High Speed Data Cable Engineer (f/m/d)

Jobinhalt

Enabling New Mobility SolutionsSince mobility is increasingly getting automated and cars resemble more and more computers on wheels the amount of information to be distributed and processed inside the vehicle is dramatically rising. The central compute platform need to be connected to zone controllers with high data rate within a smart vehicle architecture. Besides, evolution of the vehicle’s “eyes and ears” like antennas, cameras, radars, lidars, and other sensors drive the exploding no of high speed interconnections as well as displays with increasing size and resolution.To fulfill the needs of fast and reliable data highways APTIV is developing differential and coaxial high speed connectors and assemblies (HSCA). Because the data cable is a significant part of the whole interconnection we are seeking for an high speed data cable engineer in order to further strengthen our system competency. Our international and diverse core team in Wuppertal customer technology center is part of the APTIV network and in close collaboration with other locations around the globe in North America, China, France, Poland and more.Join our innovative teamInterested to bring the next generation of autonomous driving and connectivity to life? Then apply and get part of the technology company that’s transforming the future of mobility today.Main Duties And Responsibilities
