Sr R&D/Product DVL Engineer - CPU Socket

Responsibilities: 

Responsible for product development of socket, high-speed connector, and cable assembly solutions from market definition through production and release: 

• Work closely with the customer and TE sales/SA/FAE/PM in getting the right and clear VOC (voice of customer) and convert to a TE design conceptualization and preliminary product specification.  
• Conceive concepts and perform feasibility studies. 
• Run mechanical and thermal simulations. 
• Make the engineering evaluation/proposal to the customer.  
• Create the detailed design including 2D/3D drawings and perform DFMEA/tolerance analysis. 
• Build prototype samples and perform validation.  
• Complete product qualification and finalize product specification. 
• Provide technical support to the Operations team including Quality and Production for efficiency improvement and safe launch. 
• Resolve product related issues to closure and manage the ECN/PCN (Engineering Change Notification/ Product Change Notification). 
• Build a deep understanding of the market and customer needs by fostering a connection between the business engineering teams and the customer engineering teams 
• Maintain a system level understanding of the customer application and the product design/concept necessary for providing a solution to the customers’ expectation.  
• Follow the LEANPD Project Process to support the project team from the product development engineering (PDE) perspective to complete the new product development project on time, quality and budget. 
• Drive the development and release of product, scale-up through stage-gate reviews, ensuring milestone commitments are maintained. 
• Provide technical support to customer, sales, PM and plant teams. 
• Conduct necessary DFMEA, tests, engineering analysis, trouble shooting and verification.  
• Work with global manufacturing resources, procurement, and outside suppliers to meet all TE technical, quality, and cost objectives. 
• Execute technical documentation to fully detail design drawings and requirements, engineering and product change notices, and design history files. 

Requirements:

• Bachelor’s degree in mechanical engineering or equivalent work experience. 
• Generally requires 5 years of relevant mechanical engineering work experience with electrical components, electrical devices, mechanical structure design, manufacturing tooling development (stamping, molding, assembly, plating), or manufacturing process development. 
• Knowledge in socket design, connector design, cable assembly design, or other relevant mechanic design and development, including but not limited to, material selection, tolerance analysis, DFMEA, product qualification, etc.
• Proficient in 3D CAD applications (Creo preferred) with experience in 3D solid modeling including sheet metal, 2-D drawings, PDM link Data Manager and general knowledge in design applications such as Spaceclaim, Solidworks, or others used only in the concept stage.       
• Proficient in geometric dimensioning & tolerancing (GD&T).  
• Occasional user of finite element analysis software (Ansys, Workbench). 
• Proficient in developing and writing design objectives for product specifications. 
• Basic knowledge in manufacturing process (machining, molding, stamping, plating, assembly, etc.). 
• Fluent in English (both verbal and written) to facilitate global communication both internally and with external customers.
