Senior FEA Analyst

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.

Responsibilities

•    Validate concept designs using simulation techniques and determine design robustness, critical to function requirements.
•    Deploy FEA Techniques – implicit and explicit approach, using Software tools like Ansys Work Bench, LSdyna, Hypermesh, Simufact, Digimat etc. 
•    Translate actual problem to Finite Element Analysis (FEA) model, interpret analysis results and select best solution which includes linear & non-linear analysis under different physics.
•    Monitor and evaluate simulation software capabilities and industry trends.
•    Deploy standardized process and work methodology.
•    Train and develop capability of the team to be a multi-skilled resource pool. 
•    Benchmark implement productivity improvement methods.
•    Track monitor metrics for sustained performance covering quality & delivery.
•    Collaborate with design & validation teams to enhance the design optimization.
 

Desired Candidate Profile
