Join TE Connectivity’s Active Electrical Cable Development team to validate and automate next-generation AEC and ACC products for AI, data-center, and high-performance networking. This role combines system-level interoperability, regression automation, data-driven quality analysis, and cross-layer debugging across cables, switches, NICs and DPUs, servers, GPU clusters, traffic generators, operating systems, drivers, and firmware.
Build representative multi-vendor customer environments, identify interoperability risks before deployment, and improve repeatable regression coverage. Provide objective test evidence that enables clear, scalable product-release decisions.
- Own interoperability and network-validation strategy, test planning and execution for AEC and ACC products.
- Design complex multi-vendor configurations that reproduce customer deployment environments.
- Convert system requirements into executable tests and expand regression coverage with reusable automation.
- Maintain efficient, sustainable lab infrastructure and repeatable test configurations.
- Lead cross-layer troubleshooting across applications, operating systems, drivers, NICs and DPUs, switches, cables, firmware, and PHYs.
- Analyze logs, counters, telemetry, and configuration data to isolate failures and verify corrective actions.
- Partner with Firmware, Hardware, Signal Integrity, Software, Product, and Customer Engineering teams.
- Communicate technical risks, test results, and evidence-based release recommendations to engineering leadership.
- Mentor junior engineers and improve test, defect management, and documentation practices.
Interoperability and System Validation
- Validate AEC/ACC across switches, NICs, DPUs, GPUs, traffic generators, and customer-referenced platforms.
- Cover multiple OEMs, silicon vendors, cable lengths, firmware revisions, FEC settings, breakout modes, and link rates.
- Verify initialization, repeated link cycles, port resets, reboot recovery, traffic restart, and long-duration stability.
- Develop system-level plans spanning hardware, firmware, drivers, operating systems, switch NOS, and applications.
- Configure and troubleshoot server-to-switch and multi-node GPU-cluster connectivity.
- Validate high-bandwidth Ethernet paths for AI/HPC, including topology, driver, firmware, and host dependencies.
- Build repeatable, customer-representative multi-node test configurations.
- Characterize new scenarios manually, then automate repeatable tests using Python, PyTest, Bash, REST APIs, SSH, and vendor interfaces.
- Integrate automated tests into CI/CD and regression infrastructure; collect and analyze logs, counters, and telemetry.
- Use log parsing, dashboards, and failure-trend analysis to improve coverage and quality decisions.
- Localize failures to the cable, host, switch, firmware, driver, configuration, or system layer.
- Correlate switch/NIC counters and diagnostic data with cable firmware and EEPROM/configuration revisions.
- Support root-cause analysis and corrective-action verification across engineering disciplines.
What your background should look like
- BS or higher in Electrical Engineering, Networking, Telecommunications, Computer Science, Software Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related field; master's preferred.
- 5+ years of relevant experience validating network systems, software applications, automation solutions, or engineering systems.
- Strong Linux and Networking Foundation: Ethernet, TCP/IP, Layer 2/Layer 3, VLAN, LAG/LACP, FEC, link training, MTU, and packet/error counters.
- Proficiency in Python and/or Bash/Shell with practical use of REST APIs, SSH, JSON/YAML, and Linux CLI tools.
- Experience with Git, GitHub or GitLab, Jenkins/CI/CD, Jira, Confluence, Agile development, software testing and debugging.
- Hands-on experience with data-center switches, NICs, SmartNICs, DPUs, servers, or high-performance compute platforms.
- Advanced Linux troubleshooting using SSH, ethtool, ip, lspci, dmesg, and journalctl.
- Experience with SONiC, Cumulus Linux, or vendor-customized Linux variant network operating systems.
- PyTest, hardware-in-the-loop and lab automation using BERTs, VNA, pattern generators and power supplies.
- Knowledge of AEC, ACC, AOC, QSFP/QSFP-DD/OSFP, CMIS, EEPROM and re-timer/re-driver technologies.
- Signal-integrity fundamentals: BER, crosstalk, channel loss, equalization, jitter, and PAM4/NRZ.
- GPU/AI networking: GPU servers, NICs, DPUs, RoCE/RDMA, multi-node clusters and high-throughput Ethernet fabrics.
- Data analytics, telemetry processing, dashboards, and failure-trend analysis.
- Exposure to AI-assisted test generation, defect prediction, automated log analysis, LLM integration, or agentic AI tools.
- Competitive base salary commensurate with experience: $116,900 - $175,300 (subject to change depending on physical location)
- Posted salary ranges are made in good faith. TE Connectivity reserves the right to adjust ranges depending on the experience/qualification of the selected candidate as well as internal and external equity.

Mid Level Site Engineer Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions
How do I get a mid level site engineer job?
Position your experience around ownership, not just participation. Highlight projects where you managed subcontractors, resolved field issues independently, or took accountability for schedule and quality outcomes. Tailor your resume to show scope, not just duties, and emphasize any work where you served as the primary point of contact between field crews and project management.
Which companies hire mid level site engineers?
Companies hiring mid level site engineers right now include Unisys, Digital Realty, and TikTok USDS Joint Venture, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. Hiring at this level comes from general contractors, specialty subcontractors, infrastructure developers, and owner-operators managing capital projects across construction, energy, and civil sectors.
Are there remote mid level site engineer jobs?
Yes, though most site engineer roles require a physical presence on project sites. About 25% of mid level site engineer openings are remote or hybrid as of November 2026, and those roles typically involve pre-construction planning, design coordination, or project management support rather than active field supervision.
How do I move up to a mid level site engineer role?
Progression from entry level to mid level comes from accumulating genuine ownership over time. That means moving from task execution to leading discrete scopes, building fluency with project controls and subcontractor management, and demonstrating that you can close out issues without escalating everything. Measurable impact on schedule, cost, or quality outcomes is what distinguishes mid level candidates from early-career ones.
Which industries hire the most mid level site engineers?
Mid Level site engineer roles concentrate in Technology & Software, Consulting & Professional Services, and Construction & Real Estate, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. These sectors drive consistent hiring at this level because they run complex, multi-phase projects that require experienced engineers who can manage field operations with limited oversight from senior staff.
