Entry Product Engineer

This is an Entry-level Product Engineering position within HP’s imaging and printing business. Our print technology includes the merging of complex design constraints, the use of material combinations, and extensive product testing/qualification to deliver high quality products that provide excellent end user performance.   This includes the combination and interaction of polymers, ceramics, metals, elastomers, multilayer films and electronics using mechanical, fluidic, electrical, adhesion, thermal, and chemical manufacturing processes.  A product engineer monitors these processes to ensure product requirements are met or exceeded. 

• →Understand customer (product) and manufacturing (process) requirements. Partner with R&D to define quality requirements.

• →Develop and characterize quality systems & test methods to minimize or eliminate risks and ensure the product meets the end-customer quality requirements. Using DOE characterization and subsequent results, refine specifications end-to-end (product to process) to ensure a shippable product.  This includes material, process, and other variations.

• →Partner with Southeast Asia high-volume counterparts to drive NPI transfer activities to high-volume manufacturing sites.

• →Manage the qualification of change of the released product. Triage proto and production parts to determine the cause of failure. Drive root cause evaluation and issue resolution as problems arise in proto and production.
• →Partner with other organizations to drive product investigations/issue escalations for released products.
