Process Engineer, Connectors
About The Position
As a Process Engineer on our Connectors team, you will serve as the technical leader for how connector processes are designed, validated, and scaled. You will develop and own new processes across a range of connectorization methods, including injection molding, overmolding, laser welding, and others; always with an eye toward scalability, automation, and long-term manufacturability. This role sits at the intersection of design and manufacturing. You will work closely and collaboratively with design engineers, where your process expertise directly shapes product decisions, and their design intent shapes the processes you build. We’re looking for someone who brings structure to ambiguity, thrives in a fast-changing environment, and has the drive to grow their impact as the Connectors team scales. This is more than engineering; it’s defining how CelLink connects its technology to the world.
Requirements
- Bachelor’s degree or higher in Mechanical Engineering, Materials Science, Chemical Engineering, Manufacturing, or a related technical field
- 3+ years of hands-on experience in process engineering, NPI, or advanced manufacturing.
- Hands-on experience with injection molding and/or overmolding processes.
- Demonstrated ability to develop new manufacturing processes and take them from concept through validation and into production
- Solid background in DOE methodology, statistical analysis, and data-driven decision-making; experience with JMP, Minitab, or similar tools preferred
Nice To Haves
- Experience with electrical interconnection processes such as laser welding, soldering, crimping, or similar techniques is a strong plus
- Familiarity with Design for Manufacturability (DFM), design review participation, and CAD tools
- Experience supporting APQP documentation: PFMEAs, DVP&Rs, control plans, etc.
Responsibilities
- Serve as the technical lead for connector process development; owning processes from concept through validation, scale-up, and handoff to sustained production.
- Develop new and innovative manufacturing processes across a range of connectorization methods, including (but not limited to) injection molding, overmolding, and laser welding, with a mindset toward scalability and automation from day one.
- Design, execute, and analyze structured Design of Experiments (DOEs) to optimize process parameters, improve yield, and reduce variability.
- Validate processes using lab and metrology equipment to ensure results meet quality, reliability, and customer requirements.
- Collaborate closely and bidirectionally with design engineers, providing critical process and manufacturability feedback that shapes product design decisions, and translating design intent into robust, scalable processes.
- Work hands-on with technicians during builds, providing technical direction and guidance; foster a strong, collaborative working relationship on the production floor.
- Write and maintain clear, accurate work instructions and process documentation to ensure consistency, repeatability, and smooth knowledge transfer.
- Identify opportunities to automate, scale, or improve connector processes; lead initiatives that push CelLink’s manufacturing capabilities forward.
- Lead root cause investigations and drive data-driven corrective actions to resolve process issues and prevent recurrence.
- Support APQP documentation as needed, including PFMEAs, DVP&Rs, and control plans.
