Career Opportunities: SR MFG & PROCESS DVL ENGINEER - REMOTE (132677)

Job Overview

TE Connectivity’s Advanced Manufacturing and Process Development group – part of the Automotive Business Unit - has an exciting opportunity for a highly motivated individual who can create immediate business impact in the exciting field of injection molding simulation.  In this role – you will utilize your skills and experience to develop Digital Twins of physical parts and the processes used to manufacture them.    You will then use these “twins” to model various scenarios and develop optimized production processes and answer questions for various stakeholders as we continue our digital transformation.  You will work closely with your Automotive colleagues to bring understanding and insights to both existing and future process developments.

The successful candidate must be passionate about innovation, enjoy self-directed learning, and being part of cross-functionals teams.  You will need to develop new ideas and implement simulations for critical projects and be able to communicate their value to the broader team. 

A highly motivated individual will be an ideal fit for this role as it will require the use of multiple software tools within TE.  If you have a background in plastic manufacturing plus CAD expertise – and are the type of person others can rely on to figure something out – we want to talk to you!

Job Responsibilities

• Responsible for requirement collection, benchmarking and simulation of injection molding processes
• Interact with colleagues, vendors, and other manufacturing engineering functions regularly to exchange information and share results effectively
• Ability to handle many projects simultaneously
• Ability to learn all necessary software & simulation tools
• Ability to travel to support solutions in the field – including (but not limited to TE Automotive Americas locations (Mexico and United States)

Other Required Aptitudes:

• Ability to rapidly prepare simulation models and deliver results
• Superior time management skills and ability to work independently, as needed
• A high-level understanding of stamping, plating, and assembly of TE products
• Demonstrated problem solving ability and a strong mechanical aptitude

Key Skills

• Fluent English proficiency required
