Position: Senior Product Development Engineer - High Speed Backplane products

Locations: MA,PA,Il, CA

Develop high-speed cable for Mobile Networks, Storage, Servers, Routers, and Switches. Our products help to enable the electronics revolution and remain a key enabler for all the major Tier 1 OEMs

Overview

We are seeking an experienced engineer to join the development of High Speed Backplane Products. Direct the mechanical design leads of next-generation high-speed connector products. This role also requires significant interaction with internal manufacturing sites, external vendors, and other engineering disciplines within the organization.

Product Development Engineering is responsible for the actual product design, but also for the enabling technologies (materials, manufacturing processes) that enable the final product to be realized. The responsibilities cover everything from true R&D work to securing patents (IP) to preparing a final product for high-volume manufacturing and maximum profitability.

High-speed backplane interconnects enable most of the world's IT and datacom, and require some of the most advanced manufacturing technologies and the highest levels of precision in the engineering world.

Responsibilities

• Understand the evolving industry needs and resultant requirements of our products.
• Significant participation in automation design, working directly with the NPI and Machine Design (automation) teams to ensure the product design can be built in high volume, efficiently, and with the highest of quality.
• Work directly with the Signal Integrity (EE) team to ensure the mechanical design supports the electrical performance requirements of the product.
• Work directly with the Mechanical Integrity team to ensure the mechanical design provides for a high reliability (quality) over the life of the product. Including meeting all applicable industry and internal specifications.
• Conduct and understand tolerance loop analyses.
• Develop initial product specifications and technical documentation.
• Interface directly with customers during multiple phases of a project, and aid in the sales process.

Qualifications

• Degree in Engineering (mechanical focused) preferred, or MS/BS in Mechanical Engineering with significant experience in the electronics industry
• Minimum of 10+ years of industry experience in design
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills
• Highly capable with solid modeling/CAE/CAD tools (Creo, Solidworks, etc.)
• Familiarity with patent (intellectual property) law, and the patent application process
