We believe that great people working with great tools in a supportive environment will deliver better products and services and do their best work for our customers. Our leaders understand the critical elements of breakthrough performance: bringing out the best in people; creating a climate of trust, openness and high performance; fostering candor and initiative; and treating people fairly and with dignity. Industrial Scientific provides the environment, leadership, and support that enable employees to exceed their career expectations.\nIndustrial Scientific’s product development team includes skilled engineers, designers and technicians in the disciplines of electrical, mechanical, and firmware engineering. Third-party design partners are used (both locally and abroad) to augment our in-house team or to provide specific expertise. For the most part, we build what we design - often in our modern manufacturing factory right here in Western Pennsylvania, with design work happening in Pittsburgh as well as Bangalore, India and Shanghai, China.\nWe design and develop a wide variety of world-class gas detection instruments, sensors, accessories, and infrastructure for worker connectivity and remote management. Our designs include the latest mixed-signal embedded computing technology, mechanical packaging, miniaturization, and compelling user interfaces. We partner with a dedicated in-house application software team to provide feature-rich web-based applications that help our customers keep their workers safe.\nThe Component Engineer is an experienced, independent contributor who owns the health of the electrical component base used across Industrial Scientific's product portfolio. This role leads the response to allocation, obsolescence, and supply (AOS) issues and end-of-life (EOL) notifications by identifying and qualifying alternate components and completing the work to update Approved Manufacturer Lists (AML). Just as importantly, this person understands our designs well enough to recognize when a 'simple AML add' is not simple, when a proposed substitute differs in form, fit, function, electrical performance, or agency-certification impact, and when a component change may drive a design change. In those cases, the Component Engineer brings the Electrical Engineers in early with a clear technical assessment and proposed path forward. The role also serves as the Altium CAD Librarian and Windchill part data owner, ensuring that engineers and designers have accurate, released, ready-to-use symbols, footprints, models, and part records to complete schematic and layout work.\nEssential Duties and Responsibilities:\nThis position sits at the intersection of electrical engineering, supply chain, and design infrastructure. The Component Engineer will work closely with Electrical Engineers, Designers, Supply Chain, Manufacturing Engineering, Quality, Compliance/Agency Certification, and external suppliers and design partners to keep products buildable, compliant, and ready for both new product development and sustaining engineering.\nThe duties may include, but are not limited to:\nComponent Engineering - AOS, EOL, and AML Management\nMonitor, triage, and drive resolution of allocation, obsolescence, and supply (AOS) issues and manufacturer end-of-life (EOL), last-time-buy, and product change notifications (PCNs) for electrical and electronic components.\nResearch, identify, and evaluate alternate and second-source components using manufacturer data, distributor databases, and lifecycle tools; complete the documentation and engineering change work required to update the AML.\nPerform technical comparisons of proposed alternates against the current approved part, including electrical parameters, tolerances, temperature ratings, package and land pattern, pinout, mechanical fit, and reliability data.\nReview the schematic and PCB context in which a component is used to determine whether a substitution is a drop-in AML addition or whether it carries design, performance, firmware, or layout impact.\nRecognize when a component change may affect agency approvals and hazardous-location certifications (UL, CSA, ATEX, IECEx, MSHA, etc.), intrinsic-safety parameters, or critical-component lists, and escalate appropriately.\nEngage Electrical Engineers when a component change may require a design change, presenting a clear technical assessment, risk summary, and recommended options to support an engineering decision.\nAuthor and process engineering change requests/orders for component and AML changes, and support verification or qualification activities as needed.\nPartner with Supply Chain and Manufacturing to assess inventory, last-time-buy quantities, and transition timing for affected components and assemblies.\nProactively assess component lifecycle and supply risk across active products and new designs, and recommend preferred parts to reduce future obsolescence exposure.\nMaintain compliance data for components, including RoHS, REACH, and conflict minerals information, in coordination with Compliance and Quality.\nAltium CAD Librarian\nOwn the Altium component libraries, creating, reviewing, releasing, and maintaining schematic symbols, PCB footprints, 3D models, simulation models, and component parameters.\nEnsure footprints follow IPC land-pattern standards and internal design rules, and are suitable for Industrial Scientific's PCB fabrication and assembly processes.\nAdminister and maintain the Altium environment, including managed libraries, templates, design rules, output job files, user settings, permissions, and configuration standards.\nProvide everything engineers and designers need to complete schematic capture and PCB layout work, including timely creation of new parts to support project schedules.\nProvide first-line Altium support to engineers and designers, troubleshooting library, project setup, and data consistency issues.\nDefine, document, and continuously improve library standards, naming conventions, review checklists, and release workflows.\nWindchill Part Data Management\nCreate and maintain electrical part records in Windchill, including manufacturer, manufacturer part number, AML/AVL associations, lifecycle status, compliance attributes, and supporting documentation.\nMaintain alignment between Altium, Windchill, ERP, and BOMs; support BOM validation, part number cleanup, and duplicate part reduction.\nFollow, enforce, and help mature corporate engineering change and part release processes.\nRequired Qualifications:\nBachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Electronics Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related technical discipline, or equivalent practical experience\n5+ years of experience in component engineering, electrical design, ECAD library management, or a closely related role supporting electronic hardware products\nSolid working knowledge of electronic components, including passives, discretes, ICs, power devices, connectors, batteries, sensors, and electromechanical parts\nAbility to read and interpret schematics, PCB layouts, datasheets, and component drawings well enough to judge the design impact of a component change\nHands-on experience creating schematic symbols and PCB footprints in Altium Designer\nExperience managing component obsolescence, EOL notifications, alternate part qualification, and AML/AVL updates\nExperience with PLM systems and engineering change processes; Windchill preferred\nDemonstrated analytical and problem-solving skills with strong attention to detail\nSelf-starter with the ability to work as part of a team while also meeting individual responsibilities\nPreferred Qualifications:\n5+ years of relevant experience\nExperience administering Altium 365, Concord Pro, or another managed ECAD library environment\nFamiliarity with IPC-7351 land-pattern standards and PCB fabrication and assembly processes (DFM/DFA)\nExperience with component lifecycle and sourcing tools such as SiliconExpert, IHS/Accuris, Octopart, or distributor portals\nKnowledge of agency approval and hazardous-location requirements (UL, CSA, ATEX, IECEx, MSHA) and how component changes affect certification\nFamiliarity with compliance requirements such as RoHS, REACH, and conflict minerals\nExperience with ERP systems (e.g., Oracle or SAP) and BOM management\nExperience in embedded electronic systems, battery-powered devices, or industrial safety products\nSoft Skills:\nAble to work effectively in a formal product development team environment\nAble to exercise independent, sound judgment, including knowing when an issue requires engineering involvement\nClear, concise technical communicator who can summarize component risks and options for engineers, supply chain, and management\nHighly organized and disciplined in following and improving established processes\nAble to manage multiple concurrent AOS/EOL issues and commit to and work under deadlines\nDemonstrated understanding of Stage-Gate development process\nCollaborate with suppliers, third-party, and offshore development teams when needed\nFortive Corporation Overview\nFortive's essential technology makes the world safer and more productive.
