Job Overview

As a Hardware Engineer for TE Connectivity you will focus on the electrical design, simulation, and verification-validation testing of high-speed products in cable assemblies targeting high speed communications and connectivity within datacenters and wireless infrastructure. You will be expected to independently work on projects in the areas of hardware design and validation for product, system design including modeling, simulation, testing and circuit board layout.  You will work collaboratively within a broader cross functional team of mechanical, manufacturing, & operations to execute leading edge products designs.  You will be the subject matter expert for the electrical performance of a product/platform beginning with the initial analysis through prototype fabrication & evaluation, and production verification testing.   You will tackle challenging design problems and utilize simulation tools to guide complex designs toward success.

Responsibilities:

Subject matter expert in high speed data, electronics design, simulation and validation activities through product development cycles
Establishing electrical design performance/functional requirements for new products
Product development of high-speed cables assemblies from conception to manufacturing
Component selection, schematic design, PCB Layout, and product validation testing
Creating actionable recommendations based upon design reviews and simulation results
Making data driven decisions about the product functionality and areas for improvement.

Required Skills/Experience:

Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Master’s degree preferred
Minimum of 10 years of work experience in a high-speed hardware engineering role
Electronic design and analysis tools (Altium PCB, ADS, Ansys Designer, Ansys HFSS)
Experience with cable/cable assembly designs (high speed twin-ax cables, direct attach copper (DAC) cables, active copper cables)
Experience with high speed test equipment (Digital Sampling Oscilloscope, Vector Network Analyzer, Bit Error Rate Tester, TDR, Pattern Generators, Power Supplies, etc.)
Experience with signal conditioning techniques (equalization, amplification, FIR’s, CTLE’s)
Experience with component selection, schematic capture, printed circuit board design, fabrication and assembly. 
A solid understanding of electromagnetic theory and electrical circuit behavior
Strong analytical capabilities to interpret simulation and lab data to identify issues and provide solutions to fix identified problem. 
Experience in project leadership, especially as it applies across design, development & manufacturing teams
Excellent verbal and written communication skills
Ability to work in a global environment – able to accommodate varying time zones, fluent in English (verbal/written), able to collaborate with individuals across geographies
Individual must be highly motivated, a quick learner, and able to work independently

 Nice to have Skills/Experience:

Familiarity with SFF/IEEE specifications for high speed cable assemblies
Familiarity with PAM4/8 and other higher order modulation techniques
Six Sigma methodologies or other strong data analytics background a PLUS

Competencies Values: Integrity, Accountability, Inclusion, Innovation, Teamwork
