Work closely with the customer and the DDN System Architecture and Sales/FAE teams in getting the right and clear VOC (voice of customer) to convert to a TE design conceptualization and preliminary product specification.
-
Conceive concepts and perform feasibility studies.
-
Run mechanical and thermal simulations.
-
Work closely with Signal Integrity team to validate high speed designs.
-
Make the engineering evaluation/proposal to the customer.
-
Create the detailed design including 2D/3D drawings and perform DFMEA/tolerance analysis
-
Build prototype samples and perform validation, may be functional or non-functional.
-
Assist project transfer to responsible product development team(s)
-
Build a deep understanding of the market and customer needs by fostering a connection between the business engineering teams and the customer engineering teams.
-
Maintain a system level understanding of the customer application and the product design/concept necessary for providing a solution to the customers' expectation.
-
Follow the LEANPD Project Process to support the project team from the Advanced Solution Team (AST) perspective to complete the new product development project on time, quality and budget.
-
Provide technical support to customer, sales, PM and plant teams. Conduct necessary DFMEA, tests, engineering analysis, trouble shooting and verification.
