Investing in All-Star Engineering Teams

We continuously bolster our all-star engineering team with talent development opportunities.


Designing for Excellence

Successful product development is not only measured in the functionality of the finished product, but also in its cost, time-to-market and long-term reliability. Molex’s engineering expertise supports the entire product lifecycle and spans “Design for” (DfX) methodologies, including manufacturability (DfM), reliability (DfR), supply chain (DfSC) and more. Through cutting-edge interconnect solutions and built-in resiliency, we help customers go-to-market faster and more cost-effectively — with a superior product.

Embracing Digital Engineering

Today’s engineers have more tools at their fingertips than ever before. At Molex, we’re harnessing predictive engineering to help customers bring products to the market quickly, reliably and cost-effectively. By creating prototypes and processes in a digital environment before any physical parts are produced, the whole production process is streamlined, more predictable, and more collaborative — from design to manufacturing.

Case Study

Collaborative Engineering Helps Bring New Smart Door to Market

When envisioning their M-Pwr Smart Door, Masonite believed they could eliminate the need for separate batteries to power lighting, video doorbells and smart lock functionality by incorporating power into the exterior door itself. While wiring power into a door may sound simple, it was anything but. To solve this unique design challenge, Masonite teamed up with Molex. Together, the two companies embarked on a journey to bring this industry-first and now award-winning product to market.
