R&D/PRODUCT DVL ENGINEER I

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.

Roles and Responsibilities:

As a Signal Integrity Engineer for TE Connectivity, you will focus on electrical and high-speed aspects of TE’s connector and cable assembly products - targeting high speed communications and connectivity within datacenters and wireless infrastructure. You will be expected to independently work with electrical models and measured performance data, for TE products and the systems in which they are applied. Signal integrity projects include product and system design through modeling and simulation. You will work collaboratively within a broader cross functional team of mechanical, manufacturing, & operations engineers to execute leading edge products designs. 

 

RESPONSIBILITIES 

  

• Cataloguing and distributing electrical models, involves database usage, file management, and direct email interaction with customers.   
• Signal integrity documentation activities of various TE products based on measured and modeled data. 
• Charting, plotting, and organizing of electrical characterization data. 
• Apply high-speed standards and requirements to channel analysis. 
• Create and present summaries of large sets of electrical data 
• Guide engineering teams on acceptable practices and recommended actions based on data driven signal integrity conclusions. 
• Work with a diverse team spanning the globe 

Education and Competencies:

• B.E / B. Tech : Generally, 2+ years of experience in supporting Development / Product Engineering activities. 
• ME/Mtech - Generally, 1+ years of experience in supporting Development / Product Engineering activities. 
• Experience with interconnect design or experience with connector &/or cable/cable assembly design (high speed twinax cables, direct attach (DAC/AOC) cables), &/or system hardware 

 

COMPETENCIES 

FUNCTIONAL:  

• Familiarity with the following: 
• Electrical characterization parameters (insertion loss, return loss, noise, jitter, eye patterns, skew, impedance) 
• Signal conditioning techniques (equalization, amplification) a plus. 
• Connector and cable assembly, antenna, and high-speed hardware design  
• Programming (application specific, macros, and/or general knowledge)  
• Data management tools (Excel, Matlab, etc…) 
• Word processing tools (i.e., Word) 
• Ability to work in a global environment – able to accommodate varying time zones, able to collaborate with individuals across geographies. 
• Experience working with customers (design and support)
