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.

•    Responsible for Design and Development of Stamping tooling and Processes to support new product development.
•    Own DFM, PFMEA to optimize product design, process design and tooling design, Realizes sample tooling and product samples. Determines the most suitable manufacturing concepts related to planned manufacturing quantities, quality requirements and manufacturing location.
•    Ensure stampings and processes are designed to be capable of producing good quality products efficiently and effectively at the lowest possible cost.
•    Ensure projects are completed in a timely manner and properly transferred to manufacturing upon First Article approval complete with documentation.
•    Provide cost estimations for new stamping tooling and processes.
•    Work within a cross-functional team consisting of various process experts.
•    Integrate feedback and lessons learned into new stampings and stamping processes.
•    Collaborate with global experts to update and continuously improve operational standards with regard to stamping.
•    Study or Introduce new technologies into process designs to maximize yield and efficiency.
 

What your background should look like:
