Manufacturing Integration Engineer

Molex creates connections for life by enabling technologies that transform the future and improve lives.

With a presence in more than 40 countries, Molex offers a complete range of connectivity products, services and solutions for the data communications, medical, industrial, automotive and consumer electronics industries.

Our Datacom and Specialty Solutions team designs an extensive product line serving customers in telecommunications, datacom, hyperscalers, data center and storage applications.

The key responsibility of the Manufacturing Integration Engineer (MIE) will be developing a manufacturing strategy for new products to meet customers production and delivery requirements.

This person will be working with initial requirements to design how this product will be manufactured with manual and/or automation production lines.

The Manufacturing Integration Engineer will need to consider cost, volume and manufacturability to accomplish volume product design on our manufacturing lines.

This person will lead a focused team consisting of product and signal integrity engineers, all tooling Product Engineers and plant manufacturing engineering functions to support product development process ensuring robust product design and manufacturability in low and high volumes.

As products move to manufacturing, the MIE will work with the plant manufacturing engineers to debug new products and processes to validate product performance delivery and quality.

What You Will Do



* Develop manufacturing strategies for new products and drive the tooling development process to meet customer's expectations of quality and optimal cost and lead-time.


* Provide estimated costing (bill of materials, labor, capital tooling) of products in early stages of new product development process.

Finalize costing quotes working alongside manufacturing plant once product design is finalized.


* Partner with product development, marketing, finance and senior management on analysis of multiple scenarios to arrive at optimal solution.


* Identify limitations of the proposed design and suggest improvements to meet DFM and inspection guidelines to successfully launch new products.


* Identify and lead any proof-of-concept work required in early design stage to verify use of new technology or concepts in product or process design to reduce risk and improve profitability.


* Provide feedback on process critical dimensions and product features.


* Execute manufacturing strategies to support all phases of product development process (prototype through high volume production).


* Work with Die, Mold and Automation Process Engineers in selecting and managing internal and external suppliers to ensure successful project completion through concept, design, build, debug and qualification.


* Working with respective tooling engineers to ensure successful transfer of all tooling processes and equipment to NPI and manufacturing plants.
