TE Connectivity Corporation
SR MFG & PROCESS DVL ENGINEER
TE Connectivity Corporation, Middletown, Ohio, United States, 45043
Job Title: SR MFG & PROCESS DVL ENGINEER
At TE, you will unleash your potential working with people from diverse backgrounds and industries to create a safer, sustainable and more connected world.
Job Description: Job Overview The Senior Manufacturing Process & Development Engineer will serve as the technical lead for establishing, maturing, and scaling DDN’s new in-house laser machining capability within the Advanced Manufacturing Process (AMP) organization. This role will drive advanced process development for high-precision laser machining of metals, polymers, ceramics, composites and thin films with an emphasis on micro-features, tight tolerances, and rapid prototyping solutions.
Key Responsibilities Laser Machining Capability Development
Lead all technical activities related to standing up and maturing TE’s in-house laser machining capability.
Develop, validate, and optimize processes for cutting, drilling, ablation, trimming, and surface texturing of advanced materials with micro-scale features.
Own the laser system parameters, recipes, alignment methods, fixturing concepts, and metrology strategy.
Establish process windows, capability baselines (Cp/Cpk), and best-practice work instructions for repeatable, reliable machining performance.
Strong understanding of laser physics and optics (beam alignment, focusing, pulse/waveform control, material interaction, etc.).
Program and set up laser systems; adjust laser parameters (power, pulse, beam alignment/spot size, focus, wavelength as relevant) for different materials and process goals.
Process Engineering
Partner with AMP subject-matter experts to design, execute, and analyze DOE studies related to laser processing of metals, polymers, laminates, and specialty materials.
Provide hands‑on support in running trials, characterizing results, and translating findings into actionable recommendations.
Develop structured documentation for all experimental runs including parameter sets, material behavior observations, tool wear, debris management, and post‑process quality.
Proficiency in laser system programming and setup; familiarity with CAD/CAM or other tooling software.
Collaboration & Cross‑Functional Leadership
Work closely with the laser lab technician to ensure daily alignment, workload balancing, and equipment uptime.
Partner with Advanced Development Team (ADT), Advanced Solutions Team (AST), and Product Engineering on customer‑driven R&D projects and long‑range capability roadmaps.
Provide technical guidance and training to peers and technicians in laser machining fundamentals, equipment operation, and safe practices.
Collaborate with cross‑functional teams (mechanical, electrical, metrology/quality, design, R&D) to integrate laser processes into the broader manufacturing workflow — including tooling, part design, automation, and post‑processing steps.
Innovation & Continuous Improvement
Apply deep knowledge of laser technologies (IR, femtosecond) and micromachining processes in the development of advanced manufacturing systems for precision applications.
Acts as a technical liaison between product development, process engineering, and advanced manufacturing to ensure seamless integration of automation and laser technologies into production systems.
Provide training and mentorship to other professional employees.
Work independently with wide latitude to define project objectives and technical approaches, making key contributions to business unit strategies and goals.
What your background should look like
Minimum 5 years of relevant industry experience required.
Bachelor’s Degree (Mechanical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering Technology, Materials Science, Optics/Photonics, Physics or related discipline) preferred; equivalent experience considered (15+ years in relevant roles).
Hands‑on experience with a variety of machining methods preferred, including CNC milling, wire EDM, and manual milling operations preferred.
Familiarity with manufacturing environments involving Stamping, Plating, Assembly and Molding (SPAM) technologies for precision components is a plus.
Demonstrated ability to lead cross‑functional projects, influence without authority, and deliver measurable outcomes in a manufacturing environment.
Proficiency in CAD modeling software, including Creo, SpaceClaim, SolidWorks, and other general 3D design tools.
Willingness to travel up to 25% average.
