STAFF R&D/PRODUCT DVL ENGINEER

Job Overview

Overview : In order to secure the right competency in the engineering, we are empowering the Digital Engineering and Office Efficiency to strengthen our capability to maximize the business profits and upfront technical readiness as critical portion. By the reason, we are happily asking the requirement of this position for new talent recruiting.

This position will help to combine the AI technologies and design optimization for engineer’s efficiency.

And cowork and lead global Digital engineering team and diverse functions - Operation, Quality, Procurement, Sales etc. by close collaboration and strong teamwork with passionate communication.

Digital Engineering and TEOA Engineering are strategic functions within TE Connectivity that drive innovation, efficiency, and operational excellence across engineering and product development.

• Digital Engineering focuses on transforming engineering workflows through the adoption of advanced digital tools and data-driven methodologies. This includes initiatives such as Generative Design, TELme platform integration, AI-based modeling and training, and digital data governance. The function also explores and facilitates proof-of-concept (POC) activities for emerging tools, promoting their adoption through internal community engagement. These efforts enhance design quality, accelerate development cycles, and enable smarter decision-making across engineering teams.
• TEOA Engineering (TE Operational Advantage) is dedicated to continuous improvement and operational maturity. It encompasses leadership in achieving TEOA Star Level certification, managing site-level TEOA metrics, and facilitating Kaizen events that target both soft (process, software) and hard (physical, equipment) improvements. The function also includes coaching and certifying Kaizen Facilitators, aligning with global standards and regional initiatives to foster a culture of structured excellence.

Together, these functions play a critical role in elevating TE Korea’s engineering capabilities, aligning with global digital transformation goals, and delivering customer-centric innovation.

We are fostering the top 5 values - Integrity, Accountability, Inclusion, Innovation and Teamwork.

Role Summary

The Digital & TEOA Engineering Lead is responsible for the strategic planning, execution, and cross-functional coordination of digital transformation and operational excellence initiatives within TE Korea.

• In the Digital Engineering domain, the role leads the development and implementation of regional digital strategies, cascades key AI initiatives from upper functional management, and evaluates their feasibility and improvement potential. The role organizes monthly digital engineering meetings, represents Korea in global councils, and promotes the adoption of digital platforms such as Generative Design and TELme. It also supports AI upskilling and facilitates POC activities for new engineering tools, driving community engagement and internal dissemination.
• In the TEOA Engineering domain, the role manages Korea site-level TEOA activities, collaborates with APAC and global stakeholders, and leads efforts to achieve TEOA Star Level certification. Responsibilities include monitoring TEOA metrics, facilitating Kaizen events for engineering efficiency (both soft and hard improvements), and developing certified Kaizen Facilitators through coaching and judge engagement.

Additionally, the role supports system engineering through structured incident management as RDG/RDO administrator, leads infrastructure improvements such as R&D office renovation and data migration, and ensures alignment with corporate digital and operational standards.
