NPI Engineer – Electronics

Description:

DRS RADA is a global pioneer of radar systems for active military protection, counter-drone applications, critical infrastructure protection, and border surveillance.

We are seeking an Electronics NPI Engineer to join our NPI (EMD) Engineering team.

In this role, you will bridge R&D and Manufacturing, taking an active role in early production builds and driving product readiness from development through successful transition to serial production.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead the electronics NPI activities of new Radars Systems from development through production readiness and ramp-up.
• Work closely with R&D teams to ensure manufacturability and testability, driving DFM and DFT considerations early in the development process.
• Support prototype, engineering, and pilot builds, identify technical and manufacturing gaps, and drive them to closure.
• Define and establish the manufacturing and integration processes required for new electronic products and assemblies.
• Investigate and resolve electronic, integration, test, and manufacturing issues during the NPI phase.
• Ensure readiness of relevant product documentation, manufacturing instructions, tools, fixtures, and test requirements prior to transfer to serial production.
• Drive continuous improvement based on lessons learned from builds, integration, testing, and early production.

Requirements

• B.Sc. in Electrical / Electronic Engineering.
• At least 5 years of experience in NPI engineering roles in a multidisciplinary product environment.
• Proven experience with electronic hardware and PCB/PCBA-based products, including integration and testing.
• Proven experience applying DFx methodologies throughout the product development and industrialization process.
• Experience supporting products from development through prototype builds, production readiness, ramp-up, and transfer to serial production.
• Good understanding of electronics manufacturing, assembly, integration, and testing processes.

Advantages

• Experience with RF or radar systems.
• Experience in the Defense industry.
