TE Connectivity's Manufacturing and Process Development Engineering Teams significantly impacts LEANPD driven new product development projects, driving for excellence in existing manufacturing technologies and methods, and striving to implement new manufacturing technologies to provide improved process and tolerance control. They act as the binding element between product development and operational manufacturing engineering. They support Product Development in the optimization of product designs for manufacturability through established knowledge. They also design, develop, and qualify tooling and processes to meet TE quality and production standards, document all processes and tooling in applicable TE systems, and support cost and cycle time reduction projects within operations.
Responsibilities & Qualifications
The BCS sub-vertical within the Industrial Business Unit of TE Connectivity has an opportunity for a Sr. Manufacturing and Process Development Engineer. This is a key position to support P&S Heavy Duty connector portfolio growth by success NPI launch with Lead on time , Lead on quality and Lead on cost.
This position will be responsible for the development for overall manufacture and process solution from product concept stage till industrialize stage with the support from other team members .The engineer will also work with the business unit to support initiatives for platform derivatives for new product introduction, product insourcing efforts, and cost out efforts.
Key responsibilities for this position include:
- Responsible for all aspects of automation or manual line aligned to new product introduction: concepting, quoting, requisitioning, design for manufacturability, machine design reviews, build, conditioning, validation, first article approval, and process capability
- Main contact window for other process launch in Xiamen Plant (i.e. molding ,stamping ,die casting , machining )
- Ensure documentation meets all TE requirements
- Evaluate and recommend assembly processes and machine designs to ensure that manufacturing capabilities meet capacity and cost objectives
- Identify new assembly technologies to reduce costs, improved efficiencies, and decrease ppm defects that will differentiate us from competition. Select correct automation and control technologies for different processes considering both flexibility and scalability
- Generate capacity analysis for both current and future platform expansions
- Utilize flexible assembly prototyping techniques to support product validation testing and minimize subsequent conditioning time
- Insure safety standards per TEC-124-98 reflective of IEC, ANSI, NEC, and RIA standards and TEC-103-159 General Assembly Machine Requirements are met for all assembly machine builds
- Insure all designs for BCS processes are available and at current revision regardless of internal or external production upon product launches
- Provide necessary engineering support for automation to other development functions to create solutions for cross-functional projects
- Initiate and review design and process constructions and/or major modifications
- Work with Global Centers of Excellence and Advanced Manufacturing Technology groups to ensure deployment across the Business Units
