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.

About the role:

• Perform electromechanical design of components (machined, glass-to-metal seal, stamped, castings among others), stack-up analysis, materials and assemblies including model and print generation.
• Design, Analyze, Test and support manufacturing of new pressure sensors during the NPD process (LEANPD) in liaison with international cross functional teams such as scientists, product managers, process development and manufacturing.
• Partner with manufacturing engineering to understand products and existing processes to improve cost and efficiency (VA/VE projects).
• Analyze quantitative information and applies professional judgement to resolve a variety of moderately complex problems; using analytical and problem solving methods.

• Prepare procedures and test plans to evaluate products for design verification (DVP&R), product validation (PVP&R) or product improvement, interpreting results.

What your background should look like:

• BS in Mechanical, Electromechanical, Electrical/ Electronic or similar.
• 5+ experience with CAD for modeling and drafting – preferably Solidworks. Experience in Mechanical Simulation (FEM - ANSYS) is a plus
• Electrical troubleshooting skills (Advanced level).
• Strong project management skills are essential
• Analytical problem solver, performing root cause analysis and designing solutions using methodologies - Six Sigma or Shainin Red X preferred
• Knowledge of New Product Development Process with Stage-Gate Process (APQP, PPAP).
