THE ROLE:
Drive the end-to-end manufacturing test strategy—from early design through high-volume production—to ensure reliable, scalable execution. Oversee NPI and sustaining activities, including test infrastructure, capacity planning, and yield optimization. Design and deploy test platforms, manage critical systems, and resolve production issues both remotely and onsite. Define equipment specifications, validate test solutions, and analyze data to improve performance and reduce failures across global manufacturing operations.
THE PERSON:
A clear communicator who builds trust across teams and overseas partners. They stay calm under pressure, adapt to time zones and cultural differences, and drive alignment without formal authority. Highly organized and data-driven, they balance priorities, troubleshoot quickly, and maintain a continuous-improvement mindset. Ownership, accountability, and collaboration define their approach, ensuring smooth execution from remote analysis to on-site leadership.
KEY RESPONSIBILITIES:
- Define and execute a comprehensive manufacturing test strategy in collaboration with DIAG, Hardware, ASIC, Software, and PLQ teams.
- Develop test plans, coverage evaluations, and mechanical test requirements for new and existing products.
- Design and deploy manufacturing test platforms, fixtures, jigs, and SOPs for Contract Manufacturers.
- Specify, validate, and release test equipment to production.
- Manage test infrastructure, including servers, performance monitoring, and log accessibility.
- Lead NPI bring-up and sustaining production through remote debug, onsite builds, and yield improvement initiatives.
- Analyze high-volume test data to identify root causes, improve yield, and reduce failures.
- Oversee ECR/ECO processes for test changes and ensure alignment across engineering and manufacturing.
- Model test capacity and throughput to support production forecasts and ramp schedules.
- Coordinate with overseas CMs for escalations, remote troubleshooting, and onsite support (10–20% travel).
PREFERRED EXPERIENCE:
- Proven experience in manufacturing test engineering or production engineering for complex electronic products.
- Ownership of NPI and sustaining production, including test system design and deployment.
- Background with DPU or similar high-performance computing/networking hardware.
- Expertise in developing test fixtures, hardware, and automated workflows.
- Strong collaboration with DIAG, HW, ASIC, and SW teams on test requirements and coverage.
- Hands-on support for overseas CMs, including remote debug, night calls, and onsite execution.
- Experience with thermal chambers and environmental stress testing (thermal cycling, burn-in, temperature characterization).
- Proficiency in command-line operations for log analysis, file management, and script automation.
- Ability to analyze high-volume yield data, isolate failure signatures, and correlate across HW/SW/Diag.
- Skilled in writing test plans, SOPs, sustaining guides, and managing ECR/ECO changes.
ACADEMIC CREDENTIALS:
- Bachelor's degree in electrical, Computer, Manufacturing Engineering, or related technical field.
