TE Connectivity
At TE, you will unleash your potential working with people from diverse backgrounds and industries to create a safer, sustainable and more connected world.
Overview BUSINESS UNIT DESCRIPTION
As a member of the Digital Data Networks (DDN) business in TE Connectivity you will play a key role in the design of products for high-speed products in the connector, cable assembly, and/or radio system industry—targeting high-speed communications and connectivity within datacenters and wireless infrastructure.
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 partner 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 align with the Global R&T COE to drive standardized methodologies and alignment on all Reliability Testing and Test & Validation plans for each assigned new product development program. They will identify unique product line test needs and application 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 Converged Products Reliability & Testing (R&T) Leader will oversee integrating reliability considerations during technology & product evaluation, NPI product development from receipt of Customer Spec (“mission profile”) through Product Release into mass production. DfRE Experts in the Global R&T COE will help determine the appropriate test strategy to collect data using destructive HALT or HAST techniques to evaluate product reliability. Based on collected data and in collaboration with PDE teams, they will identify weak design/process features or components and work with PDE and AQE on corrective actions and improvement plans, engaging with material and component experts to evaluate improvements of the corrective actions by techniques such as stress/accelerated screening. They will drive Early Concept Testing to identify potential weaknesses and failure mechanisms and work with MPDE on Process Developments and Equipment Developments, developing comprehensive test plans to ensure capability to six sigma standards and drive Simultaneous Engineering. They will support failure analysis (F/A) and Root Cause and Corrective Action (RCCA) of line scrap and customer returns and engage in competitive benchmarking activities.
R&T Engineers and DfREs will leverage a reliability approach defined in structured development approaches such as Design for Six Sigma (DFSS), Toyota-inspired LPDS methodologies and Robust Design principles, mastering reliability data sources, stress acceleration models, ALT and Test to Failure analysis and other reliability tools to drive data-driven decisions to ensure reliability and robustness of DDN products meet and/or exceed customer expectations.

Data Analysis & Calculations:
Perform FIT estimations using industry standards and calculate final values from test data
Analyze test data using statistical methods and reliability calculations (MTTF, Weibull analysis)
Provide guidance on sample sizes and test duration requirements
Use data acquisition systems and analysis tools effectively
Process Management:
Lead CAPA processes for reliability issues
Develop and implement risk mitigation plans for identified failure modes
Create and maintain a centralized database of test plans, models, and field data for project reuse
Drive reliability planning for various environmental and use conditions
Communication & Leadership:
Present reliability status and risks to executive leadership to influence design decisions
Communicate with customer reliability experts and report analysis results
Participate in design reviews and lead reliability sections
Champion reliability culture across cross-functional teams with a metrics-driven approach
Use accelerated testing to explore design margins and enable rapid concept selection
Qualifications YOU MUST HAVE
Bachelor's/Master's in Electrical Engineering, Electronics, or Mechatronics
10+ years reliability engineering experience with electronic/mechatronics products
