Business Unit (BU) Description

As a member of the Digital Data Networks (DDN) business in TE Connectivity, you will play a key role in the design of products for high-speed products in the connector, cable assembly, and/or radio system industry—targeting high-speed communications and connectivity within data centers and wireless infrastructure.

Role Description:

The Master Black Belt (MBB) serves as an enterprise-level leader for problem solving excellence, continuous improvement, and capability development. The MBB will be instrumental in the development, deployment, training and certification of the entire DFSS/Six Sigma Strategy within the business unit, ensuring it aligns with business objectives and drives significant improvement in execution, productivity, and measurable business results.
The MBB will lead the training and certification of Black Belts and Green Belts, strengthening cross-functional team performance, utilization of tools and robust methodologies, and fostering a data-driven culture. The primary aim is to lead Cultural Transformation and systematically instill Six Sigma principles and data-driven decision-making into the company's systems, policies, processes and culture.
The MBB will ensure Six Sigma Training modules are developed in a manner that allows tailoring of training specific to the audience, optimizing the training for targeted functions within the organization: from full DFFSS to DMAIC to Lean as well as focused workshops.
The MBB will be a master coach, mentor, and strategic problem solver within the business unit. The MBB may also be assigned to key strategic programs to serve as Technical Problem-Solving Expert, coaching teams in data collection, data analysis, and tool usage to solving technically complex challenges.
It is estimated that around 40% ~ 50% of the MBB’s bandwidth will be focused on deployment, training and certification of the DFSS/Six Sigma Training Program, and the remainder will be spent providing expert DFSS/Six Sigma support on special strategic NPI Programs, Critical Operational Projects and other strategic topics relevant to DDN India Site.
