Drive APQP process compliance for new product introductions in the power electronics domain

• Coordinate PPAP submissions and ensure design intent is faithfully translated into production processes

• Validate alternate components — component qualification and reliability assessment

• Challenge R&D decisions with data — influence without authority when field or floor evidence points to

design risk

03 | Floor & Field Feedback Loop — Closed-Loop Execution

• Translate floor non-conformances and field failure data into structured design improvement actions

• Facilitate and close Material Review Board (MRB) meetings for E&E related NCRs

• Partner with manufacturing quality teams (DRISHTI) to ensure floor learnings are fed back into design

• Lead root cause analysis (8D, Fishbone, 5-Why) for recurring E&E failures, ensuring permanent corrective

actions

• Track and verify effectiveness of corrective actions through data — not just closure acknowledgement

04 | Compliance Awareness & Standards Interface

• Maintain working knowledge of applicable E&E standards — IEC, IS, BIS, CE, UL — as relevant to power

electronics products

• Coordinate with external certification labs and internal teams for compliance testing activities

• Interpret test reports and identify compliance gaps requiring design or process corrections

• Support compliance management activities — not independently owning submissions, but ensuring quality

inputs are complete and accurate

05 | Organisational Quality Contribution

• Support to develop and maintain SOPs and Work Methods for Design Quality processes within the Integrity

Team

• Support SQA team audit activities with data and documentation for E&E related scope

• Participate in supplier quality audits with focus on E&E component and PCBA suppliers

• Contribute to manufacturing quality improvement initiatives by providing design quality perspective

• Build a challenger mindset — constructively question, validate through data, and advocate for quality with

confidence

Skills & Competencies

Technical — Prime

• Data analytics for quality: failure trend analysis, reliability data mining, test data interpretation

• Quality intelligence reporting: dashboards, KPI tracking, executive-level quality briefs

• APQP / PPAP — end-to-end process knowledge for E&E product introductions

• DFMEA & PFMEA — data-driven review and development experience

• Power electronics product knowledge: Inverters, Battery Chargers, BMS — design & test understanding

• Electrical drawing review, BOM analysis, and design gap assessment

• Root cause analysis tools: 8D, 5-Why, Fishbone, Is/Is-Not

Standards & Compliance — Working Knowledge

• IEC standards relevant to power electronics and energy storage systems

• IS / BIS certification requirements for Indian market products

• CE / UL — awareness of scope, test requirements and certification process

• ISO 9001 Quality Management System principles

Behavioural — non-negotiable

• Challenger mindset — ability to influence R&D and cross-functional teams through data and conviction

• Intrapreneurial drive — ownership of quality outcomes beyond assigned task boundaries

• Analytical rigour — structured thinking, evidence-based conclusions

• Communication — ability to translate technical quality data into business-relevant insights

• Cross-functional collaboration — effective working with R&D, Manufacturing, Supplier Quality, and CX

teams

Tools & Software

• MS Excel (Advanced) — data analysis, pivot tables, trend charts

• Power BI / Tableau or equivalent — quality dashboard development preferred

• MS Office Suite — Word, PowerPoint for documentation and reporting

• ERP / QMS platforms or equivalent exposure

• AutoCAD / E-CAD — for drawing review purposes

Qualifications & Experience

• B.E. / B.Tech in Electrical Engineering, Electronics & Communication, or Power Electronics

• 8 to 12 years of experience in E&E Design Quality, Product Quality, or Reliability Engineering roles

• Demonstrated experience in power electronics products — Inverters, Chargers, BMS or similar energy

products strongly preferred

• Hands-on exposure to DVT/EVT/PVT quality activities in a product development environment

• Prior experience with APQP/PPAP processes in an E&E manufacturing organisation

• • Supplier quality or audit exposure in E&E / PCBA domain is an advantage
