Stuart Steadman Email & Phone Number

Dr Stuart Steadman is Senior Principal Engineer and lead for TE Connectivitys development of next generation high voltage wire and cable electrical products for Aerospace applications. New emission targets require the commercial aerospace industry to develop hybrid and all electrical aircraft. This will see the voltage level of the on-board electrical system climb to 0.75-3KV, the lower voltages being used for eVTOL air taxis and the higher voltages being used in regional jet applications. TE Connectivity is engaged in a number of high voltage cable and connector opportunities with major Aerospace companies and academia. With a passion for clean energy and experience in a number of industrial sectors such as Areospace, Automotive, Rail and Marine, Dr Steadman is the project lead for wire and cable design, materials and process knowhow to develop the next generation high voltage cables. His responsibilities include working with Academic partners, Aircraft and Engine manufacturers and external funding organisations to support the clean flight initiative. In this role he leads a team of cross functional experts including Electrical experts, Modelling experts and Operational Engineers. With over 25 years experience in his field Dr Steadman also supports the development of several other wire and cable programs in Aerospace, Defence and Marine products and has developed a number of key products within his role at TE Connectivity, formerly Raychem. In this senior role he leads strategy, supports sales, product management and procurement as the technical expert in front of customers and suppliers, translating complex technical subject matter into basic principles. As the wire and cable expert, he represents TE on International committees and external approval bodies, ensuring a global presence and adherance to compliance programs. Dr Steadman provides extensive experience of wire and cable to resolve complex issues on a regular basis as well as mentoring other engineers. He is also a committee member of ASD-STAN D2cables, ACE6/2 and SAE-9 high voltage materials for electric flight. He is a member of the SAE AE9 committee looking at materials for future electric aerospace systems and the ASD-STAN D2WG1 group. Dr Steadman has also worked within TE’s Automotive, Rail, Marine and Corporate Technology organisations. He has 2 granted patents, presented at International conferences and has a number of published papers and book contributions in the field of polymer blends and alloys.

Listed skills include Polymers, Plastics, Materials, Product Development, and 15 others.
