SR MFG & PROCESS DVL ENGINEER - Molding

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 Overview TE’s Industrial and Commercial Transportation Solutions’ Molding Mfg and Process Development Engineers are responsible for developing and industrializing ­ molding tools for new and existing products. You will work closely with Core Project Teams inclusive of product development engineers, quality engineers, and project managers to Develop and launch new injection molds. Job Requirements Mold and Process Development DFx – Work with product engineers and customers on refining the plastic part design to achieve or improve manufacturability. Estimate tooling cost, manufacturability cost drivers (cycle time, cavitation, scrap, material usage) for molding processes for existing and new products. Create ramp up scenarios to optimize CAPEX, Utilization with demand. Create technical mold specifications for prototypes and production molds. Utilize engineering tools such as Moldflow to optimize gate location, melt delivery system, and TIPM to compensate for warpage and shrinkage effects. Work with external tooling vendors to develop, build and qualify new molds. Analyze & interpret CT Scan data of molded parts using Volume Graphics software.  Disposition and prepare conditioning plans & direct mold suppliers to correct nonconforming dimensions on new molds until they meet product drawing and PV test requirements. Work with vendors to develop and optimize the molding process parameters on new molds using SIM principles and cavity pressure transducer technology. Lead mold design reviews, run at rate, capability analysis, MSAs (Measurement Systems Analysis), correlation studies, DOEs to qualify equipment at supplier and at manufacturing facility. Work with other engineering disciplines on the launch team to ensure all product requirements are met all the way through to the final sellable part or assembly. Work with Quality Engineering to develop the Process Flow, PFMEA, and Control Plans. Work closely with COE to improve and document Successfully Demonstrated Practices Utilize Model Based Definition process for product and tooling development, working closely with Product and Mold Engineers to develop and maintain accurate information in digital format for entire product lifecycle. Partner with Global Tooling Manager to develop future concepts, processes, and platforms that are flexible, scalable, and digital with focus on lower capital, higher utilization rates, and faster time to market with a target of First Time Right. Manage multiple projects with multiple molds projects while balancing quality, cost, timing, and technical risk. Track project milestones, technical risks, capital spending, supplier deliverables, and recovery plans, and communicate to cross functional teams and leadership.
