Project Engineer - Product Component Development

Amphenol Communications Solutions (ACS), a division of Amphenol Corporation, is a world leader in interconnect solutions for Communications, Mobile, RF, Optics, and Commercial electronics markets. Amphenol Corporation is one of the world’s largest designers and manufacturers of electrical, electronic and fiber optic connectors and interconnect systems, antennas, sensors and sensor-based products and coaxial and high-speed specialty cable. ACS has an expansive global presence in research and development, manufacturing, and sales.

We design and manufacture a wide range of innovative connectors as well as cable assemblies for diverse applications including server, storage, data center, mobile, RF, networking, industrial, business equipment, and automotive.

We are seeking a highly motivated Project Engineer to coordinate mechanical component development activities across multiple projects within the department. The primary focus of this role is to organize and drive engineering execution by maintaining schedules, coordinating technical reviews, tracking deliverables, managing action items, and ensuring alignment among engineering teams, suppliers, manufacturing sites, program management, and other stakeholders.

The successful candidate will have a mechanical engineering or equivalent background and the technical aptitude necessary to understand component designs, manufacturing processes, drawings, test results, and engineering risks. As the individual develops greater product and process knowledge, the role will expand to include selected hands‑on engineering assignments under the guidance of experienced engineers.

• Coordinate engineering activities across multiple mechanical component development projects from initial concept through production release.
• Develop and maintain project schedules, milestone plans, action‑item trackers, risk registers, and other project‑management tools.
• Coordinate priorities, responsibilities, dependencies, and deliverables across engineering team members and supporting functions.
• Facilitate design reviews, DFM reviews, FEA reviews, tolerance reviews, tooling reviews, and product‑validation activities.
• Document meeting outcomes, technical decisions, open issues, responsible owners, and required completion dates.
• Follow up with stakeholders to drive timely closure of engineering actions and elevate schedule, resource, or technical risks when necessary.
• Coordinate the development, review, and release of 3D models, 2D drawings, bills of material, specifications, validation plans, and engineering‑change documentation.
• Support communication and collaboration among internal engineering teams, program management, operations, quality, customers, global manufacturing sites, and external suppliers.
• Coordinate supplier activities related to DFM, quotations, tooling development, prototype and sample builds, inspection results, qualification, and production readiness.
• Support NPI and mass‑production milestones to ensure an effective transition from product development into volume manufacturing.
• Coordinate engineering support for components manufactured through sheet‑metal fabrication, CNC machining, metal injection molding, die casting, injection molding, stamping, and related processes.
• Track prototype builds, engineering samples, test plans, qualification activities, and corrective actions.
• Consolidate technical information and prepare clear project‑status reports, presentations, schedules, and leadership updates.
• Identify potential project risks and work with engineering owners and cross‑functional stakeholders to establish mitigation and recovery plans.
• Maintain accurate…
