Principal Interconnect Development Engineer Job at Hewlett Packard Enterprise

Job Description

Individual contributor role responsible for high-speed interconnect solutions for next-generation network switches and routers, requiring dense, state-of-the-art frequency performance and quality. Includes both connectors and cables.

Job Responsibility

Works as the key development engineer positioned between hardware design engineering and interconnect suppliers, managing and influencing interconnect technology roadmaps
Works on interconnect technologies that are ‘pre-NPI’ or ‘pre-product’, to validate that future interconnect technologies are viable for system level designs that may be 2-5 years away from realization
Provides technical consultation support for interconnect component engineering, for NPI launch and interconnect activities
Responsible for development and execution of key interconnect technology validation plans, including the design and implementation of test vehicles to validate mechanical and signal integrity (SI) elements
Works with Interconnect suppliers and hardware engineering on key co-development projects, and design-related problem solving
Able to influence both internal and external stakeholders to drive design-related changes as needed
Able to impact suppliers, both technically as well as commercially
Provide persuasive understanding of trade-offs between mechanical design, SI, FMEA, failure analysis (electrical, physical, analytical, schematic), DOE and simulation versus reality/measurements

Requirements

Demonstrated industry expertise: industry consortium participation and leadership, patents, published technical papers, and conference presentations
Lead and influence stakeholders in the Interconnect industry
Cross-functional expertise with hardware engineering, mechanical engineering, PCB, electrical (ex: SI), thermal engineering, program management, commodity (commercial) management and mechanical (stamping, molding), as well as other interconnect-adjacent technologies
Be current with industry trends and able to provide a compelling and attainable vision for five years out
Sophisticated knowledge of variation statistics and process control as relates to sound design and manufacturability of new connectors, including measures for successful first-pass design-in into native and partner NPI environments
Expert familiarity with industry standards for qualification and reliability
Presentation skills, communication skills, influencing skills
Deep industry experience (15 years), including 10 years of hands-on proficiency with high-speed, complex interconnect (≥56 GHz, ≥100 differential pairs) hardware and successful field deployment
Experience must include both connectors AND high-speed cables, as well as interconnect materials and mechanical/electrical trade-offs
3D CAD modeling experience and geometric tolerance analysis abilities. Ex: tools = SolidWorks, ProE or other equivalent tools
BS, MS or PhD in Mechanical Engineering or equivalent
