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, while also providing technical support to customers and internal teams.
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.
- Proficient in geometric dimensioning & tolerancing (GD&T).
- Proficient 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 manufacturing processes (machining, molding, stamping, plating, assembly, etc.) with experience driving Design for Manufacturing (DFM).
- 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.
Responsibilities
- Responsible for product development of socket, high-speed connector, and cable assembly solutions from market definition through production and release:
- 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 8 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.
- Advanced problem solver – able to handle moderate complexity situations and use data analytics and critical thinking to reach logical conclusions with limited direction.
