Reliability & Testing Man... 40k-55k

BUSINESS UNIT DESCRIPTION
As a member of the Digital Data Networks (DDN) business in TE Connectivity you will play a key role in
the design of products for high-speed products in the connector, cable assembly, and/or radio system
industry—targeting high-speed communications and connectivity within datacenters and wireless
infrastructure.
ROLE DESCRIPTION
The Power Products Reliability & Testing (R&T) Leader will lead a dedicated team of R&T engineers and will have responsibility for driving standardized Design for Reliability Engineering (DfRE) and Robustness
Validation (RV) Methodologies for all Power Products in the DDN Portfolio. He/she and their team will work extremely closely with customers, Product Development Engineering (PDE) teams, Manufacturing Process Development Engineering (MPDE) teams, Field Application Engineering (FAE) and Advanced Quality Engineering (AQE) to deeply understand the end application requirements and the associated “mission profile”. They will partner with the Global R&T COE to drive the application of standardized methodologies and alignment on all Reliability Testing and Test & Validation plans for each of the assigned new product development programs. They will identify unique product line test needs and application testing requirements and work with the R&T COE to develop custom Test System & Software as required to support the unique testing requirements for each product line. In addition, he/she will also partner with the Global R&T COE to co-develop Reliability Test Plans and Test & Validation Plans aligned with TE’s LeanPD stage gate approach for product development.
The Power Products Reliability & Testing (R&T) Leader will oversee integrating reliability considerations
during technology & product evaluation, NPI product development from receipt of Customer Spec
(“mission profile”) through Product Release into mass production. DfRE Experts in the Global R&T COE
will help determine the appropriate test strategy to collect data using destructive Highly Accelerated Life
Test (HALT) or Highly Accelerated Stress Tests (HAST) techniques to evaluate product reliability. Based on
collected data and in close collaboration with PDE teams, they will identify weak design/process features
or components and work closely with PDE and AQE on the development of corrective actions and
improvement plans, engaging with material and component experts to evaluate improvements of the corrective actions by technics such a stress/accelerated screening.
The Power Products Reliability & Testing (R&T) Leader will be instrumental partnering with PDE’s to quickly produce and evaluate 1st samples to expedite speed to market and drive fast and iterative
product design improvements. They will drive Early Concept Testing identifying potential weaknesses and failure mechanisms in the product design. They will also work very closely with MPDE about Process
Developments and Equipment Developments, developing comprehensive test plans to ensure capability to six sigma standards and driving world-class Simultaneous Engineering (Concurrent Engineering). They will also support failure analysis (F/A) and Root Cause and Corrective Action (RCCA) of line scrap and
customer returns as well as competitive benchmarking activities.
R&T Engineers and DfREs will leverage a reliability approach as defined in structured development approach such as Design for Six Sigma (DFSS), Toyota inspired LPDS methodologies and Robust Design
principles, and will master reliability data sources, stress acceleration models, ALT and Test to Failure analysis and other reliability tools in order to drive data and capability based decisions to ensure the
reliability and robustness of DDN products meet and/or exceed customer expectations.
