STAFF MFG & PROCESS DVL ENGINEER

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 Overview

TE 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.

What your background should look like:

Tasks:

• Participate in the design and development of tools and mold processes to support the development of new products.
• Support product development, including manufacturing optimization designs, tooling sampling, product samples, and prototypes.
• Responsible for collaborating with global experts (CoE molding) to continuously update and improve operating standards regarding plastic injection molding.
• Collaborate in incorporating the latest technologies and trends in process design to maximize performance and efficiency.
• Responsible for providing budgets for new tools and mold processes.
• Ensure, in conjunction with the multidisciplinary team, that molds and processes are designed to produce high-quality products efficiently and effectively at the lowest possible cost.
• Coordinate changes and red lines on drawings and inform the designer to execute these changes.
• Provide training to the mold and process workshop area on failure analysis, procedures, and systems.
• Review new projects coming to the plant with the launch team, including documentation and process tracking during the plant’s launch phase.
• Work with the engineering team on FMEA, projects, and launches to optimize and improve the molding process.
• Provide information and documentation for the activation of plastic injection molds in systems such as SAP, Hydra, etc., for their production and maintenance.
• Participate in the development and maintenance of PFMEAS with the multidisciplinary team.
• Participate in the development of Control Plans.
• Participate in the plant’s Continuous Improvement Programs.
• Analyze customer specifications.
• Support in analyzing tool and equipment capacities for new part numbers and changes in quoted volumes.
• Support the designer in controlling 2D and 3D drawings.
• Conduct product/process analysis for cost reduction, quality improvement, and efficiency enhancement.
• Provide support for administration, set up, and layouts in the mold workshop.
• Responsible for the design and maintenance of plastic injection molds.

Profile:

• Mechanical Engineering / Mechatronics Engineering / Or related field
• 5-10 years in a similar position
• Proficient in design software (CAD) such as Creo (Pro-E), SolidWorks, SpaceClaim, AutoCAD, CATIA, preferably.
• Proficient in simulation software (CAE) for plastic filling, such as Moldflow, Autodesk Moldflow, (ANSYS).
• RJG MM1 certified or equivalent experience.
• Good knowledge of tool manufacturing, tool steel application/selection, heat treatment, and plating/coating.
• Strong understanding of polymer technology, particularly engineering-grade resins.
