SR R&D/PRODUCT DVL ENGINEER

At TE, you will unleash your potential working with people from diverse backgrounds and industries to create a safer, sustainable and more connected world.

Job Overview

TE Connectivity’s R&D/Product Development Engineering Teams conceive original ideas for new products, introduce them into practice. They are responsible for product development, and qualification from market definition through production and release; assist in the qualification of suppliers for new products to ensure suppliers deliver quality parts, materials, and services for new or improved manufacturing processes; conduct feasibility studies, testing on new and modified designs; direct and support detailed design, testing, prototype fabrication and manufacturing ramp. The R&D/Product Development Engineering Teams provide all required product documentation including, but not limited to, Solid Model, 2D/3D production drawings, product specifications, and testing requirements. They create and modify detailed drawings and drafting or conceptual models from layouts, rough sketches or notes and contribute to design modifications to facilitate manufacturing operation or quality of product. Typical fields of expertise include: materials, mechanics and systems, electrical, optics, chemistry, software, automation systems, packaging, testing and measurement, and manufacturing of electrical, mechanical and electronic components, products, and their integration into systems.

What your background should look like:

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 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.

Provide technical support to the Operations team including Quality and Production for efficiency improvement and safe launch.

Resolve product related issues to closure and manage the ECN/PCN (Engineering Change Notification/ Product Change Notification).

Build a deep understanding of the market and customer needs by fostering a connection between the business engineering teams and the customer engineering teams

Maintain a system level understanding of the customer application and the product design/concept necessary for providing a solution to the customers’ expectation.

Follow the LEANPD Project Process to support the project team from the product development engineering (PDE) perspective to complete the new product development project on time, quality and budget. Drive the development and release of product, scale-up through stage-gate reviews, ensuring milestone commitments are maintained.

Provide technical support to customer, sales, PM and plant teams. Conduct necessary DFMEA, tests, engineering analysis, trouble shooting and verification.

Work with global manufacturing resources, procurement, and outside suppliers to meet all TE technical, quality, and cost objectives.

Execute technical documentation to fully detail design drawings and requirements, engineering and product change notices, and design history files.

Required Skills/Experience:

Bachelor’s degree in mechanical engineering or equivalent work experience.

Generally requires 5 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.

Knowledge in socket design, connector design, cable assembly design, or other relevant mechanic design and development, including but not limited to, material selection, tolerance analysis, DFMEA, product qualification, etc.

Proficient 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).

Occasional user of finite element analysis software (Ansys, Workbench).

Proficient in developing and writing design objectives for product specifications.

Basic knowledge in manufacturing process (machining, molding, stamping, plating, assembly, etc.).

Fluent in English (both verbal and written) to facilitate global communication both internally and with external customers.
