Job Overview

TE Connectivity's Manufacturing Engineering Teams are process leaders for stamping, molding or assembly related topics, ensuring the processes are running at optimum levels for quality and output. They are experts in mold tooling, die tooling, machining, and assembly techniques, possessing extensive knowledge of the associated manufacturing processes which may include the optimization and standardization of stamping / molding / assembly or other processes within the manufacturing environment. Manufacturing Engineering Teams enable the TE business unit plants to reach TE Operating Advantage (TEOA) requirements, roll out Centers of Excellence (COE), Best Demonstrated Practices (BDP’s) and advise plants on tool and machine duplications / corrections / improvements. They design and develop manufacturing process and automation platforms and apply them for the realization of new product developments as well as optimization of existing products already in production. The Teams also support Product Development in the selection and optimization of tools for piece part production and the selection of the most suitable manufacturing concepts relative to planned manufacturing quantities, quality requirements and manufacturing location. They act as interface between engineering and production to ensure manufacturability of new designs and smooth production ramp up as well as support the research & development teams to produce sample manufacturing equipment, product samples and prototypes.

Our Kauffman Road plant in Landisville, PA is currently recruiting for a manufacturing engineer. The focus of this position will be to support brazing, heat treatment and metal forming operations used to manufacture electrical terminals and connectors. Another key responsibility for this position is to identify and implement automation and continuous improvement opportunities in the manufacturing operations previously described. This is a project oriented position and will involve leading various cross-functional teams concentrating on improving process efficiencies. Although not immediately required, the position will require a firm understanding of the leans tools associated with the Tyco Electronics Operating Advantage (TEOA). Excellent communication and organizational skills will be key given the position requires the ability to handle multiple jobs simultaneously and interact with production personnel, site management team, and external suppliers.
