.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 OverviewTE Connectivity's Manufacturing Engineering Teams are process leaders for stamping, molding or assembly related topics, ensuring the processes are running at optimum levels for quality and output. They are experts in mold tooling, die tooling, machining, and assembly techniques, possessing extensive knowledge of the associated manufacturing processes which may include the optimization and standardization of stamping / molding / assembly or other processes within the manufacturing environment. Manufacturing Engineering Teams enable the TE business unit plants to reach TE Operating Advantage (TEOA) requirements, roll out Centers of Excellence (COE), Best Demonstrated Practices (BDP's) and advise plants on tool and machine duplications / corrections / improvements. They design and develop manufacturing process and automation platforms and apply them for the realization of new product developments as well as optimization of existing products already in production. The Teams also support Product Development in the selection and optimization of tools for piece part production and the selection of the most suitable manufacturing concepts relative to planned manufacturing quantities, quality requirements and manufacturing location. They act as interface between engineering and production to ensure manufacturability of new designs and smooth production ramp up as well as support the research & development teams to produce sample manufacturing equipment, product samples and prototypes.What your background should look like:ACTIVITIES:
- Applying extensive knowledge to the design, build, and procurement of mold tooling to meet TE quality and production standards.
- Assisting with the identification and implementation of new molding technologies into our footprint.
- Serving as technical resource for consulting on complex internal / external mold processing, tooling, resin, quality, and capacity concerns.
- Supporting and coordinating TE Best and Molding COE activities as well as recommending and implementing best practices.
- Using data driven analytical problem-solving techniques such Six Sigma, DMAIC, 8D, etc. to determine root cause of molding problems with recommended solutions, driving improved process capability.
- Supporting the deployment of Molding Excellence and TEOA foundations in the ADM molding environment.
- Working with Supply Chain and Procurement teams on sourcing molded components and supporting external supply base as necessary.
- Collaborating with Product Development Engineering to ensure designs meet cost objectives and are driven by design for manufacturability principles
