Sr R&D/Product DVL Engineer

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 company Product Managers/Sales/Field Application Engineers in getting the right and clear VOC (voice of customer) and convert to a company 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 company 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.
• 12+ 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, or other relevant mechanical design and development.
• Knowledge in relevant mechanical design and development, including but not limited to, material selection, tolerance analysis, DFMEA, product qualification, etc. 
• Expert in 3D Design Applications (such as Creo, Spaceclaim, etc.)
• Proficient in geometric dimensioning & tolerancing (GD&T). Proficient at limit and fit analysis including statistical tolerance analysis.
• Proficient user of finite element analysis software (Ansys, Workbench) including elastic and plastic behavior of metals.
• Proficient in developing and writing design objectives for product specifications
• In depth knowledge in manufacturing process (machining, molding, stamping, plating, assembly, etc.) with experience driving Design for Manufacturing (DFM)   
• Fluent in English (both verbal and written) to facilitate global communication both internally and with external customers.
• Ability to work in a global environment – able to accommodate varying time zones and capable of collaborating with individuals across geographies.
• Advanced problem solver – able to handle moderate complexity situations and use data analytics and critical thinking to reach logical conclusions with limited direction
• 8+ 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
• Proficient in 3D Design Applications (such as Creo, Spaceclaim, etc.)
• 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.) with experience driving Design for Manufacturing (DFM)
