Electrical Engineer - Supplier Quality

About the role

Applied Materials, a global leader in materials science and engineering solutions for semiconductors and advanced displays, is hiring an Electrical Engineer in Singapore. The role focuses on managing supplier quality for electrical systems and assemblies, with a strong emphasis on practical understanding of electronic circuits, power systems and interconnections. The engineer acts as a technical interface to validate supplier deliverables, troubleshoot issues and ensure robust system integration, without owning product design.

Key responsibilities

• Develop a strong understanding of electrical systems including PCBA, wiring harnesses, connectors and AC/DC power distribution.
• Review and interpret electrical schematics, wiring diagrams and system interconnections.
• Own supplier quality for electrical components (PCBA, cable harnesses, power supplies).
• Evaluate supplier technical capability in electrical assembly, testing and process control.
• Drive supplier audits covering process, technical and quality system assessments.
• Monitor supplier performance (QPPM, DMR, NC trends) and lead improvement actions.
• Lead investigations of electrical failures such as connectivity issues, power faults and intermittent failures.
• Verify supplier manufacturing processes for electrical assemblies (soldering, crimping, cable routing, insulation).
• Validate quality controls such as inspection methods, ESD handling and functional testing.
• Support engineering changes by validating their impact on electrical interfaces and system integration.
• Collaborate with global teams on supplier performance and issue resolution.

Required profile

• Degree in Electrical or Electronic Engineering.
• Strong product knowledge of semiconductor capital equipment products and processes.
• Hands-on understanding of wiring, electrical connections and power systems.
• Experience with schematics, harness drawings and system integration.
• Familiarity with supplier quality, manufacturing processes and audits.

Required skills

• Knowledge of IPC standards (e.g. soldering, PCBA)
• Knowledge of ESD and assembly best practices
• Reading and interpreting electrical schematics and wiring diagrams

The position is full-time, with travel of 25% of the time and relocation eligibility. It is open to regular assignees.
