Job Description
Systems Integration Engineer Molex life insurance, parental leave United States, Pennsylvania, Harrisburg Aug 19, 2026 Your Job We're seeking an experienced Systems Integration Engineer (SIE) to lead hardware validation and interoperability efforts for Active Copper Cable (ACC) and Active Electrical Cable (AEC) assemblies used in highspeed networking systems. This role is focused on systems containing embedded PCAs with DSPs, retimers, equalizers, power management, and control interfaces, integrated directly within the cable module. In this role, you will serve as a technical authority for PCAbased cable module bringup, debug, and systemlevel interoperability, working across hardware, firmware, signal integrity, and networking teams. You will drive rootcause investigations, evaluate design robustness, and help define validation best practices for electronically complex interconnects. This position is ideal for an experienced engineer who thrives at the intersection of PCA hardware, embedded electronics, and networking system interoperability. Our Team Molex's Copper Solutions Business Unit (CSBU) is a global team that works together to deliver exceptional products to worldwide telecommunication and data center customers. CSBU is one of the most highly technically advanced business units within Molex. Our engineering teams design cutting edge solutions for high-speed, high-density products that maximize speed, signal integrity, and efficiency. Why Join Us You will be getting in on the ground floor of a booming sector inside Molex as part of a team building the infrastructure and processes that enable worldclass interoperability testing.
