BU / FUNCTION DESCRIPTION

Power Solution engineering team in D&D is responsible for development of innovative power interconnection solution products which are used in the hyperscale computer, AI, Datacenter, Cloud server, and other IT system, including connector and cable assembly.

Manage the complete product development life cycle (starting from voice of customer, ideation, Design Conceptualization, Creation of product specifications, 3D design, Prototyping, Product testing, Product qualification, Project Execution & Sustenance till product end of life)
Build a deep understanding of market and customer needs by fostering a connection between the business engineering teams and the customer engineering teams
Work closely with customer/sales/PM in getting the right and clear VOC (voice of customer), make engineering evaluation/proposal to customer.
Maintain a System level understanding of customer application and the cable design/concept necessary for providing a solution to the customers expectation.
Follow LEANPD Project Process to support project team from PDE perspective to complete Project (NPI or Sustaining) on time, quality and budget. Drive the development and release of product, scale-up through stage-gate reviews, ensuring milestone commitments are maintained.
Technical support to customer, sales, PM and plant team. Conduct necessary test, engineering analysis, trouble shooting and verification.
Work with global manufacturing resources, procurement, and outside suppliers to meet all TE technical, quality, and cost objectives
Introduce breakthrough technologies by partnering technically with our customers worldwide and with our TE Global competency centers to enhance business revenue & growth.
Apply engineering best practice to reduce cost and sustain exiting products to meet customer s cost targets.

Bachelor degree (Mechanical) required and Master is preferred
Knowledge about various phases of product realization and product development
Knowledge of state-of-the-art design tools such as 3D Computer Aided Design (CAD), modelling, Geometric Dimension & Tolerancing (GD&T), electrical & electronic design and Simulation
Basic knowledge in manufacturing process (machining, molding, stamping, plating, etc.) will be a plus.
Basic knowledge in material (metal/plastic) properties will be a plus.
Knowledge of power distribution system and connection components.
Familiarity with power safety standards and agency approval of power connector/cable/cable assembly.
