Job Description Job Title: RELIABILITY & TESTING MANAGER (High-Speed Products) Posting Start Date: 6/24/26 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 High-Speed Cable Assembly 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. He/she and their team will work extremely closely with customers, Product Development Engineering (PDE) teams, Manufacturing Process Development Engineering (MPDE) teams, Field Application Engineering (FAE) and Advanced Quality Engineering (AQE) to deeply understand the end application requirements and the associated “mission profile”. They will partner with the Global R&T COE to drive the application of standardized methodologies and alignment on all Reliability Testing and Test & Validation plans for each of the assigned new product development programs. 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 to support the unique testing requirements for each product line. In addition, he/she will also partner with the Global R&T COE to co-develop Reliability Test Plans and Test & Validation Plans aligned with TE’s LeanPD stage gate approach for product development. Key Responsibilities: • Primary responsibility for developing and driving standardized Design for Reliability Engineering (DfRE) and Robustness Validation (RV) Methodologies for all High-Speed Cable Assembly Products. • Drive a DFSS culture, one of innovation, constant learning, and continuous improvement that aspires to deliver "First Time Right"; provide product development and DFSS training, coaching, and mentoring to product design teams to create a world class product development organization. • Drive excellence in Design for Reliability ensuring comprehensive utilization of modeling and simulation, structured DOE approaches, robust product validation including HALT/HAST and Test to Failure (TTF) methodologies. Oversee integrating reliability considerations during technology & product evaluation, NPI product development from receipt of Customer Spec (Mission Profile) through Product Release into mass production; will have T&V Plan + Reliability Test Plan Finalization Authority for High-Speed Cable Assembly Products. • Partner with PDE’s to quickly produce and evaluate first samples to expedite speed to market and drive fast and iterative product design improvements; drive Early Concept Testing identifying potential weaknesses and failure mechanisms in the product design and validating all improvements through testing and capability analysis. • Work very closely with MPDE about Process Developments and Equipment Developments, developing comprehensive test plans to ensure capability to six sigma standards and driving world-class Simultaneous Engineering (Concurrent Engineering). • Design and develop detailed Test & Validation (T&V) plans for Early Validation Testing (EVT), Design Validation Testing (DVT) and Process Validation Testing (PVT), ensuring products are validated to meet customer requirements and TE requirements in accordance with all applicable industry standards. What your background should look like -Bachelor/ Master’s degree in technical discipline (Electrical Engineering, Electronics, Mechatronics) -10+ years of Experience a high-speed hardware engineering role serving telecommunications market or data center applications. -Must also have many years of experience working with test equipment, test systems, test labs, development and deployment of HALT/HAST testing, Test & Validation Plans, development of custom test systems and performing “application tests.” Must have a good balance between theory and practice. -Experience interacting with global cross-functional engineering teams in multi-site global organization. -Experience with high speed test equipment (Digital Sampling Oscilloscope, Vector Network Analyzer, Bit Error Rate Tester, TDR, Pattern Generators, Power Supplies, etc.) -In depth familiarity with IEEE 802.3: The cornerstone for Ethernet networking. Recent iterations (e.g., 802.3ck) define standards for 100 Gb/s, 200 Gb/s, and 400 Gb/s operation over copper and fiber, as well as Next-Gen (800G/1.6T) data center requirements. -Expertise with electronic assembly product development and validation of hardware and software. -Knowledge on FIT estimation methodology, statistical analysis for reliability calculation such as Weibull-analysis or 2-statistics, application of Bayes theorem, random failure principle, FMEDA, FTA -Reliability Engineering training from company, ASQ, TUV, Reliasoft or equivalent -US Visa available.
