Senior Mechanical Design Engineer

Job Responsibilities 

• Participate in the development of automation equipment, assembly machines, tooling and inspection systems for connector manufacturing.

• Design reliable and cost-effective automation machines, ensuring functionality, manufacturability, maintainability, safety and compliance with production requirements.

• Develop high-speed terminal stitching and insertion equipment, including terminal feeding, carrier-strip handling, cutting, positioning, insertion-depth control and in-process detection.

• Perform mechanical design activities, including machine concept development, 3D modelling, engineering drawings, tolerance analysis, mechanism calculations, component selection and design risk assessment.

• Work closely with Product Design, Process Engineering, Electrical Controls, Manufacturing, Quality and suppliers to define equipment specifications and technical DFM requirements.

• Lead machine-development projects from concept, fabrication and assembly through debugging, qualification and production handover, ensuring cycle time, yield, capability, reliability, cost and timeline targets are achieved.

Requirement

• Diploma or Bachelor’s in Mechanical Engineering, Mechatronics, Manufacturing Engineering or a related discipline.

• Minimum 8 years of mechanical design or automation machine-development experience, with a strong understanding of machine-design principles.

• Experience in designing high-speed terminal stitching, gang insertion or connector assembly equipment is strongly preferred.

• Experience in the connector, electronics, semiconductor or other high-precision manufacturing industry is desirable. Senior/Staff positions require strong technical leadership and complete machine-development life-cycle experience.

• Proficient in mechanical design, machine mechanisms, material selection, tolerance analysis, and engineering calculations.

• Proficient with 3D CAD tools such as CREO Direct or SolidWorks. Experience with motion simulation or other CAE tools is an advantage.

• Familiar with servo motors, pneumatic systems, linear-motion systems, indexing and cam mechanisms, feeders, sensors, machine vision and robotic handling.

• Knowledge of connector manufacturing processes, including terminal stitching, insertion, assembly, laser welding, inspection, testing, stamping and insert moulding, is preferred.

• Strong analytical, troubleshooting, project-management and cross-functional communication skills.
