The R&D/Product Development Engineering Teams conceive original ideas for new products, introduce them into practice, and are responsible for product development and qualification from market definition through production and release. The teams provide all required product documentation, create and modify detailed drawings and drafting or conceptual models, 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.
Requirements
- 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' expectations
- 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 the product, scale-up through stage-gate reviews, ensuring milestone commitments are maintained
- Provide technical support to customers, sales, PM, and plant teams
- Conduct necessary DFMEA, tests, engineering analysis, troubleshooting, 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
