Responsibilities

• Drive comprehensive Design for Test (DFT) reviews to verify PCBA accessibility and manufacturability. Architect and implement global manufacturing structural test strategies for New Product Introduction (NPI), ensuring Contract Manufacturing/Original Design Manufacturing (CM/ODM) solutions align with stringent product requirements.
• Lead the end-to-end development and deployment of structural test platforms, including In-Circuit Testing (ICT), flying probe, and boundary scan, across partner manufacturing sites.
• Audit fixture qualifications using gauge repeatability and reproducibility and strain gauge analysis. Evaluate test plan stability and coverage to eliminate "false fails" and meet organizational quality benchmarks.
• Provide technical expertise throughout the product lifecycle. Drive test capacity readiness, support NPI builds, and perform deep-dive root cause analysis for manufacturing yield excursions and field escapes.

Minimum qualifications:

• Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related technical field.
• 5 years of experience in manufacturing test engineering, structural engineering, or a related hardware validation role.
• 5 years of experience developing and deploying structural test solutions, specifically In-Circuit Testing (ICT), Flying Probe (FPT), and Boundary Scan (JTAG).
• Experience managing CM/ODM partners and implementing test strategies.

Preferred qualifications:

• Experience leading New Product Introduction (NPI) test readiness, including capacity planning and root-cause analysis for manufacturing yield issues or field escapes.
• Ability to qualify test fixtures using gauge repeatability and reproducibility, and strain gauge testing to ensure mechanical and electrical reliability during the test process.
