• Represent engineering in customer meetings, project meetings and site visits, providing technical support and insights for sustaining tasks as needed.
• Support the sustaining product life cycle (Design updates, Creation of product specifications, 3D/2D modeling, Prototyping, Product testing, Product qualification, Product Network data (Planet format, vex and etc.) Project Execution, PCN & Sustaining till product end of life)
• Work closely with PM and other cross functions in getting the right and clear requirements to make engineering evaluation/proposal to update the design.
• Follow sustaining Project Process to support project team from PDE perspective to complete Project on time, quality and budget.
• Technical support for customers, sales, PM and plant team. Define & coordinate with test lab for necessary qualification testing, engineering analysis, trouble shooting and verification.
• Apply engineering is the best practice to reduce costs and sustain exiting products to meet customers' cost targets.
• Execute corrective and preventive measures. This involves applying both immediate and enduring solutions to tackle recognized problems and avert their reoccurrence.
• Product data package and datasheet update release as per TE standards and procedures through ECR/ECN/PCN processes.
• Ensure the upkeep of technical documentation, which encompasses test procedures, failure reports, and validation data.
• Collaborating with design engineering teams to influence DFM practices for future products and integrate DFM input into redesigns for improved yield and quality.

PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE AND EDUCATIONAL BACKGROUND

• Bachelor's degree in Electric, electronic and telecommunication, or a related Engineering discipline; advanced degree preferred.
• 8+ years working experience as new product development or sustaining engineering related positions including 3+ years of working experience on product development of Antenna, RF related, COAX cable and connector.
• Strong foundation in RF engineering principles with proven application in product development or Sustaining
• Familiar with Antenna product is favorable and the test and validation requirement
• This position is highly technical and requires an individual who can work independently.
• Understanding product compliance certification and qualification testing.
• Experience in design for manufacturing and assembly (DFMA), design for cost (DFC), design for manufacturing (DFM)
• Demonstrated problem-solving and root cause analysis.
• Proven expertise in sustaining engineering and product lifecycle support, including design enhancements, prototyping, testing, and cost/productivity improvements (VAVE).
• Understanding of product lifecycle management (PLM) and new product development (NPD) processes.
• Hands-on experience and simulation tools.
• Knowledge of manufacturing processes such as machining, molding, stamping, and plating.
• Basic understanding of quality tools and methodologies such as FMEA, Six Sigma, DOE, 8D, etc.

COMPETENCIES

• Application Engineering: Ability to understand legacy product requirements & offer technical solutions or necessary test verification of the product.
• Engineering management across cross functional teams: Developing sustaining efficient workflow to align with market legacy product change direction & communicating it across business units, management & customers to share applicable technology
• Teamwork: Working together with global PDEs and other cross functional teams.
• Quick learning capability: Acquire the necessary skill set, assuring succession & phase in the organization, procedure and culture.
