TE Connectivity's R&D/Product Development Engineering Teams need to conceive original ideas for new products, introduce them into practice, and ensure their successful development, qualification, and release into the market. This involves solving technical challenges related to product design, simulation, testing, and manufacturing to meet customer needs and business objectives.
Requirements
- 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 of the manufacturing process (machining, molding, stamping, plating, assembly, etc.) with experience driving Design for Manufacturing (DFM) and best practices.
- Experienced in providing technical leadership for the full product development cycle, from establishing customer requirements to releasing qualified designs to production.
Responsibilities
- Responsible for product development of socket, high-speed connector, and cable assembly solutions from market definition through production and release:
- Work closely with the customer and TE sales/SA/FAE/PM in getting the right and clear VOC (voice of customer) and converting 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.
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.
