Job Overview

This engineer will lead efforts to ensure that tapering operations deliver product that meets extremely tight signal integrity, dimensional, and material specifications while maintaining line efficiency, cost control, and EH&S compliance as well as regulatory standards (UL, ISO).Working also in collaboration with multifunctional teams.

Key Skills & Knowledge

• Strong understanding of high-speed cables specially twinax cable constructions (differential pairs, shields, jacket materials) and the influence of taper on signal integrity, impedance, skew, and insertion loss.
• Deep knowledge of taper tooling, die design, taper pull parameters, capstan and wheel systems, tension control, and inline measurement systems.
• Familiarity with twinax manufacturing equipment: precision taping machines, capstans, pay-off units, tensile/dancer control, and in-line sintering ovens for taping.
• Proficiency in data analysis, SPC, Root Cause Analysis (RCA), and continuous improvement methodologies (Six Sigma, Lean Manufacturing).
• Knowledge of international cable and signal integrity standards (e.g., 85 Ω / 100 Ω Twinax, insertion loss, skew, impedance tolerances).
• Strong mechanical aptitude to manage tooling repairs, spare parts, and maintenance of taper/stranding/taping equipment.
• Ability to work with SAP or equivalent manufacturing/maintenance systems for planning, tracking, and executing corrective/preventive actions.
• Familiar with lean manufacturing practices.
• Proficient in design software as SolidWorks and/or AutoCAD.
• Familiar with material handling and containerization techniques.
• Strong communications and leadership skills
• Proven experience with problem solving techniques.
• Excellent ability to interpret product drawings and requirements as well as engineering machinery drawings and diagrams.
• English (B2 is a must - higher desirable)
