Product Manager Engineer

As a Product Management Engineer for High-Speed Interconnect Products, you will be the on-site bridge between product strategy and factory execution at Molex’s Guadalajara. In this high-energy role, you will translate product and customer needs into manufacturable, scalable solutions—providing clarity across stakeholders, accelerating execution, and supporting product performance from ramp-up through mass production and end-of-life.

Our Team

You will work at the Molex El Salto plant as part of a cross-functional network connecting Product Management, R&D (including Signal Integrity/Design), Manufacturing, and Sales. This role serves as a central hub that enables alignment, removes barriers, and ensures fast, accurate communication from leadership to the shop floor.

What You Will Do

• Act as the “boots on the ground” extension of Product Management, ensuring product strategy can be executed effectively in the plant environment.
• Translate across functions—turning engineering requirements into manufacturing realities and aligning customer deliverables with what the factory can reliably ship.
• Serve as the primary liaison and technical focal point between R&D and Production, enabling seamless information flow and fast decision-making.
• Provide clarity and rapid conflict resolution on operational procedures, empowering manufacturing teams to execute with confidence.
• Accelerate execution by identifying bottlenecks, breaking down silos, and driving alignment to support aggressive deliverables and lifecycle speed.
• Own product lifecycle execution at the plant through:
• Ramp Up: ensuring early builds meet quality expectations and prototypes can scale to mass production.
• Mass Production: monitoring performance and maintaining high data quality / “signal integrity” during high-volume runs.
• End of Life (EOL): managing wind-down and transition to next-gen products while minimizing excess waste.

• Bachelor’s degree in Engineering.
• Experience serving as a cross-functional technical liaison connecting R&D and Manufacturing.
• Strong project management experience and capability with the ability to prioritize in a fast-paced, high-volume manufacturing environment.
• Bilingual proficiency with the ability to work effectively across global regions and cultural/linguistic differences.
• Ability to travel globally.

• Proven experience building and scaling teams, establishing accountability, and creating organizational stability in high-growth environments.
• Demonstrated ability to design and implement standard operating procedures (SOPs) and operational frameworks where structure is limited or evolving.
• Track record of navigating ambiguity and maintaining focus through rapid scaling or market-direction shifts (change management).
• Ability to connect technical and operational groups (R&D, Signal Integrity, Manufacturing, Sales) and proactively remove bottlenecks to accelerate execution and NPI cycles.
• Multidisciplinary background (Electrical or Mechanical Engineering) paired with commercial acumen (Sales or Product Management).
• Strong capability to translate complex technical data into clear narratives that drive alignment from shop-floor teams to senior leadership.
• Mastery of dynamic prioritization across multiple high-priority initiatives without compromising quality or timelines.
