PRINCIPAL R&D/PRODUCT DVL ENGINEER

Business Unit Overview

Consumer, network, and data center applications are evolving at an exponential pace — and TE Connectivity's Data & Devices (D&D) business unit is at the heart of this continuously expanding connected world. We conceive, design, and manufacture with responsiveness and agility to meet today's most demanding requirements. Our customers are building the devices and infrastructure that are fundamentally redefining information technology, and our products are engineered to push market boundaries and meet the ever-changing needs of a faster, more data-driven world.

As a Principal Engineer in the Power Integrity Center of Excellence (PI COE), you will lead advanced power integrity (PI) research, modeling, and validation for next-generation high-speed interconnects and chassis deployed in AI data centers and high-performance computing (HPC) environments. You will independently drive PI studies and design platforming — spanning geometry analysis, simulation-driven optimization, and design validation.

In this role, you will explore emerging PI methodologies, conduct in-depth literature reviews, formulate structured research plans, and develop innovative engineering solutions — including in technically ambiguous or undefined problem spaces. You will collaborate closely with mechanical, manufacturing, materials, and operations teams to champion the adoption of cutting-edge PI technologies.

As a recognized subject matter expert, you will oversee the full PI engineering lifecycle — from initial analysis and modeling through design, simulation, prototype fabrication, and final validation. You will take on complex design challenges and leverage advanced simulation tools to consistently optimize designs for both performance and manufacturability.

Power Integrity Design & Simulation

Lead PI design, simulation, and validation for next-generation high-speed interconnects and chassis throughout the full product development cycle

Execute PI COE analysis workflows, including:

Performing power integrity simulations for high-speed interconnect product development, selecting appropriate simulation methodologies and setups tailored to each interface

Modeling connectors and chassis with careful consideration of manufacturing constraints and end-use application requirements

Identifying PI challenges, formulating research plans, developing new enabling technologies, and disseminating findings to the broader engineering community

Advanced Testing & Methodology Development

Innovative testing methodologies to characterize key PI metrics (impedance, voltage ripple, droop, noise coupling)

Develop and apply AI and big data analytics for predictive PI modeling and performance optimization

Design Optimization & Collaboration

Optimize material selection and electromagnetic design to improve noise isolation, signal integrity, and high-frequency response characteristics

Partner with New Product Development (NPD) teams and industry collaborators to shape PI strategies, contribute to technology roadmaps, and influence next-generation product design directions

Bachelor’s degree in electrical engineering or a closely related field; equivalent practical experience considered

10+ years of hands-on experience in a power integrity engineering role

Doctoral degree is a strong plus
