Job Overview
Join our Product Development team as a Staff Data Scientist Engineer. You will lead data-driven initiatives, applying advanced analytics to solve complex engineering challenges and influence the design of cutting-edge high-speed connectivity products. By collaborating with cross-functional teams, you will transform data into actionable insights that drive critical design decisions and enhance product performance.

Key Responsibilities

• Translate engineering challenges into analytical problems and solve them using advanced methods (e.g., physics-based modeling, DOE, statistics, simulation).
• Acquire, clean, and analyze large, multi-source datasets to identify trends and inform product/process design.
• Develop custom algorithms for mechanical/signal integrity modeling and early-stage product validation.
• Build tools and processes for efficient data collection, enabling traceability and large-scale correlation analysis.
• Clearly present data-driven findings and complex results to diverse stakeholders and cross-functional teams.
• Support reliability testing, troubleshooting, and technical customer requests.
• Embed best practices to reduce costs and improve "first-time-right" design and manufacturing.

Qualifications Required

• Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Physics, Materials Science, or a related STEM field.
• 10+ years of experience in quality assurance or reliability engineering.
• Strong understanding of manufacturing processes (Stamping, Plating, Assembly, Molding) and GD&T.
• Practical experience with Six Sigma tools (e.g., FMEA, 8D).
• Proficiency in data analysis tools (Python, R, SQL, JMP, Minitab) and a solid grasp of how mechanical principles affect electrical performance.
• Familiarity with product development processes, 3D CAD, and simulation tools.

Preferred

• Experience with HSIO cages/connectors, cable assemblies, or OTB products.
• Knowledge of metal and plastic material properties.

Soft Skills

• Fluent in English with excellent communication skills.
• Effective in a global, cross-functional team environment.
• Self-motivated, adaptable, and a collaborative problem-solver.

What your background should look like

Generally requires Bachelors degree in appropriate field with a minimum of 8 years of experience; Masters degree or higher or local equivalent may be preferred at this level
