We’re seeking an experienced Systems Integration Engineer (SIE) to lead hardware validation and interoperability efforts for Active Copper Cable (ACC) and Active Electrical Cable (AEC) assemblies used in high‑speed networking systems. This role is focused on systems containing embedded PCAs with DSPs, retimers, equalizers, power management, and control interfaces, integrated directly within the cable module.
In this role, you will serve as a technical authority for PCA‑based cable module bring‑up, debug, and system‑level interoperability, working across hardware, firmware, signal integrity, and networking teams. You will drive root‑cause investigations, evaluate design robustness, and help define validation best practices for electronically complex interconnects.
This position is ideal for an experienced engineer who thrives at the intersection of PCA hardware, embedded electronics, and networking system interoperability.
Molex’s Copper Solutions Business Unit (CSBU) is a global team that works together to deliver exceptional products to worldwide telecommunication and data center customers. CSBU is one of the most highly technically advanced business units within Molex. Our engineering teams design cutting edge solutions for high-speed, high-density products that maximize speed, signal integrity, and efficiency.
You will be getting in on the ground floor of a booming sector inside Molex as part of a team building the infrastructure and processes that enable world‑class interoperability testing. This role offers deep technical ownership, visibility into product readiness, and the opportunity to influence how embedded cable electronics interoperate at scale. You will work hands‑on with advanced interconnect technology and play a key role in ensuring robust, repeatable interoperability across lab and customer environments.
