Engineer, Design Ii

Description

We are currently building our in-house High-Performance Cable Assembly staff and are looking for a talented Mechanical Design Engineer II to join our team. If you are looking for a way to accelerate your career and be part of a great company, this may be the opportunity for you.

In the Connected Mobility Business Unit, we are at the forefront of the connected car movement. From innovative products like high speed USB and LVDS signaling to mini-coax and 25Gb+ Ethernet solutions, we design and manufacture products that enable flawless data transfer within the next generation of autonomous and connected vehicles.

In this role, you will have the opportunity to be responsible for the development of new and existing High Performance Cable Assembly Products from concept through product release by personally designing and leading the project to exceed product performance, schedule and within budget, collaborating with management, cross functional teams, global share manufacturing locations and customers as require.

DUTIES & RESPONSIBILITIES:

1. Leads development efforts in new connectors, terminals, crimp and cable assemblies (e.g. LVDS, USB, Coaxial, STQ, Ethernet, etc.) for high-speed data transmission used in autonomous vehicles and automotive infotainment systems.

2. Perform gap analysis for BOM and test per customer requirements and automotive test specifications (e.g. USCAR, GMW, FCA, IEC, LV214, ISO, Ford, EIA, etc.) against Molex’s product requirements and conduct cross-functional risk assessment (e.g. DFMEA, DRBFM, etc.) to develop and execute on a project.

3. Responsible for creating validation test plans, overseeing test execution, report documentation and presenting results to the customer.

4. Responsible to lead failure analysis studies to resolve test failures and implement systemic corrective actions.

5. Responsible for analyzing customer requirements and identify, assess, notify, and develop risk mitigation plan and clearly communicate with customers and Molex product development team through technical presentations.

SKILLS & ABILITIES (REQUIRED):

• Customer requirement analysis and assessment.
• Strong project leading and team collaboration.
• Knowledge of the Product development process for High-Speed cable assemblies.
• Strong Knowledge of cable assembly validation process definition and results verification.
• Effective oral and written communication skills as lead of the project.
• Design for Manufacturing/Assembly (DFM/DFA) Experience.
• Strong team collaboration and clear sense of urgency.
• Problem solving skills using systematic tools (8D, fishbone, cause/effect diagrams, DFMEA).
• Strong computer skills; experience with spreadsheets, presentation and Microsoft Office.
• Ability to explain complex technical cable assembly and test concepts to others.
• CAD skills (2D and 3D).
• Knowledge of GD&T, tolerance studies, statistical analysis and FEA.
• Advanced English.

WHAT WILL PUT YOU AHEAD:

• Knowledge of ( SI ) Signal Integrity Performance for High Speed Cable Assemblies.
• What this means in the cable assemblies’ application.
• How SI impacts the performance of the cable assembly.
