Project Engineer - High-Current Terminal

Your Job

We are expanding our in-house Engineering team and are on the lookout for a skilled High-Current Terminal and Cavity Design Engineer to join us.

If you're eager to fast-track your career and become a part of an exceptional company, this opportunity might be perfect for you.

As a High-Current Terminal and Cavity Design Engineer, you will spearhead the development of new terminal and connector products for the automotive industry, guiding them through all stages of the product development lifecycle to transition concepts into production.

Additionally, you will assist with modifications and extension work for existing products and contribute to research and development initiatives within the High-Current automotive sector.

What You Will Do



* Lead automotive High-Current terminal and cavity concept development activities with minimal guidance from the Engineering Manager.


* Collaborate with design engineers to develop 3D models and drawings that adhere to Molex standards and GD&T methodology.


* Plan and lead DFMEAs, FEAs, tolerance analysis, and other theoretical studies.

Develop mitigation plans for areas of risk.


* Direct documentation of the project scope, requirements, feasibility, and engineering work plan.


* Manage material selection and justification, focusing on resins for plastic injection molding and metals for stamping components.


* Develop High-Current Terminal/cavity test plans (DVP&Rs) and evaluate results using statistical methods.

Lead failure analysis using structured problem-solving methods.


* Act as the engineering voice to cross-functional teams and customers, ensuring design objectives are met and identifying/directing R&D opportunities in High-Current connectors.

Who You Are (Basic Qualifications)


* Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or a related field


* 5 years of product design experience with a depth of knowledge in material, mechanics, manufacturing processes, & engineering processes/tools.


* Experience in designing Terminal & cavities for high-power (>100A) connectors.


* Knowledge with metal selection for mechanical and electrical applications, including knowledge of material properties (e.g., conductivity, Stress relaxation, strength).


* Solid understanding of plating options (e.g., tin, nickel, silver, gold) and their impact on product performance, manufacturability, and durability.


* Demonstrated ability to follow structured problem-solving methods (8D, 5 Why, Fishbone, etc.) to root cause issues.


* Experience in managing multiple projects simultaneously.

What Puts You Ahead


* Experience in designing Terminal, cavities and connectors for high-power and low power automotive applications.


* Knowledge of resins, engineering tools and processes, and manufacturing processes (injection molding, stamping, plating, assembly).


* Experience with DFMEA, FEA, Tolerance Analysis, GD&T, and other the...
