Staff Manufacturing & Process Development Engineer at TE connectivity
Middletown, PA 17057
About the Job
At TE, you will unleash your potential working with people from diverse backgrounds and industries to create a safer, sustainable and more connected world. Job OverviewTE Connectivity's Manufacturing and Process Development Engineering Teams significantly impact 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 manufacturing engineering, ensuring the effectiveness and efficiency of this critical interface
They support Product Development in the optimization of designs and piece parts for manufacturability by realizing sample tooling/products/prototypes
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, support supply chain to verify supplier compliance and capability, initiate and implement programs to continuously improve quality, cost and cycle time and adhere to all appropriate specifications, regulatory requirements and customer requirements.The Aerospace, Defense and Marine (AD&M) business unit of TE is part of the Industrial Solutions segment and is a world leader in the design of components and electrical interconnection solutions that are used for applications in extreme and rigorous environments
These interconnection solutions make possible applications of avionics, jet and propulsion engine management, flight controls, grounding systems and onboard entertainment (EAB) for today's "connected aircraft"
This capability is extended to military, marine, aviation, space, land, and drone vehicles, as well as oil and gas exploration of open-ocean deposits
TE offers solutions for enhanced connectivity that work and resist in the most extreme environments on Earth, from the deepest oceans to the ends of space
Job OverviewWe are currently seeking a highly motivated Staff Manufacturing and Process Development Engineer to join our Advanced Manufacturing Development Team

• Resolve tool and design problems as related to the assembly of components
• Apply knowledge to the design, build, and procurement of assembly tooling to meet TE quality and production standards
• New process development, including process documentation and qualification
• Work in a hands-on environment being directly responsible for engineering sample builds, design verification samples, and qualification product
• Collaborate with Product Development Engineering to ensure designs meet cost objectives and are driven by design for manufacturability principles
• Provide manufacturing engineering expertise to several assigned projects while ensuring key deliverables are met per project schedules
• Support Project Management Office in project quoting and manufacturing location selection to improve margin, OI, and ROI
• Participating and leading FMEA reviews
• Analyze process/equipment capability and performing DOEs to establish optimal processes and equipment
• Continually research new technologies and processes to drive quality improvements and cost savings
• Continually developing through internal and external learning platformsWhat your background looks like...• Bachelor's degree in Mechanical or Manufacturing Engineering, with 8+ years of relevant experience
• Experience with machine and equipment design, development, and manufacturing deployment
• High level of competency with 3-D modeling software, Creo preferred but not required
• Proficient in MS Office Software such as Excel, Word, PowerPoint, and Project.
• Knowledge in statistical software packages such Minitab preferred but not required
• Sound project management skills
• Working knowledge of six sigma and lean manufacturing tools
• Understanding of material and conversion saving calculations
• Capability to work in a fasted paced, dynamic global environment with multiple changing priorities
• Knowledge in mil-aero products is desirable but not required
• Strong interpersonal and communication skills
• A self-starter that requires minimal supervision
