Senior Connector Design Engineer – On Site

My client is currently seeking a Senior Level Design Engineer with System Level Design Experience.
Connector Design or Electro-Mechanical System Design preferred but not required.

They are an award-winning supplier and an established (50 years) and growing (~300 MM) company with 5 sites (3 Domestic & 2 International).
Their parent company is also a CT based entity but a global leader in their markets with over $15 Billion in sales last year.
They are small enough that individual efforts are seen and large enough to actually recognize those efforts with tangible rewards.
They offer excellent professional career growth, tuition reimbursement and very competitive salary and benefits.

Under minimal supervision, the Senior Connector Design Engineer will lead the design and development of advanced RF and microwave components and assemblies for industry-leading product lines across some of the world's most demanding markets and applications.
This role involves developing innovative solutions for connectors, adapters, cable assemblies, antennas, and other RF/microwave products that meet stringent performance requirements in applications ranging from submarine environments to interstellar space.
The engineer will manage complex projects from concept through production, mentor junior engineers, and collaborate cross functionally to support aggressive growth initiatives.
In addition, the Senior Connector Design Engineer will help define product specifications and standards that meet customer needs and partner with suppliers to ensure design manufacturability and product quality throughout the development process.

Design & Development:
Develop RF and microwave components (e.g., coaxial connectors, adapters, cable assemblies, terminations, etc) to meet customer and market requirements.
Perform simulations and modeling using industry-standard tools (e.g., HFSS, ADS, CST).

Technical Analysis:
Interpret technical drawings, schematics, and specifications.
Analyze customer requirements and propose feasible, cost-effective solutions.
Conducts design for manufacturability and cost assessments; recommends design/requirements changes as warranted

Testing & Validation:
Define and execute test plans for RF performance (VSWR, insertion loss, return loss, PIM, etc.).
Troubleshoot and resolve design or performance issues.

Collaboration:
Work closely with manufacturing, quality, sourcing and external suppliers to ensure design manufacturability and cost optimization.
Provide technical support to sales and application engineering teams.
Evaluate design concept requirements packages for feasibility, viability and risk. Leads preliminary design review activities to develop risk assessment and mitigation plans
Leads multiple engineering design projects covering the company's range of technology and product areas

Continuous Improvement:
Stay current with RF/microwave finite element analysis and other design tools
Recommend design enhancements and new product opportunities.
Create and build a library of validated and reliable design standards
Collaborate cross functionally to develop efficient validation and qualification data

Requirements
BS in Mechanical, Aerospace or Electrical Engineering (MS in Engineering helpful)
7 - 10 years of design engineering experience
Familiarity with industry standards (MIL-STDs, IEC, ASTM etc)
Proficient in software tools including Solid Works, CST, PLM, MRP
Knowledge of ISO 9001 and AS 9100 structure and requirements
Expertise with tools such as FMEA, FEA, DFM, DFT and statistical techniques
Strong communication and interpersonal skills to effectively interact with team at all levels in the organization
Excellent problem solving, data analysis, deductive reasoning and critical thinking skills
