Software Engineer, MPDE

At TE, you will unleash your potential working with people from diverse backgrounds and industries to create a safer, sustainable and more connected world.

Join TE Connectivity's innovative Passive Optics organization as a Software Engineer II and help develop the software platforms, automation systems, and data-driven solutions that enable the next generation of optical connectivity products powering AI and hyperscale computing infrastructure. You'll solve complex challenges at the intersection of software, automation, manufacturing, and photonics while creating tools that accelerate product development and scale advanced manufacturing operations.

Please note:

operations are currently based at a temporary site in Webster, NY. The team will transition to a permanent Rochester location (near RIT) upon completion.

As AI and cloud infrastructure continue driving unprecedented demand for optical interconnect solutions, sophisticated software systems have become essential to product development, manufacturing automation, data analysis, and quality assurance. You'll play a critical role in developing the applications, automation frameworks, and test platforms that enable TE to deliver industry-leading optical connectivity solutions at scale.
