What You Will Do

* Lead automotive high speed SI connector and terminal concept development activities with minimal guidance from Engineering Manager.

* Serve as the Subject Matter Expert in high-speed SI automotive connector development - in depth fundamental understanding of high-speed digital design principles and radio frequency interference (RFI)

* Provide direction & guidance on simulation correlation with physical test data, design of experiments (DOE), sensitivity study of design/manufacturing parameters involved in high-speed design.

* Provide technical guidance to simulation engineers on simulation tasks & interpreting results on high-speed interfaces like ethernet & coaxial. Provides training & mentorship to peers.

* Collaborate with engineers to identify & mitigate SI issues in the early stages of product development.

* Plan and lead DFMEAs, simulations, tolerance analysis, and other theoretical studies. Develop mitigation plans for areas of risk.

* Develop & document design rules and guidelines to meet SI requirements for new product development & existing product modification.

* Manage material selection and justification, focusing on resins for plastic injection molding and metals for stamping components.

* Develop connector test plans (DVP&Rs) and evaluate results using statistical methods. Lead failure analysis using structured problem-solving methods.

* Act as the engineering voice to cross-functional teams and customers, ensuring design objectives are met and identifying / directing R&D opportunities.

Who You Are (Basic Qualifications)

* Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, or a related field.

* 5 years of product design experience with depth of knowledge in material, signal integrity & EMC, manufacturing processes, & engineering processes/tools.

* 3 years of experience developing high speed products.

* Experience in managing multiple projects simultaneously.

What Will Put You Ahead

* Experience with DFMEA, Simulation tools (HFSS, CST), design for manufacturing, tolerance/variation analysis and other theoretical studies.

* Proven ability to manage project scopes, requirements, and engineering work plans.

* Experience in developing test plans (DVP&Rs) and analyzing test results using statistical methods.

* Demonstrated ability to follow structured problem-solving methods (8D, 5 Why, Fishbone, etc) to root cause issues.

* Capability to identify and contribute to R&D opportunities in the high speed connector space.

* Experience with correlating simulation models to physical test data & interpretation of simulation/test results to meet performance requirements.

* Develop advanced simulation methods to improve predictive models & analysis.

* Familiarity with in-vehicle architecture, current & upcoming trends and familiarity with high speed specifications (e.g. USCAR, Open Alliance, IEEE, etc.), intent of test methods and experience with performing physical testing.
