Te connectivity's manufacturing and process development engineering teams significantly impact leanpd driven new product development projects, driving for excellence in existing manufacturing technologies and methods and striving to implement new manufacturing technologies to provide improved process and tolerance control.
they act as the binding element between product development and manufacturing engineering, ensuring the effectiveness and efficiency of this critical interface.
they support product development in the optimization of designs and piece parts for manufacturability by realizing sample tooling/products/prototypes.
they also design, develop, and qualify tooling and processes to meet te quality and production standards, document all processes and tooling in applicable te systems, support supply chain to verify supplier compliance and capability, initiate and implement programs to continuously improve quality, cost and cycle time and adhere to all appropriate specifications, regulatory requirements and customer requirements.
