HireSetu's note

Engineering judgment on a buying desk

Two lists in this posting describe one job from different sides. One is technical: component specs, lifecycles, schematics, gerbers, fabrication, IEC/UL/RoHS/REACH. The other is commercial: spend analysis, supplier consolidation, avoiding part proliferation, category strategy. Expect a week split between spreadsheets of what Eaton buys and the engineering question of whether the cheaper part actually drops in.

Anyone hoping to spend their days in Altium laying out boards will find layout here is a checking skill: reviewing gerbers and fabrication data, arguing DFM, DFT and DFA points with manufacturing and suppliers. You'll also be dealing with procurement leads and suppliers in other regions, so clear written English carries real weight.

Lead your CV with the tools

Name the tools you have actually opened. Silicon Expert stands out because it's a component database most fresh graduates have never touched, so learn what it holds before you claim it. Then CAM350, Altium, OrCAD or Mentor Graphics, and say which one you used to take a board through fabrication.

Compliance lines count: RoHS and REACH, and any IEC or UL standard you worked to in a college project or internship. A final-year project written up as "designed a board" is thin here. Write it as choosing parts against availability and cost, generating gerbers and checking fabrication drawings, and you sound like someone who has already done the tasks in this listing. Add any Excel work where you analysed data rather than just filling a table.
