At Molex, we are looking for a passionate Design Engineer to join our High Voltage Connector team, where your expertise in fundamental engineering principles and critical thinking will directly influence the development of advanced, high-performance products.

In this role, you will leverage powerful design tools such as CAD, tolerance analysis, FEA, FMEA, and DVP&R to create innovative solutions and overcome technical challenges. You will collaborate closely with cross-functional teams, take ownership of product designs, and contribute to delivering outstanding results within schedule - supported by mentorship from experienced leaders.

Our Team

At Molex, you will be part of a forward-thinking culture that values creativity, continuous learning, and pushing the boundaries of technology. If you are ready to accelerate your career and help shape the future of engineering excellence, apply today and join our dynamic team!

What You Will Do

• Support concept development, ensuring designs are manufacturable, cost-effective, and meet customer requirements.
• Conduct DFMEA, FEA, tolerance analysis, and other analytical studies with guidance from senior engineers.
• Create and maintain product models and drawings using GD&T, ensuring proper datum selection, dimensioning, and tolerancing, with support from experienced engineers.
• Assist in documenting project scope, requirements, feasibility, and engineering work plans.
• Develop test plans (DVP&R) and analyze test results using statistical methods; perform DOE, Hypothesis Testing, and Capability Studies.
• Lead root cause analysis using structured problem-solving methods like 8D, 5 Why, and Fishbone diagrams with senior guidance.
• Select materials for plastic injection molded and metal stamped components.

Who You Are (Basic Qualifications)

• Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering or a related field
• Engineering experience in product design
• Experience using analytical studies (FEA, tolerance stacks, DFMEA, etc.) as part of a product development process
• Experience developing validation plans and analyzing test results to ensure a product meets performance requirements
• Demonstrated ability to use structured problem-solving methods to systematically determine root causes for complex technical issues
• Ability to travel approximately 10% of the time

What Will Put You Ahead

• Product design experience in the automotive industry, preferably in connector design
• Automotive High Voltage Connector development knowledge and experience
• Knowledge of resins, metals, engineering tools and processes, and manufacturing processes (injection molding, stamping, plating, assembly)

Additionally, everyone has individual work and personal needs. We seek to enable the best work environment that helps you and the business work together to produce superior results.
