MGR I R&D/PRODUCT DVL ENGINEERING

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

• Formulate strategy / road map for Simulation team.
• Manages a portfolio of new and on-going projects, using good project management skills.
• Evaluate mechanical and thermal performance of product designs and processes
• Analyzing stress and deformation in products, based on FEM
• Designing, modelling and simulating mold designs, including cooling, for TE factories and NPD engineers
• Proposing SW integration projects to create multi-physical models that target TE product design needs
• Managing outsourced SW development projects related to the above
• Develops proposals for new projects and enhanced TE modelling and simulation capabilities
• Creates awareness across TE of the modelling and simulation capabilities. Works with local, and regional, TE sites and external customers to address urgent or strategic needs.

Desired Candidate Profile

• Minimum 15+ years of experience in the field of Finite element simulations.
• Sound knowledge on ANSYS workbench in Structural and Thermal simulations is a must.
• Knowledge on LS-Dyna, Simufact or Moldflow will be an added advantage
• Should know the basics of FEA and able to create hand calculation to verify the designs.
• Correlation of FEM results to Lab reports
• Should have knowledge on Plastics manufacturing processes.
• Highly motivated to be a good team player
• Fluent in English both written and spoken; additional knowledge of another language (e. g. German, French) is an advantage
• Excellent interpersonal and communication skills
