About the role

CACI is seeking an Electronics Component Engineer to manage bills of materials (BOMs) across multiple product lines, ensure component availability throughout product lifecycles and make key decisions on component authenticity and sourcing. The role suits someone with a strong electrical engineering background who also understands mechanical engineering principles. About 10% of the time involves travel to the continental US.

Key responsibilities

• Manage and maintain BOMs for several product lines, and help design teams choose reliable, cost-effective components
• Test and qualify new components against performance, environmental and electrical requirements
• Monitor component lifecycles, identify end-of-life parts early and recommend alternatives; advise on lifetime buy quantities
• Run counterfeit testing programs at independent test facilities and make authoritative authenticity determinations
• Maintain approved vendor and component lists in PLM systems, track lifetime buy inventory and work with procurement to reduce single-source risk
• Investigate component failures, verify RoHS, REACH, conflict minerals and export control compliance, and support supplier quality audits
• Partner with design, quality, procurement and manufacturing teams on new product introductions

Required profile

• Bachelor's degree in electrical engineering or a related technical field
• 2-8+ years in component engineering, hardware design, product development or lifecycle management
• Strong analytical skills, problem solving and clear communication with cross-functional teams

Required skills

• Knowledge of electronic components (semiconductors, passives, connectors, electromechanical parts)
• PLM systems, CAD tools and BOM management tools
• Component databases (IHS, SiliconExpert, Z2Data) and standards (IPC, MIL-STDs, JEDEC, RoHS, REACH)
• Counterfeit detection methods (AS6081, AS6171, SAE G-19A)
• Desired: aerospace, defense, medical or high-reliability experience; CCE or similar certification; Six Sigma or quality certification; experience with authorized distributors

What we offer

• Proposed pay range of $71,500 - $150,200, depending on location, experience and skills
