Job Overview

BU  / FUNCTION DESCRIPTION

Our purpose in Data and Devices is to create a safer, sustainable, productive and connected future across our key markets:

• Artificial Intelligence (AI)
• Cloud
• Enterprise/Telecommunications
• Tier 3/Business Retail Equipment (BRE)
• Internet of Things (IoT)

In these markets, we are driving growth and innovation with an industry-leading product portfolio, global manufacturing capabilities and the expertise and dedication of each of our employees across all functions.

AI is an emerging trend of a global industry and AI chip volume is growing. The purpose of D&D Socket team is to create a socket platform for:

• Large size and high speed signaling (224G/448Gbps) for AI GPU, x89 CPU and Switch NPU
• Small pitch, High density and high speed signaling (224G/448Gbps) for CPO, CPC and Near Chip

And to provide timely, technically differentiated, muti-gen solution through co-architect with our customers.

Job Requirements

Responsibility:

• Responsible for new platform socket product development reporting to Sockets Platform team manager directly.
• Work closely with internal teams (Sales, Product Manager (PM), System Architecture, Manufacturing Process Development Engineer (MPDE)) to create best competitive new platform design.
• Often communicate with customers directly to get the detailed product requirements or to provide the key engineering information directly. The customers may be in US, China, or other countries.
• Generate new platform product concept based on the technology requirements which are provided from technology roadmap, customer inputs, manufacturing constraints and the cost target. The product often requires the adaptation of new product technology, process technology, and/or materials.
• Execute new product and technology development project following TE new product development (new development process with stage gates) process by creating the deliverables (Design Concept, Simulation, PRD, DFMEA, etc.)
• Provide concept/design and feasibility study, design review meeting, well documentation, drawing/spec/necessary engineering documents release and archive.
• Lead in resolving the technical issues down to the closure and manage design & engineering changes.
• Hands-on try-out for getting feasible technical proposal, problem/issues solving, new solutions. Demonstrate TE solution with simulation, solid samples and/or professional engineering reports.
• Judging manufacturing deviations and make decisions on deviation acceptance.
• Work with First Article Inspection (FAI) approvals, Process Capability Study, 8D report and 5 WHY analysis.
• Periodical engineering review and report.
• Technical support to customer, conduct necessary test, engineering analysis. Interacts with customers, vendors, marketing and sales personnel, and other engineering areas for working alignment.

What your background should look like

• B.S. degree or above, majored in mechanical engineering or related field. 7~8 years (or above) working experience.
• Working experience of connectors design with new product concept creation and installation. Socket related working experience is MOST PREFERRED. The product concept creation experiences in connectors such as fine pitch BTB and high-speed I/O connectors are also preferred.
• Extensive knowledge about molding, stamping, plating, and auto assembly processes. The manufacturing process knowledge associated to miniature sized products will be a plus.
• Abundant knowledge in material usage, industry standard, and product application.
• Understand relevant knowledge about product reliability test, including mechanical, electrical, and environmental test.
• Proficient to use Creo or equivalent 3D CAD tool with solid working experience.
• FEA simulation skill. Experience in ANSYS Mechanical is a Must.
• Tolerance analysis skill of worst cast analysis, RSS analysis, MC simulation, and statistical risk evaluation capability.
• Knowledge in basic quality engineering such as Gauge R&R, SPC, QC Flow.
• Willing to communicate proactively with good communication skills in English (oral and written) to understand customer requirement correctly and conveying engineering information. Proficiency in Japanese is a plus.
• Good presentation skills with usage of PowerPoint (PPT) presentations.
• Mastery of office software such as Excel, PPT, etc.
• Effective problem-solving skills, willingness/ability to deal complex technical issues.
• Ability to work independently but collaboratively. Be clear with priorities by communications and execute the tasks accordingly.
