Essential Skills and Experience

Technical Engineering Ownership:

Own NPI and sustaining engineering for PSU and Scuf Controller product lines — schematic and BOM review, DFMEA/DFM/DFA input, and hands-on issue resolution, not just tracking status.
Lead technical root-cause investigations on manufacturing and field issues; distinguish process-driven causes from upstream design causes and route each to the right owner.
Review and validate PFMEA, process parameters, and test/qualification plans with suppliers; push back on weak engineering when you see it.
Own component and material readiness; availability, compliance, cost alignment across the PSU and Scuf supplier base.

Manufacturing Readiness and Cross-Functional Ownership:

Track and report NPI and sustaining readiness status on a regular cadence, including second-source qualification and PCN activity, not just build status.
Identify what's blocking manufacturing and drive the issue to resolution with a clear owner and timeline, rather than escalating and waiting.
Act as the primary interface between Engineering, Planning, Procurement, and Quality for PSU and Scuf; consolidating detailed inputs into clear, high-level status for leadership.
Evaluate factory capacity, line qualification, and manufacturing process scalability with our contract manufacturing partners.
Build and maintain direct working relationships with OEM and contract manufacturing partners; understand their real capabilities and constraints, not just what's on paper.

Collaboration:

Partner closely with Quality on inspection criteria, audit findings, and issue closure; clear lanes, shared accountability for outcomes.
Represent PSU and Scuf in cross-functional and executive-facing readiness reviews.

Qualifications

Bachelor's degree in Electrical, Mechanical, or related Engineering field; advanced degree a plus.
3–5+ years in a hardware product/NPI engineering role, with direct, hands-on ownership of power electronics, PCBA, or similar component-level engineering.
Demonstrated experience owning supplier relationships through DVT/PVT/OOBE and mass production ramp.
Comfortable reading schematics and BOMs, and engaging suppliers on technical trade-offs directly.
Experience with root-cause analysis methodology (8D, DOE, or equivalent) and driving corrective actions to closure.
Strong written and verbal communication; able to translate technical detail into clear, exec-ready status.
Experience with gaming, consumer electronics, or power-supply hardware is a strong plus.
Comfortable working with suppliers and manufacturing partners primarily based in Asia; some flexibility for early or late calls.

CORSAIR's Product Engineering team owns manufacturing readiness end-to-end for our hardware product lines, from NPI through mass production. We're hiring a Product Engineer to own Power Supplies (PSU) and Scuf Controllers: two technically demanding, supplier-driven product lines that need hands-on engineering depth, not just program coordination. This is an individual contributor role. You'll own the technical relationship with our PSU and Scuf component suppliers, drive root-cause investigations when something breaks, and be the person in the room who can read a schematic, question a DFM decision, and defend an engineering call, while also owning the readiness reporting and cross-functional coordination that keeps Planning, Quality, and Manufacturing aligned on where things stand.
