STAFF HARDWARE DESIGN ENGINEER

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;

As a Staff Engineer in the Industrial & Medical Sensors team, you will focus on developing high-quality magnetic sensors (MR-based) for industrial and medical applications. You’ll lead the design, development, and validation of sensor products, working on areas like magnetic design, electrical hardware design, and calibration. You’ll collaborate with different teams (like sales, product management, and system architects) and support junior engineers to build capabilities within the team

Responsibilities

• Cross-Functional Collaboration: Work with sales, system architecture, and product management teams to develop applications based on customer needs and translate these into detailed technical specifications.

• Customer Engagement: Interface with customers to discuss technical requirements and provide updates on design progress and validation results, fostering strong technical relationships.

• Sensor Design and Validation: Design and validate electronics for Position xMR encoders aimed at global markets, focusing on optimizing product performance and addressing technical challenges.

• Mentorship: Share knowledge and mentor junior engineers to build their technical capabilities and promote continuous learning within the team.

• Technology Evaluation: Monitor application and technology trends, identifying and assessing new technologies for potential implementation in sensor designs.

• Project Support: Participate in design reviews and core team meetings to support project execution, ensuring alignment with project objectives.

• Prototype Testing: Conduct simulations and prototype testing to verify that technologies meet expected performance and functional requirements.

• Technical Leadership: Lead the development of sensor products by collaborating with project management and cross-functional teams, ensuring successful product delivery.

• Manufacturing Oversight: Oversee component sourcing and product manufacturing processes, managing relationships with suppliers and subcontractors.

• Testing and Validation: Develop and manage test plans for product validation at all stages, ensuring rigorous execution and analysis of test data.

• Risk Management: Identify project risks and develop strategies to mitigate them, ensuring timely execution of project deliverables.

• Continuous Improvement: Assess processes to identify areas for improvement, driving a culture of continuous enhancement within the engineering team.
