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

Role Description The Converged Products Reliability & Testing (R&T) Leader will lead a dedicated team of R&T engineers and will have responsibility for driving standardized Design for Reliability Engineering (DfRE) and Robustness Validation (RV) Methodologies for all High-Speed Cable Assembly Products in the DDN Portfolio. They will collaborate with customers, Product Development Engineering (PDE) teams, Manufacturing Process Development Engineering (MPDE) teams, Field Application Engineering (FAE) and Advanced Quality Engineering (AQE) to understand end application requirements and the associated mission profile. They will partner with the Global R&T COE to apply standardized methodologies and align on all Reliability Testing and Test & Validation plans for each assigned new product development program. They will identify unique product line test needs and testing requirements and work with the R&T COE to develop custom Test System & Software as required. They will co-develop Reliability Test Plans and Test & Validation Plans aligned with TE’s LeanPD stage gate approach for product development.

The R&T Leader will oversee integrating reliability considerations during technology and product evaluation, and NPI product development from receipt of Customer Spec to mass production. DfRE Experts in the Global R&T COE will help determine the appropriate test strategy using HALT/HAST techniques to evaluate product reliability. Based on data and collaboration with PDE teams, they will identify weak design/process features and work with PDE and AQE on corrective actions and improvement plans, engaging with material and component experts to evaluate improvements.

The R&T Leader will work with PDEs to produce and evaluate first samples to expedite speed to market, drive fast and iterative design improvements, drive Early Concept Testing, and collaborate with MPDE on Process Developments and Equipment Developments. They will develop comprehensive test plans to ensure capability to six sigma standards and drive Concurrent Engineering. They will support failure analysis and RCCA of line scrap and customer returns, as well as competitive benchmarking.

R&T Engineers and DfREs will leverage reliability approaches defined by Design for Six Sigma (DFSS), Toyota LPDS, and Robust Design principles, mastering reliability data sources, stress acceleration models, ALT and Test to Failure, and other reliability tools to drive data-driven decisions to ensure product reliability and robustness.
