Business Development Engineer - Enterprise High-Speed Copper

We are expanding within our Copper Solutions Business Unit and seeking a Business Development Engineer (BDE) to join our Enterprise Products team. This role is intended for a technically deep, commercially astute professional who creates value by influencing customer architecture decisions, shaping product strategy, and strengthening Molexs long-term comparative advantage in high-speed copper interconnect solutions.

The BDE operates at the intersection of customer systems architecture, product development, and market strategy with a mandate to engage early, think long-term, and translate insight into sustained business growth-particularly within hyperscale and enterprise data center ecosystems.

What You Will Do

Serve as a senior technical and architectural authority for high-speed enterprise copper interconnect solutions, engaging customers during early architecture definition, system trade studies, and development cycles where design decisions have the greatest long-term impact.

Demonstrate and communicate Molexs comparative advantages across next-generation copper technologies, clearly linking performance, manufacturability, scalability, and total system value to evolving hyperscale and enterprise data center requirements.

Create value through customer insight by capturing, synthesizing, and prioritizing voice-of-customer (VOC) inputs and translating them into clear actionable guidance for product platforms, portfolio evolution, and technology roadmaps.

Partner closely with Product Management, Engineering, and Marketing to ensure Molexs development investments are aligned with high-value customer problems and long-term market opportunities.

Proactively identify and grow new business opportunities by engaging strategic customers, cultivating targeted technical relationships, and positioning Molex early within customer architectures where design influence and switching costs are highest.

Develop a strong understanding of the broader enterprise and hyperscale ecosystem, including customer roadmaps, application trends, competitive solutions, and emerging architectural challenges, enabling informed recommendations and higher-quality strategic decisions.

Monitor and interpret market dynamics, competitive activity, and technology inflection points to help guide business priorities and resource allocation.

Represent Molex as a technical thought partner at industry conferences, trade shows, and technical forums, strengthening Molexs credibility, brand presence, and influence within the enterprise data center community.

• Proven ability to operate effectively in a global, cross-functional environment, collaborating with product management, engineering, manufacturing, and commercial teams to drive aligned outcomes
• Strong technical judgment and communication skills with the ability to engage credibly with customer engineering teams while clearly articulating trade-offs, risks, and value
• Willingness to travel up to ~50 primarily to customer sites in Silicon Valley, Austin, and Denver, with additional domestic or international travel as required to support strategic customer engagements

Preferred Qualifications

• Working knowledge of high-speed interconnect technologies, including copper connectors, cable assemblies, and related signal integrity, mechanical, and system-level considerations

• Familiarity with data center and enterprise computing applications, including compute networking, accelerator-centric systems, and/or ASIC (Application-Specific Integrated Circuit) development and system architecture
• Understanding of product lifecycle concepts, such as roadmap development, platform strategy, or go-to-market planning
