Job Description

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 Overview

Technician should focus on the sustainability, optimization, and continuous improvement of extrusion and twinax cable maintenance equipment, will specialize in process/maintenance reliability, mechanical improvements, and control system optimization across high-speed cable lines. Acts as a bridge between engineering, maintenance, and manufacturing—ensuring uptime and optimal machine conditions.

Job Requirements

Key Skills & Knowledge

• Deep technical understanding of complex mechanical systems such as extrusion/molding systems.
• intermedium Expertise in control systems and automation (PID loops, servo drives, dancer control, tension feedback, PLC logic, and SCADA integration).
• Ability to diagnose, repair, and improve mechanical systems, tooling interfaces
• Strong background in preventive/predictive maintenance and reliability engineering (RCM, FMEA, MTBF tracking).
• Desired experience with data acquisition systems, SPC tools, and process monitoring for performance analysis.
• Desired basic knowledge of concepts like signal integrity/electrical Hi-pot, impedance.
• Competent in SAP or CMMS systems for planning and documenting maintenance or improvement projects.

Key Responsibilities

• Execute equipment maintenance/repair/evaluation/reliability control initiatives for bulk cable equipments.
• Develop and implement mechanical or automation upgrades to improve process stability, throughput, and quality performance.
• Support maintenance teams in diagnosing complex failures on extruders, taping lines, capstans, or dancer/tension systems.
• Define and optimize control parameters (PID tuning, synchronization, temperature zones, pressure, line speed, and torque).
• Repair and refurbishment of extrusion heads, dies, taping units, and winding systems—both locally and with external vendors.
• support technology scouting: evaluate and integrate new instrumentation, sensors, control platforms, or mechanical systems that enhance process reliability.
• Conduct data-driven analysis of downtime and process drift; implement sustainable solutions to eliminate chronic issues.
• Develop documentation and preventive maintenance standards (SOPs, lubrication plans, calibration routines, LOTO checklists).
• Collaborate with Manufacturing Engineering to transfer new technologies or line modifications into production.
• Ensure compliance with safety and EH&S standards during interventions, modifications, or upgrades.

What your background should look like

Typically requires 5-6 years or more of related work experience. Requires high school diploma. Completion of an AA degree or equivalent is preferred.
