Job Overview

As a Hardware/Validation Engineer for TE Connectivity you will focus on the electrical design, simulation, and verification-validation testing of high-speed products in cable assemblies targeting high speed communications and connectivity within datacenters and wireless infrastructure. You will work collaboratively within a broader cross functional team of electrical, mechanical, manufacturing, & operations to execute leading edge products designs, testing, and validation. You will tackle challenging design and testing problems and utilize simulation and programming tools to guide complex designs toward success.

Job Requirements

•    Testing, validation, and design of high-speed data cable assemblies
•    Establishing electrical design performance/functional requirements for new products
•    Developing associated test systems, testing documentation, and procedures
•    Component/Equipment selection, schematic design, PCB Layout, and product validation testing
•    Creating actionable recommendations based upon design reviews and simulation results
•    Making data driven decisions about the product functionality and areas for improvement.

What your background should look like

•    Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering (or similar degree) 3-5 years experience

•    Familiarity with high-speed test equipment (Digital Sampling Oscilloscope, Vector Network Analyzer, Bit Error Rate Tester, TDR, Pattern Generators, Power Supplies, etc.)
•    Familiarity with signal conditioning techniques (equalization, amplification, FIR’s, CTLE’s)
•    Familiarity with component selection, schematic capture, printed circuit board design, fabrication and assembly.  
•    Familiarity with electronic design and analysis tools (Altium PCB, ADS, Ansys Designer)
•    A solid understanding of electromagnetic theory and electrical circuit behavior 
•    Strong analytical capabilities to interpret simulation and lab data to identify issues and provide solutions to fix identified problem.  
•    Excellent verbal and written communication skills
•    Ability to work in a global environment – able to accommodate varying time zones, fluent in English (verbal/written), able to collaborate with individuals across geographies
•    Individual must be highly motivated, a quick learner, and able to work independently
