Staff Product Engineer (Hybrid)- Applicators

Job Overview

TE’s Application Tooling team has an established history of innovation, from the invention of the first solderless crimp hand tool in 1941 through the recent launch of automated machines to process high voltage cable terminations for hybrid electric vehicles. Our flexible solutions range from hand tools for prototyping and low production needs up to state-of-the-art equipment that can produce millions of crimps a year.

The Application Tooling division is seeking an innovative Product Engineer to join our Applicator Engineering Team in Middletown, Pennsylvania. This position is considered hybrid. On-site work is required two days a week, but candidate may be expected to be on-site more than this as required by specific projects.

In this challenging and rewarding position, you will design, analyze, and optimize products within the applicator portfolio to meet customer objectives and the product management strategy. Using your engineering knowledge and design experience, you will solve problems, create solutions, and share information related to custom tools which satisfy demanding performance objectives and cost targets. You will work within a team of engineers and designers, and frequently collaborate with project managers, business managers, customers, field sales engineers, manufacturing teams and our internal model shop.

The ideal candidate will have strong leadership, problem solving and communication skills and a demonstrated passion for improvement. In addition, the ideal candidate will be a quick learner, with the ability to progress multiple projects simultaneously with minimal supervision.
