Job description

 

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

The Data and Devices Business Unit is looking for a Principal R&D Product Development Engineer (PDE) to design and develop socket, high-speed connector and cable assembly solutions which are used inside of switches, servers and storage for data communication. In this role you will be responsible for the design and documentation of new products, from market definition through production and release. In this role, as part of the Advanced Solutions Team, you will be responsible for the design and documentation of new products, from market definition through functional prototyping and transfer to responsible PDE teams. You will conceive original ideas for new products/solutions and develop them into practical and economical models. You will determine specifications, perform engineering analysis, make preliminary sketches and designs, and coordinate support operations (such as fabrication engineering samples and testing). Interaction with customers, vendors, marketing and sales personnel, and other engineering areas during the pre-production stages of new products is also an important part of this role.

Short Description
  • 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 the D&D System Architecture and  Sales/FAE teams in getting the right and clear VOC (voice of customer) to convert to a TE design conceptualization and preliminary product specification. 
  • Conceive concepts and perform feasibility studies.
  • Run mechanical and thermal simulations.
  • Work closely with Signal Integrity team to validate high speed designs.
  • 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, may me functional or non-functional. 
  • Assist project transfer to responsible product development team(s)
  • 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 Advanced Solution Team (AST) perspective to complete the new product development project on time, quality and budget. 
  • Provide technical support to customer, sales, PM and plant teams. Conduct necessary DFMEA, tests, engineering analysis, trouble shooting and verification. 
  • Execute technical documentation to detail initial design drawings and requirements, and design history files.
What your background should look like:
  • 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.
  • 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. 
  • 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 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.
  • Solid understanding of competitive products and intellectual property positions.
  • 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.
  • Proficient in using MS Office software (Word, Excel, PPT, Outlook, MS Teams, etc.).
