MANUFACTURING DEVELOPMENT ENGINEER (CABLE ASSEMBLY)

Job Overview

TE Connectivity's Manufacturing and Process Development Engineering Teams significantly impact LEANPD driven new product development projects, driving for excellence in existing manufacturing technologies and methods and striving to implement new manufacturing technologies to provide improved process and tolerance control. They act as the binding element between product development and manufacturing engineering, ensuring the effectiveness and efficiency of this critical interface. They support Product Development in the optimization of designs and piece parts for manufacturability by realizing sample tooling/products/prototypes. They also design, develop, and qualify tooling and processes to meet TE quality and production standards, document all processes and tooling in applicable TE systems, support supply chain to verify supplier compliance and capability, initiate and implement programs to continuously improve quality, cost and cycle time and adhere to all appropriate specifications, regulatory requirements and customer requirements.

What your background should look like:

RESPONSIBILITIES

• To provide recommendation for the best manufacturing concept for a given project to achieve optimum cost, quality and manufacturability targets.
• To provide product design input for manufacturability.
• To conceptualize manufacturing process and tool design concepts, leading to estimates of process parameter inputs for generation of cost models.
• To work with vendors on Prototype tooling and manage the prototyping process to meet cost targets and planned schedule.
• To provide inputs in the various Design Reviews, Design FMEA and be the main driver for Process FMEA.
• To establish Tool specifications, and with input from manufacturing plant Engineers, finalise mass production tooling design concepts and requirements.
• To manage Vendors during mass production tooling fabrication stage to ensure progress per plan and technical requirements are met.
• Buy-off completed mass production tools from supplier.
• Co-ordinate and ensure smooth transfer and start-up of mass production tooling at mass production site.
• Ensure documentation in line with Tooling Acceptance requirement for release to operation.
• Introduce new technology or technique to improve overall operation efficiency and productivity without compromising on quality.
