R&D/PRODUCT DVL ENGINEER II

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 & Responsibility:

• Expert in signal integrity design, simulation, and validation activities through product development cycles.
• Establishing signal integrity design performance/functional requirements for new products.
• Performing signal integrity simulations for multiple high-speed standards on each product. This includes determining the correct simulation methodology and setup to use, as well as a good understanding of the criteria for each interface.
• Creating actionable recommendations based upon design reviews and simulation results.
• Guiding connector design and component qualifications from a signal integrity standpoint. Making data driven decisions about the product functionality and areas for improvement.
• Physical verification and testing of boards and Troubleshooting.
• Evaluate the signal integrity of cables and other components.
• Evaluate S parameters and characteristic impedance in TDR.
• Validate the simulation results against closely equivalent international standards, experimental results, or analytical solution as available.
• Create analysis reports, reference manual and lessons learnt documents.
• Execute simulations in a quick turnaround time and in sync with the Product Development milestone requirements.
• Open to learning new skills, tools/software in the simulation domain.
   

Desired candidate profile:

• Around 5-7 years of research/industrial simulation experience in medical, automobile, aerospace, or any product company.
• Good knowledge of simulation tools like ANSYS HFSS & PCB design software like Altium.
• Sound knowledge of Electrical Engineering fundamentals.
• Ability to come up with new solutions based on analysis and modify designs for evaluation.
• Experience with interconnect design, including socket/connector/cable/cable assembly design (high-speed twinax cables, direct attach copper (DAC) cables), and/or RF antenna, RF sub-system.

Signal integrity analysis tools (Agilent ADS, Ansys HFSS, CST, or equivalent tools).
A solid understanding of electromagnetic theory and electrical circuit behavior.
