The Data and Devices Business Unit of TE Connectivity is looking to design and develop socket, high-speed connector, and cable assembly solutions for data communication in switches, servers, and storage.
Requirements
- Knowledge in socket design, connector design, cable assembly design, or other relevant mechanical design and development, including but not limited to material selection, tolerance analysis, DFMEA, product qualification, etc.
- Expert in 3D CAD applications (Creo preferred) with experience in 3D solid modeling, including sheet metal, 2-D drawings, PDM link Data Manager, and general knowledge in design applications such as Spaceclaim, Solidworks, or others used only in the concept stage.
- Expert in geometric dimensioning & tolerancing (GD&T).
- Expert at limit and fit analysis, including statistical tolerance analysis.
- Proficient user of finite element analysis software (Ansys, Workbench), including elastic and plastic behavior of metals.
- Proficient in developing and writing design objectives for product specifications.
- In-depth knowledge in manufacturing processes (machining, molding, stamping, plating, assembly, etc.) with experience driving Design for Manufacturing (DFM) and best practices.
Responsibilities
- Work closely with the customer and TE sales/SA/FAE/PM in getting the right and clear VOC (voice of customer) and convert to a TE design conceptualization and preliminary product specification.
- Conceive concepts and perform feasibility studies.
- Run mechanical and thermal simulations.
- Make the engineering evaluation/proposal to the customer.
- Create the detailed design, including 2D/3D drawings, and perform DFMEA/tolerance analysis.
- Build prototype samples and perform validation.
- Complete product qualification and finalize product specification.
Other
- Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering or equivalent work experience.
- Generally requires 10 years of relevant mechanical engineering work experience with electrical components, electrical devices, mechanical structure design, manufacturing tooling development (stamping, molding, assembly, plating), or manufacturing process development.
- Fluent in English (both verbal and written) to facilitate global communication both internally and with external customers.
- Ability to work in a global environment – able to accommodate varying time zones and capable of collaborating with individuals across geographies.
- Expert problem solver – able to handle high complexity situations and use data analytics and critical thinking to reach logical conclusions with limited direction.
