SR R&D/PRODUCT DVL ENGINEER - Remote

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’s Data and Devices Advanced Development (ADT) team is seeking a Staff Product Development Engineer with experience in Signal Integrity (SI) analysis and design of high-speed, high-density interconnects.  As part of the ADT team, you would not only be responsible for design, simulation analysis, and verification/validation testing of advanced products, but you would also be involved in Research & Development (R&D) of new techniques, such as AI methods, to evaluate design sensitivity to manufacturing tolerances to optimize yield.  Importantly, you would also be expected to complete modeling and simulation exercises to understand potential new signaling schemes and architectures for extending aggregate bandwidth beyond even the 224G/448G systems of today.  These advanced exercises will require not only electrical modeling and channel simulation expertise but also optical channel simulation experience using co-simulation and IBIS-AMI models for optical components.

Within the ADT team, you will be expected to independently drive component/channel evaluations and complete other R&D activities.  Simultaneously, one will also be expected to collaborate within a cross-functional team of mechanical, thermal, and manufacturing engineers to develop highly novel and advanced new product portfolios.  As a Staff Engineer within the ADT team, you will collaborate with other subject matter experts for electrical and optical Signal Integrity.

Short Description

• Skilled in signal integrity design, simulation, and validation activities during advanced product development
• Establishing signal integrity design performance/functional requirements for advanced products
• Driving advanced product development
• Complete R&D activities for improving Signal Integrity analysis methods
• Complete R&D studies into new signals and system architectures for higher speeds and densities
• Complete electrical, optical, and electro-optical channel simulation studies
• Develop interconnect IP portfolio for future systems and products
• Engaging in innovative simulation and test tool improvement and process enhancement
• Driving best practices and efficiency in connector design and component qualifications from a signal integrity standpoint
• Being a contributing engineer across all development and manufacturing disciplines.  Writes and presents papers at internal and external conferences.

What your background should look like:

• Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering; Master’s degree recommended
• Minimum of 5-10 years of work experience in signal integrity engineering or related roles
• Experience with interconnect design or experience with connector &/or cable/cable assembly design (high-speed twinax cables, direct attach copper (DAC) cables), &/or RF antenna, RF sub-system
• Signal integrity analysis tools (Ansys Circuit Designer, Ansys HFSS, etc.)
• A solid understanding of electromagnetic theory and electrical circuit behavior
• Understanding of optical component models and co-simulation for electro-optical channel simulations 
• Strong analytical capabilities to interpret simulation and lab data to identify issues and provide solutions to fix identified problems.  SixSigma methodologies or other strong data analytics background a PLUS.
• Familiarity with printed circuit board design, fabrication, and assembly.  Proficient in Altium a PLUS.
• Experience in project leadership, especially as it applies to 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
• Direct customer design and support experience, and ability to travel as needed
• Ability to, and experience with, teaching and training peers in applying software tools and methodologies, and in the use of electrical test equipment, including VNA’s and TDR’s
• Highly motivated, a quick learner, and able to work independently
