ROLE DESCRIPTION The High-Speed Cable Assembly Reliability & Testing (R&T;) Leader will lead a dedicated team of R&T; engineers and will have responsibility for driving standardized Design for Reliability Engineering (DfRE) and Robustness Validation (RV) Methodologies for all High-Speed Cable Assembly Products in the DDN Portfolio. He/she and their team will work extremely closely with customers, Product Development Engineering (PDE) teams, Manufacturing Process Development Engineering (MPDE) teams, Field Application Engineering (FAE) and Advanced Quality Engineering (AQE) to deeply understand the end application requirements and the associated “mission profile”. They will partner with the Integral R&T; COE to drive the application of standardized methodologies and alignment on all Reliability Testing and Test & Validation plans for each of the assigned new product development programs.

They will identify unique product line test needs and application testing requirements and work with the R&T; COE to develop custom Test System & Software as required to support the unique testing requirements for each product line.

In addition, he/she will also partner with the Global R&T; COE to co-develop Reliability Test Plans and Test & Validation Plans aligned with TE’s LeanPD stage gate approach for product development. The High-Speed Cable Assembly Reliability & Testing (R&T;) Leader will oversee integrating reliability considerations during technology & product evaluation, NPI product development from receipt of Customer Spec (“mission profile”) through Product Release into mass production.



DfRE Experts in the General R&T; COE will help determine the appropriate test strategy to collect data using destructive Highly Accelerated Life Test (HALT) or Highly Accelerated Stress Tests (HAST) techniques to evaluate product reliability.

Based on collected data and in close collaboration with PDE teams, they will identify weak design/process features or components and work closely with PDE and AQE on the development of corrective actions and improvement plans, engaging with material and component experts to evaluate improvements of the corrective actions by technics such a stress/accelerated screening.

R&T; Engineers and DfREs will leverage a reliability approach as defined in structured development approach such as Design for Six Sigma (DFSS), Toyota inspired LPDS methodologies and Robust Design principles, and will master reliability data sources, stress acceleration models, ALT and Test to Failure analysis and other reliability tools in order to drive data and capability based decisions to ensure the reliability and robustness of DDN products meet and/or exceed customer expectations.
