Job Title: MANUFACTURING & PROCESS DEVELOPM ENTENGINEER- Electrophysiology Catheter NPD

Posting Start Date: 7/24/26

At TE, you will unleash your potential working with people from diverse backgrounds and industries to create a safer, sustainable and more connected world.

Job Description:

Job Overview

At TE Connectivity, we create the connections that power the future of healthcare. As an R&D Process Development Engineer II, you will play a pivotal role in our Medical business unit, specifically focusing on the design and manufacture of high-precision Electrophysiology (EP) catheter technologies.

You will act as the vital link between initial product concept and full-scale manufacturing. Your mission is to ensure that next-generation EP catheters-complex devices involving intricate sensors, electrodes, and steerable shafts-are designed for manufacturability (DFM) and produced using stable, high-yield processes. You will work within our LEANPD framework to develop, qualify, and scale the manufacturing technologies that make life-saving cardiac procedures possible.

Core Responsibilities

• Process Innovation & Design: Develop and optimize manufacturing platforms specifically for EP catheters, including electrode bonding, micro-assembly, catheter shaft lamination, and braiding.
• Fixture Development: Designs and develops specialized fixturing that secures components in the exact same position repeatability ensuring manufacturing operations without errors.
• Technical Problem Solving: Apply scientific principles and DOE (Design of Experiments) to characterize process limits and resolve complex technical challenges inherent in micro-scale medical device assembly.
• Validation & Compliance: Lead the execution of Equipment Installation Qualifications (IQ) and Process Validations (OQ/PQ) to ensure all methods meet stringent FDA/ISO regulatory standards.
• Productivity & Control: Implement robust process controls and visual management to prevent failures. Prepare detailed work instructions and technical documentation for cleanroom manufacturing.
• Capital Management: Identify equipment needs for new programs; manage the specification, procurement, and justification of advanced automation and assembly hardware.
• Root Cause Analysis: Lead investigations into non-conformances (NCMR) and Material Review Board (MRB) items, identifying root causes and implementing long-term corrective actions.
• Cross-Functional Collaboration: Provide technical guidance to Product Development to ensure designs are optimized for assembly, cost-efficiency, and high quality.

Job Requirements

Required Qualifications:

• Education: Bachelor's Degree in Mechanical, Manufacturing, or Biomedical Engineering, Material Science, or a related technical field.
• Experience: 3-5 years of professional experience in medical device process development or R&D.
• Technical Expertise: Strong background in statistical analysis (Minitab or JMP preferred), root cause analysis, and proficiency in English.
• Team Focused: Ability to coordinate and work across sites, as this engineer may well be working with engineers in other facilities or handing off processes to production.

Preferred Experience:

• Specialized Knowledge: Direct experience with Electrophysiology (EP) catheter technologies, including steerable handles, mapping electrodes, or ablation components.
• Materials Insight: Understanding of medical-grade polymers, Pebax, nitinol, and precious metal electrode assemblies.
• Soft Skills: A self-directed "hands-on" approach with a mindset for continuous improvement and innovation.
