SR R&D/PRODUCT DVL ENGINEER

Job Overview

TE Connectivity’s R&D/Product Development Engineering Teams conceive original ideas for new products, introduce them into practice. They are responsible for product development, and qualification from market definition through production and release; assist in the qualification of suppliers for new products to ensure suppliers deliver quality parts, materials, and services for new or improved manufacturing processes; conduct feasibility studies, testing on new and modified designs; direct and support detailed design, testing, prototype fabrication and manufacturing ramp. The R&D/Product Development Engineering Teams provide all required product documentation including, but not limited to, Solid Model, 2D/3D production drawings, product specifications, and testing requirements. They create and modify detailed drawings and drafting or conceptual models from layouts, rough sketches or notes and contribute to design modifications to facilitate manufacturing operation or quality of product. Typical fields of expertise include: materials, mechanics and systems, electrical, optics, chemistry, software, automation systems, packaging, testing and measurement, and manufacturing of electrical, mechanical and electronic components, products, and their integration into systems.

What your background should look like:

Responsibilities:
•    Subject matter expert in signal integrity design, simulation and validation activities through product development cycles
•    Establishing signal integrity design performance/functional requirements for new products by closely engaging with front teams / lead customers 
•    Performing signal integrity simulations for multiple high-speed standards on each product. This includes determining the correct simulation methodology and setup to use, as well as a good understanding of the criteria for each interface.
•    Driving product development for business success
•    Engaging in innovative simulation and test tool improvement and process enhancement
•    Driving best practices and efficiency in connector design and component qualifications from a signal integrity standpoint.
•    Being a mentor and teacher to other engineers across disciplines / BUs, writes and presents technical papers at internal and external conferences.
•    Being an expert in analyzing competitive products and driving internal & competing IP positions

Required Skills/Experience:
•    Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering or equivalent work experience; Master’s degree highly recommended
•    Minimum of 10 years of relevant work experience in electrical design, RF design, or PCB design
•    Highly proficient with signal integrity analysis tools (Agilent ADS, Ansys HFSS, CST, or equivalent tools)
•    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.
•    Familiarity with printed circuit board design, fabrication, and assembly.
•    Fluent in English (both verbal and written) to facilitate global communication both internally and with external customers.
•    Ability to work in a global environment – able to accommodate varying time zones and capable of collaborating with individuals across geographies.
•    Ability to, and experience with, teaching and training peers in applying software tools and methodologies, and in the use of electrical test equipment, including VNA’s and TDR’s
•    Individual must be highly motivated, a quick learner, and able to work independently
