Design Engineering
Design Engineers are the starting point for every part that ships.
At Amphenol RF, Design Engineers turn product vision into manufacturable, high-performance reality. They shape every connector and coaxial cable assembly from the inside out, making critical decisions around geometry, materials and tolerances that determine whether a concept can perform, scale and withstand real-world demands.
Design Engineers: Where Ideas Become Real
Why Design Engineers Matter
Performance begins at the design level. Every dimension, stackup and material choice affects signal integrity, mechanical reliability and long-term cost. These engineers balance creativity with practical constraints, so what looks good in CAD also works in the field and on the production floor.
How They Work
- Engineering From the Ground Up: design engineers apply their substantial knowledge of mechanical and electrical principles to meet stringent requirements from the first iteration. They use CAD tools like Creo, paired with simulation software such as ANSYS HFSS (High-Frequency Structure Simulator) and FEA (Finite Element Analysis), to validate form, fit and function before the first physical prototype is built.
- Designed for the Full Lifecycle: from machining tolerances to production tooling, every detail is engineered with scale and reliability in mind
- Collaboration That Drives Clarity: they work closely with application, RF and manufacturing teams to ensure each design meets technical specs and production realities to ensure that what is created in CAD can be built efficiently at any volume
What It Means for You
- Designs that balance performance, footprint and cost
- Fewer delays caused by redesigns or manufacturing mismatches
- Connectors built to spec, ready for real-world production
- A design team that understands how parts come together, literally and strategically
Expertise That Delivers
Design Engineers at Amphenol RF:
- Use Creo and SolidWorks for precision 3D modeling
- Validate performance with HFSS and FEA tools
- Understand tolerance stackups, sealing and production constraints
- Design for a range of applications in telecom, aerospace, defense and wireless infrastructure.
Who They Are
Amphenol’s Design Engineers typically hold degrees in mechanical or electrical engineering. They bring:
- Strong 3D spatial thinking and a detailed understanding of physical assembly
- A hands-on mindset shaped by real-world prototyping and manufacturing
- Cross-functional experience in design, simulation and production coordination
“Three-dimensional thinking is key. You need to understand how all the parts come together, and not just on a screen, but in the real world.”
— Chris Vigorito, Design Engineering Manager
