Job Overview
TE Connectivity is a leading provider of advanced automotive connectivity solutions, supporting virtually every electronic function within modern vehicles—from alternative power systems to infotainment and sensor technologies. Our products operate in demanding environments where precision, reliability, and quality are essential. Technician IV is an advanced technical position responsible for complex machining, tooling, and precision manufacturing activities, with a strong emphasis on Wire EDM programming, setup, process development, and operation. This position requires a highly skilled technician capable of independently developing machining solutions for complex components, tooling, dies, inserts, and precision components with demanding dimensional and geometric requirements. Technician IV will work closely with Tool Design, Manufacturing Engineering, Quality, and other technical personnel to develop and execute machining processes from engineering drawings and 3D models through completed, inspected components. The individual will be expected to troubleshoot complex machining challenges, optimize processes, and provide technical guidance to other technicians and machinists. Key Responsibilities:
Program, set up, operate, and troubleshoot Wire EDM equipment for complex tooling and precision components. Independently develop Wire EDM processes from engineering drawings, CAD models, process documentation, and tooling requirements. Develop machining strategies for complex profiles, tight-tolerance features, intricate geometries, small openings, hardened materials, and difficult-to-machine components. Perform multi-pass and precision skim-cut operations to achieve required dimensional, geometric, and surface-finish requirements. Determine appropriate wire selection, cutting conditions, flushing parameters, workpiece setup, offsets, and machining sequences. Optimize Wire EDM programs and processes to improve dimensional accuracy, surface finish, cycle time, and overall process reliability. Troubleshoot Wire EDM problems involving wire breaks, flushing, taper, accuracy, surface finish, machine conditions, and material-related issues. Identify and correct process-related causes of dimensional variation and machining defects. Utilize CAD/CAM software and machine-specific programming systems to generate and modify Wire EDM
