Global Commodity Engineer – Interconnection Technologies (m/f/d)
The Global Interconnection Technology Engineer is a key technical contributor within the Global Interconnect Commodity Team. The role works in close collaboration with local and global R\&D organizations, Global Procurement, and strategic suppliers to jointly develop and execute interconnection technology and sourcing strategies for a highly complex product environment.
The position is accountable for enabling and driving robust solutions across interconnection technologies (e.g., connectors, cable assemblies, harnesses, PCB interconnects) by aligning business requirements, technical roadmaps, and supply market capabilities.
